“mare mare mare voglio annegare Portami lontano a naufragare Via via via da queste sponde Portami lontano sulle onde”
(Franco Battiato – Summer on a solitary beach)
Crafted from the palest light blue fabric, this robe gown evokes the quiet echoes of a past steeped in pain and forgotten memories. Its delicate appearance, reminiscent of vintage robes, belies the weight of its true purpose. Woven with countless restraining straps, the garment becomes a testament to a long journey of self-discovery and struggle, where fragility and strength are mixed together in a fragile balance. The soft, ethereal fabric contrasts sharply with the harshness of the straps, symbolizing the tension between vulnerability and resilience. This robe is not just a piece of clothing; it is a vessel for emotion, a reflection of the inner battles fought in silence, and the delicate, often painful, process of transformation. It carries the history of those who wore it before—those whose struggles gave rise to the strength that now lies within—and speaks to the ongoing journey toward self-empowerment and healing.
The back embroidery, intricately stitching the word "Drowning," serves as a poignant symbol of the heavy, often unspoken pain we all carry along the path of self-discovery. It speaks to the suffocating moments of struggle—when we feel submerged in our emotions, lost in the depths of inner turmoil. Yet, within this word lies a quiet truth: that in the process of drowning, we also learn to surface, to breathe, and to evolve. This embroidery is not merely an adornment; it is a reminder that our wounds are not weaknesses but part of the intricate fabric that shapes our growth and the ultimate understanding of ourselves.
Woven from a rare vintage 60s polyester, a fabric no longer in production, and adorned with a weathered marabou trim, this garment is a delicate ode to a bygone era. Each carefully chosen material evokes a profound sense of nostalgia, capturing the essence of a time that has long since faded, yet lingers in the air like an echo. The polyester, with its timeless sheen, and the marabou, frayed and worn by time, speak to the fragility of memory, inviting the wearer to step into a moment suspended between past and present. Together, these elements weave a story of forgotten elegance, offering a tactile experience of the past that feels both distant and intimately close.
