SS21 Akrotiri Frescoes Limited Collection
Our 2021 Spring/Summer collection bears the name of one of the most popular destinations in Greece, the idyllic Santorini. Celebrated for what is arguably the most beautiful sunset in the world, the volcanic island hides a wealth of lesser-known treasures, amongst which the frescoes of Akrotiri, a Cycladic Bronze Age settlement. Even though the site itself is much older, with its history going back to the fifth millennium BC, the surviving frescoes are some of the most important samples of Minoan art, dating around 1700 BC. But why look for inspiration in art that is already thousands of years old? How is the latter still relevant in the context of fashion design in 2021?
