Designer Biya Ramar radiates passion as she discusses art, graphics, textiles, tribal artifacts, history, and world cultures; her design inspirations. In 2000, she introduced her eponymous line of eclectic clothing, characterized by a timeless romanticism. Embroidered mesh, velvet, stonewashed silks, and cotton voile fabrics lend themselves to supple, elegant silhouettes. Inherent in the BIYA collection are the JOHNNY WAS brand's most opulent statement dresses, which can traverse ballroom to garden party to wedding. BIYA's draped wraps and intricately adorned tunics address the casual lifestyle of the bohemian sophisticate.
