SS2020 Apollo and the Nine Muses Collection

The Apollo and the Nine Muses collection is an artistic bridal and evening wear collection inspired by Viennese classicism sculptures by Joseph Klieber. The sandstone figures illustrate nine muses and Apollo in Greek mythology. Each muse represents a form of art including poetry, astronomy, dance, comedy, tragedy, lyric, love poetry, history and music. Each look in the collection addresses one type of art. A variety of fabrics with different weight and texture such as tulle, organza, beaded and embroidered lace and sequined mesh are used, along with intensive handwork for surface textile details to create unique and artistic modern bridalwear.
