I receive my muse from the beauty of nature…
I gain my color schemes directly from Nature and her colour palette.”

Yolanda Aluwihare Holm
With more than 30 years of design experience, the name Yolanda Aluwihare, has always been synonymous with fashion in Sri Lanka. Her intriguing story, from humble beginnings, creating her first pieces with a modest 100 Rupees (less than 1 US$), to her maiden success as a designer and her runway shows in the fashion capitals, is a story that illustrates her undying perfectionism and unquestionable talent for couture fashion. Inspired by colours and designs from the natural world, each of her pieces are chic, elegant and the only one of its kind.
An artist at heart, her training at Lyons, France on the complex art of silk painting and her experience with natural materials and batik design are the lethal combination that distinguishes her clothing from an already cluttered market. Over the years her designs have evolved according to changing tastes, but even the first pieces retain a look that fits with today’s fashion standards. Timeless designs, lush fabrics, uncompromised quality and an eye for perfection has earned Yolanda a place on the fashion platform of fame. But her story doesn’t end here, her designs continue to mesmerize foreign and local fashion enthusiasts and as far as Yolanda is concerned, this is just the beginning.
