AD VITAM AETERNAM

Having been inspired by Sicilian heritage and medieval Italian literature, AD VITAM ÆTERNAM (latin: forever, for eternity, for life) critiques the hypocrisies of Catholic figureheads in the Roman Catholic church with each look representing one of the deadly sins. Taking elements from the two mediaeval novels, The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, and The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, mankind will always be envious, wrathful, lustful, greedy, prideful. These traits will never go away and it makes us human.

LOOKBOOK

“Amor, ch'al cor gentile ratto s'apprende
prese costui de la bella persona
che mi fu tolta; e 'l modo ancor m'offende.

Amor, che a nullo amato amar perdona,
Mi prese del costui piacer sì forte,
Che, come vedi, ancor non m'abbandona..."


"Love, which quickly arrests the gentle heart,
Seized him with my beautiful form
That was taken from me, in a manner which still grieves me.

Love, which pardons no beloved from loving,
took me so strongly with delight in him
That, as you see, it still abandons me not...”
Dante Alighieri, Inferno
