Lupercal - Spring 2024
The collection draws inspiration from the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, known for its wild and sensual rituals. At the heart of debauchery and indulgence we find esoteric green spirits: from luscious fruits and tantalizing spices to intoxicating and entheogenic blossoms. Herein lies a myriad of tastes, fragrances, and textures that ignite our senses and unlock new realms of pleasure and spiritual gnosis. Each piece serves as a visual feast of intricate botanical patterns inviting you to unravel their enigmatic motif of provocative sensory indulgence, mystic states of altered consciousness, and the allure of the forbidden. Animal skulls and bones provide a stark canvas to remind us of the cyclical nature of existence. Through this expression of the complex dichotomy of life and death, we experience the intensity of desires of the flesh and the poignant reminder of mortality.
