Memento Mortalis Es
Here is my senior collection for my fashion design degree! The theme is Greek myths of hubris and the transformative punishments mortals faced.
The looks are:
Actaeon: a hunter who spied on Artemis bathing and was turned into a deer
Bellerophon: A hero who using a golden bridle tried flying to Olympus on Pegasus before Zeus sent a horsefly to knock him off.
Icarus: Flew too close to the sun with wax wings while trying to escape imprisonment, so he eventually fell into the sea and drowned.
Pasiphae: The Queen of Crete, when her husband refused to sacrifice a white bull, she was cursed to fall in lust with it. She commissioned a bull costume to wear and thus the Minotaur was born.
Arachne: A great weaver who was challenged by Athena, and when Arachne won she was beaten and later turned into a spider. Her skirt holds the myths of all of these stories.
If you are interested in learning more, on my instagram (@script_condron) I have more photos, a lookbook, and greater explanations for each piece as every bit of the collection was thought through.
