DESIGN STATEMENT
Arcana: In the Cards' is a collection exploring transformation, intuition and self-discovery through tarot symbolism. Each garment represents a specific card: Death, The Magician and The Moon, expressed through draping, fabric textures, sculptural pleating and wearable silhouettes. To highlight the contrast between vulnerability and strength, lightweight flowing fabrics are paired with the aforementioned structured pleating and draping. The collection combines storytelling and craftsmanship, creating pieces that encourage self-reflection, connection to identity and empowerment. 'Arcana' transforms everyday dressing into a personal, meaningful experience, offering garments that express individuality and let the wearer carry their own narrative with confidence and presence.
