Existential

  • Eleanor Thompson
We are never truly still; even to try would leave our hearts pumping blood through our veins and our minds constantly murmuring an internal dialogue. And the world we live in is constantly murmuring, a gentle sway which is only lived once.

Jean Paul Sartre’s novel “Nausea” fed the visual inspiration for this collection; while physical objects are not described, his words instead convey a feeling, or motion. Representations of crashing waves, of billowing clouds and swaying trees create movement, not of speed or urgency, but a gentle movement as the world passes by.

Couture, evening women’s wear. Designed not for the woman who is still to be photographed, but she who moves with elegance and confidence.
