Entry Description

"Romance for the cynics", Ariel's debut collection is a love letter written with silk and stitches. Captivated by bridal wear and old fashioned dress making technique, the collection itself is a sonnet to modern love stories. In contrast to the fairytale happily ever after, her work captured the fragmentation and imperfection of the golden age thinkers. This collection is created for the deep rooted romanticism trapped in cynical bodies.
