Eion (εἶον): Ancient Greek for “shoreline”
Crafted in a structured checkered textile, the Eion trousers explore the visual metaphor of containment. The grid-like pattern evokes the symbolic cages woven throughout the Basra Tapestry—systems of control that governed the lives of its muses.
Embroidered appliqué detailing at the hem references the contours of the shoreline as it’s overtaken by waves in Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. These organic interruptions break through the rigidity of the check, drawing a parallel between mythological birth and the push-pull of boundaries.
Tailored with a soft collar and relaxed silhouette, the Eion shirt balances clarity with complexity—grounded in classical visual language, and rooted in the tension between structure and fluidity.
The Eion Pants reinterpret classic tailoring through a conceptual lens. Cut in a sculptural barrel-legged silhouette, Eion introduces volume and movement while maintaining an architectural precision. Designed to pair with the Eion Shirt or to stand alone as a sculptural base layer in any narrative ensemble.
