Separation, Transformation and Return: The Hero's Journey
In The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Joseph Campbell explores the universal patterns at the heart of mythological storytelling. But the Hero's Journey it not just a litera...
In collaboration with world renowned artist Carlos Luna, the Empingated Knit Skirt brings to life the themes of life, death, and the human struggle for survival, drawn from Luna’s work Empingated. The design depicts an anthropomorphic man, entangled in the jungle of life experiences, facing his own mortality. As death reaches out to him, the man hides a knife, attempting to fight against the inevitable. The concepts of life and death are represented by the phrases “La Vida” (Life) and “La Muerte” (Death). The artwork also includes the anglicized Cuban explicative “Pinga,” suggesting that the conflict between life and death is “F*cked.” This piece reflects the tension between life’s cyclical nature and the enduring struggle for control, offering a deep commentary on human existence.
Made from 80% Merino Wool / 20% Mohair, the Empingated Knit Skirt is crafted from natural fibers that provide both warmth and breathability. The luxurious material ensures a soft, comfortable feel, while the combination of merino wool and mohair offers durability and a refined texture. This skirt is a timeless piece that provides both style and comfort, perfect for any occasion.
The Empingated Knit Skirt is designed to accentuate the body, featuring a graceful silhouette that fits all body types. The adjustable wrap adds versatility and comfort, allowing the skirt to be worn in different ways, whether alone or layered over pants. This piece is perfect for a variety of occasions, transitioning seamlessly between styles and seasons.
