MYSTERIES

There are secret worlds. I have always been fascinated by them! Dark mysteries and secrets we will never learn. The dark side of history and the mysterious modern world. Powerful forces controlling and changing the way the world and the system function. 

The Vatican, freemasonry, world wars, stock exchanging crashes, cold war, the United States, Russia, cursed objects, deeply rich and old families, the outer space, moon landings and dark architecture, are some of the things I'm constantly reading and trying to learn about! It's food for your mind, I want to make you think and probably get inspired!

All of these, through the years had a sensible effect on art and the fashion industry! I am always extremely excited to discover history through fashion for example. For Spring 2011 Marios Schwab presented a collection that was, for me, very dark and mystical. Also, John Galliano often uses religious symbols to his collections or for Dior's. Have a look!

 Masonic symbols printed on the dresses and the bags, and also beautifully decorating the laced dresses!

At John Galliano fall 2009 rosaries were used, even though it was weird because it was based on Russia and Russians are orthodox. And back in 2000 fall couture the Pope-dress! Stunning.

And then, I tried, pathetically, to create dark and mystical accessory settings. A white gothic-looking crystal and a red rosary, bought from the Vatican City!

Apparently we know nothing!
