Inspired by humanness, self-reflection and acceptance of the not-soperfect facets of the soul, this body of work is inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins: envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath. Even though the collective name bears the connotation of death, I believe that coming to terms with the fact that these emotions at some point or another will invade our existance is a necessary step in coming to terms with the reality of life. This is my fashion, contemporary and colourful take on this eternal theme.
