“Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries.”

We are a textile print collection that parallels the duality of social and cultural issues being faced by this millennial consumer. The patterns and color stories embedded within the collection have direct correlation to its message. This season we focus on “Toxic Beauty”, the risk vs. benefit ratio between synthetic chemicals used in the beauty industry.

St. Muerte Santa Muertre or Saint of Death is a sacred feminine folk saint. She is seen most commonly on the Mexican Day of the Dead, to remind us of our own mortality. Death was personified in Aztec and other cultures in the form of humans with half their flesh missing, symbolizing the duality of life and death. Morbidity is an inevitable of our existence and we must realize our purpose and appreciate the beauty of life. This collection shows the parallax between the beautiful purpose of life and the morbidity of our future.
