Drawing from the tragic Greek myth of Hyacinthus, ‘The Rebirth of Hyacinth’ explores the intertwined forces of love, jealousy and loss, examining their capacity to provoke profound emotional transformation. Reinterpreting the relationship between Hyacinth, Apollo and Zephyr, the collection traces the progression from divine affection to destructive envy, and eventually, the metamorphosis of Hyacinth into a blossom, a symbol of the enduring nature of love beyond mortality.

The collection unfolds through a gradual transition in silhouette and materiality, where the interplay between ethereal drapery and rigid tailoring reflects the emotional progression of the narrative. Soft, flowing fabrics and delicate silhouettes evoke the intimacy and tenderness of the initial encounter, while structured tailoring, leather and latex introduce a growing sense of tension, possessiveness and impending tragedy. As the narrative reaches its conclusion, intricate motifs and pronounced, textural embellishments embody the transformation of Hyacinth, not simply as an act of divine intervention, but as a testament to the persistence of memory.

The myth teaches us of the human capacity to love and to lose, to desire and to envy, considering how even the most painful experiences can become catalysts for the transformation of the psyche.
