NERIUM
NERIUM | 2023
It was an unexpected gift. Oleander blossoms, lovingly picked in the Maldives and given with a smile. Seemingly fragile, yet resilient. Too beautiful to be forgotten. I packed them up, brought them back home and began to study them - pressing, drying, deforming... Each petal carried a story of transformation, from fresh vibrancy to its final form. Thus was born the NERIUM mini collection - an ode to love that can be both sweet and deadly.
The oil of oleander is poisonous, as is the love that burns and heals at the same time. The colours of the collection reflect the plant itself - the delicate tones of the flowers contrasting with the deep hues of its leaves and roots. The delicate but firm materials adapt to the body, embracing it with a gentle intensity that holds strength. Carefully chosen natural textiles and constructions symbolize the fine line between passion and danger, between beauty and its hidden edge.
NERIUM is love in its purest form - intoxicating, fragile, but never without consequences.
