The Scent of Iris: A Celebration of Beauty
“The iris is more than a flower, it is a symbol, a story, a feeling. Known for its powdery, luminous scent, iris has long represented faith, hope, and wisdom. In Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow, a divine messenger between heaven and earth, embodying connection, promise, and beauty in transition. Her presence reminds us that beauty often lives in nuance, in light and shadow, in strength and softness.
This symbolism finds a powerful echo in art, most famously in Vincent van Gogh’s Irises, where intensity of color meets emotional depth. The iris becomes alive, bold yet fragile, disciplined yet expressive, much like creativity itself.
This creative collection is inspired by that same spirit. It is a celebration of beauty in all its forms, expressed through versatile silhouettes designed for layering and transformation, seamlessly moving from day to evening. The collection plays with contrasts: masculine and feminine, structure and fluidity, intimacy and statement. It embraces freedom of expression while honoring timeless craftsmanship.
At its heart, the collection is deeply rooted in a love for artisanal workmanship. Each piece celebrates the human hand care, precision, and devotion to detail. Lace whispers against the skin, bows soften silhouettes, flowers bloom in unexpected places. Nightgowns are reimagined beyond the bedroom, becoming expressions of elegance and confidence. Leopard adds instinct and edge; metallics bring light and reflection.
The color palette moves between white and black, purity and depth, accented with gold, azur, and shimmering metallic tones, echoing the rainbow of the goddess Iris herself. These colors are not chosen to decorate, but to evoke emotion, mood, and individuality.
Ultimately, this collection is about celebrating beauty, not perfection, but emotion; not excess, but intention. Beauty as faith. Beauty as hope. Beauty as wisdom. Like the iris, it stands quietly powerful, timeless, and endlessly inspiring.”
