Moon Phases
Inspired by the darkness of a new moon, how it brings time for reflection and exploring the unseen, this season we’re giving thoughtful appreciation of the beauty of darkness. A collection designed for marvellous ceremonies and sensational after-party celebrations. ‘Moon Phases’ is a creative a continuation of our previous body of work. Inspired by gardening in harmony with the phases of the moon.
The moon has four ‘phases.’ The amount of moonlight at different times, influences the growth of plants. This season we’re connecting with the phases of the Moon, tapping into our deep desire as a brand to be in as in tune with nature as possible. We’re taking a moment to connect to new rhythms and cycles outside of the often frantic pace of our busy studio schedule. Plants have a circadian rhythm just as do humans, animals and birds. Certain processes take place within the plant at certain times that stimulate different kinds of growth. Studies show that the moon affects how a plant grows, in the same way it affects the oceans’ tides.
Lunar Garden
Hermione de Paula’s 2023 Couture Collection is inspired by the concept of the moon, sea and stars as a harmonious natural governance.
The story takes us from the constellations in the sky, through the zodiacs and the celestial river of the cosmos, diving through verdant plant life and into the depths of the oceanic world.
Featuring new embroideries and beading, and the debut of entirely new silhouettes, this is a bold new direction for the House, with a Collection inspired by lunar and underwater worlds entwined. In this cyclical world, the moon is a guiding force with a strong influence on the ocean, whilst underwater seashells hold the energy of the moon phases. This is a collection rich in beautiful symbolism.
Kadō
Kadō is an ancient Japanese art of flower arranging. Rather that offering an over flowering bouquet, the tradition, literally translated as ‘way of flowers’, presents individual blossoms one at a time, building up an arrangement, allowing the viewer to enjoy each aspect of the whole.
In Kadō tradition, every flower communicates a special message. It is this language of symbolism which lies at the core of Hermione de Paula and a collection celebrating artistic expression of the heart and mind.
Virēre
Virēre | I am verdant, green; I sprout new green growth. I flourish; I am lively, vigorous.
The Virēre collection centres around the idea of transformation and renewal. Inspired by underwater gardens, waterfalls and ruffly Tridacna clam shells, layers of the finest fabrics are covered in intricate embroideries, hand painted silks and hand crafted 3D silk organza hand dyed flowers.
