Named after the Ancient Greek enduo—"to sink into, to clothe oneself”. Enduo evokes the moment Venus first emerges, not only from the sea, but into form. In Botticelli’s painting, she stands poised on the threshold of becoming—nude, but not naked, unclothed but not vulenarable. Enduo imagines what happens the moment after: when she steps ashore, and the wind stills after the world forces its will upon her; when she is clothed.
The silhouette is a gentle trapeze, voluminous and embroidered with droplets of pearls, cascading from the collarbone in a deliberate, uninterrupted descent. Cut in cotton khadi, the fabric breathes with the irregularities of human touch—soft, weightless, almost air-worn - all a contrast to the visually heavy neckline, atop which a dense arrange of hand-wired flowers forms a structural bodice. The flowers, like coral formations rising from seafoam, they are tactile and precise, turning the dress into both garment and artifact. The balance is tied complete with the pearl-woven straps that graze over the shoulder of the wearer, drawing attention to the droop of the shoulder, and the delicate sculpt of the collarbone.
