Cupid de Locke

'Cupid hath drawn back his sweetheart's bow

To cast divine arrows into her soul

To grab her attention swift and quick

Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick.'

- Cupid de Locke - The Smashing Pumpkins-

Singapore-born, London-based designer eugene.lin's AW13 collection, Cupid de Locke follows Paris' sojourn to Troy.

"Aphrodite honours her agreement to give the most beautiful woman in the world to him by having her son, Eros (Cupid) shoot Helen of Troy with his arrow. This causes Helen to fall in love with the first man she sees - Paris, as he enters the city. The collection is a modern interpretation and contrasts between the involuntary violence and fragility of love."
Strapless dresses, tailored pieces and trench coats in classic autumnal colours embellished with gold studs  opened the scene for eugene.lin signature digital print dresses.

La collezione AW13 del designer londinese, di origine di Singapore, eugene.lin, Cupid de Locke, segue il soggiorno di Paride a Troia.

Afrodite onora il proprio patto secondo il quale avrebbe concesso a Paride la donna piu' bella del mondo, facendo si' che suo figlio, Eros (Cupido), colpisca Elena di Troia con la sua freccia. Come previsto, Elena si innamora del primo uomo che vede, Paride. La collezione e' una interpretazione moderna del contrasto tra la violenza involontaria e la fragilità dell'amore.
Vesiti senza spalline, pezzi di sartoria e trench in classici colori autunnali decorati con borchie dorate hanno aperto la scena ai vestiti in stampe digitali tipici di eugene.lin
