Felipe Solisce. Prêt-à-Porter. Fall-Winter 2013-2014.























At the begging of sketching this season I was so full of love, I was very happy about everything and then it all started to fall apart. I was very sick a month ago, I was very sad, etc etc. And so I decided to change the collection, one could say I CURSED the collection (Beauty and the Beast reference).
I wanted the collection to feel like love feels. Hard and soft, heavy and light.  And so I changed the tulles and the ribbons for leather, transparency for a battle lace, I changed the whole theme from a medieval princess in love to the black death, medieval wars and a widow Queen.
A queen that saw her whole kingdom fall apart, and had to go away to the war, because his king had fallen sick with the Black Death, and then returning glorious to her land just to find her beloved king death. Praying to  death to take her too, but at the same time being able to stay strong for her kingdom.

SOUNDTRACK: Return of the She-King - Dead Can Dance.
