Helena Set
The Helena Set comes in two-pieces - a top, made out of silk organza, draped to look like 2 waves on the ocean, and a skirt that becomes the highlighting arc of the piece.
The Helena Set takes inspiration from the traditional garter belt, playing on takes from the idea of nudity vs nakedness vs sin, and the role that ‘purity’ has to play on charting the paths of women, specifically those through history. Named after the classic whore/goddess categorization are examined by, with a special attention to the Helen of Troy, a woman often shunned for the ‘role’ she played in the destruction of Troy. The skirt is built in a sheath shape, with an optional side-train.
The hand-woven, pearl-belted elements speak to the trapped emotions and lives of our heroines whose days were often ruled by external influences, such as society as a whole. The same theme carries through the embroidery, where rope is delicately secured in place in the shape of vine-like pattern with hand-stitches.
The length of the opaque layer can be extended on request.
