“Whilst creating my design, I first drew inspiration from my Resene colour, Crusoe. Crusoe means a castaway, one who lives or survives by his or her unaided effort and ingenuity. To me I immediately thought of Robinson Crusoe, a survivor on an island.
I translated this idea into a jungle goddess which is associated with growth, harmony, freshness and fertility, made me think of the Buddhist Goddess Tara. Tara is depicted with green skin; she is a forest goddess and the divine feminine source of the universe, associated with nature and plant life. She is the mother of healing and liberation, emotions suitable to the design theme ‘new beginnings’.
With the design theme in mind I thought about nature, plant life and how lockdown gave the earth and each other a chance to heal and grow. My design reflects my ideas and theme with its goddess-like feminine silhouette and earthy vibe. The cascading hanky shirt with a high thigh split works with the drape of the silk creating a bold ethereal look as the model walks. The twisted ties at the neck and waist mimic jungle vines as they wrap around the body, to then hang long and free. The top flatters and embraces the feminine shape. This look is versatile, flowing and fresh, representing the nature and feminine energy inspiration I gathered from my Resene colour Crusoe.”
