Pg. 2a - Elegance in Silence
MODEL: Velvet Carmine
Pioneering the first official alteration in PiB Catalogue history, makes her mark in haute couture!
Putting a Hingan twist to the Ryoqor Terteh-inspired Blessing of Moonlit Snow, the intricate diamond patterns and snowflake embellishments have been superseded by a different form of imagery popular in Far Eastern symbolism.
Amidst the cascading silken sea of obsidian black and ruby red blooms the alluring-yet-deadly flowers of the higanbana, or Spider Lily; Nightshade, and Lily of the Valley. This careful arrangement of plants weave together the name of this kimono: "静寂の中の優雅さ", which translates to "Elegance in Silence" in the Hingan language.
Accented with gilded trim, gloves of dark velvet, and brought together with a lotus flower comb and spider lily obi, this ensemble was created to better suit the summer and autumn seasons in contrast to the wintry undertones of its predecessor. The flowers billowing from this kimono belies a clever message: that even if flowers wither and fade, heralding the end of all things, the deceit brought by death... belies its hidden beauty.
Power in Beauty is more than just pretty words; Elegance in Silence - a simple phrase - can hold myriad meanings, just as an outfit created by the Higuri Regalia's finest can leaves lasting impressions upon the fashion realm.
