COLLECTION SUB ROSA-Autumn-Winter 2010-11 // Women // Added 2010/02/12 at 10:45

Inspiration:

"Sub Rosa", or "Under the Rose" denotes secrecy and discretion. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite gave a rose to her son Eros, the god of love; he, in turn, gave it to Harpocrates, the god of silence.

In our story, two young sisters play in the winterly whirlwind as if they were fairies, hulling each other in the snow storm up the forest path. This is their secret, their romance with nature, and their love for each other.


Execution:


The concept of "Sub Rosa" inspired us to create an Autumn-Winter collection where our Central European brand heritage is juxtaposed with contemporary trends. This is where tradition meets youth, and the real meets fantasy.

Our collection features romantically soft and natural draping. The palette is monochromatic, yet accented by the color of coral-rose that is often revealed as a highlight or from underneath the garment.

Fabrics include cotton, satin, wool, viscose, and tulle.


Naming:

Ea ch garment is named after a rose that was used as the muse for its creation.
