VOGUE ITALIA featuring Camelia Skikos dress
The Fall Winter 2013/14 SILENT MEMORY Collection was inspired by the traditions of peasants from Northern Transilvania (The Maramures Region in Romania) and the various ways in which people in a traditional culture relate to their environment, past and present, body and spirit, old and young. With details and shapes inspired from the Romanian old wooden churches, old rugs and the traditional woolen coats worn by shepherds, this collection reflects a duality between a very constructed, tailored look and the softer and more natural shapes.
