Ostracism takes inspiration from the archetypal story of Eve's expulsion from Eden. The collection features flowing white dresses, crafted from sheer fabric, symbolizing innocence and vulnerability. Delicate tree leaves, intricately embroidered or appliquéd onto the gowns, represent the forbidden knowledge and the burden of newfound awareness.
The dresses themselves evoke a sense of isolation. While the white fabric hints at purity, its sheerness creates a barrier, a constant reminder of the separation from the sheltered world of innocence. The exposed skin beneath the leaves creates a tension between vulnerability and a burgeoning sensuality, mirroring Eve's newfound self-awareness.
Ostracism explores the complex emotions surrounding expulsion and isolation. It is a collection that speaks to the bittersweet transition from innocence to experience, the beauty and burden of newfound knowledge, and the lingering sense of longing for a lost paradise.
