concept
A nostalgic woman searching for her lost childhood, the place where she was exiled from. Although she does not idealise the past, she wishes that wherever she goes she can find her homeland, the place where life began. She seeks a new beginning. A woman who confronts destiny like a matador faces a bull. She would like to run away from her attachment to the past, but it always returns to haunt her and she cannot but be enticed. The costume of the torero, Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s installations and Elsa Schiaparelli’s work were the main sources of inspiration for Heaven’s collection, which is also a tribute to his sister.
