THE COLLECTION elegant / alluring / serene
Aquatic feminism Sirens, depicted in mythology as beautiful yet deadly creatures, would use their enchanting voices and songs to lure passing sailors to their deaths. Using these femme fatales as inspiration for color and style, this collection s i l h o u e t t e’s would also mimic the effortless beauty of movement in w a t e r.
