Grim Inspiration

Here’s a designer to look out for: Lea Peckre, recent winner at the Hyeres Festival, an annual fashion and photography competition held in the South of France. Her inspiration for the collection? Graveyards. Pretty cool. In her words:

“…The subject is not religious and macabre but attracted by the absurd beauties of the end of life and by the confusing places who gave a strong and mysterious atmosphere… Details and elements are the essences of the cemeteries… graves (stones and monuments), woods, surrounding trees, creeping vegetation, wreaths of flowers and wrought iron drawing contrasts in the landscape which will be the starting point for my collection.”
