‘Endymion’
Autumn/Winter 2015/16
‘A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
pass into nothingness; but still will keep
a bower quiet for us, and a sleep
full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.’
‘Endymion’ by John Keats tells the mythological and impossible love of Endymion and Selene, marked by beauty and the quest of eternal youth.
The intrinsic notions of perfection and symmetry as an absolute requirement for beauty during Classicism, are the inspiration base, allied with the principles of order and geometry of the Classic Architecture.
This collection quests the balance of proportions and the rationality of shapes, aesthetically influenced by Jane Campion’s film ‘Bright Star’ portraying the romance between Keats and Fanny Brawne, during the decade of 1880.
