founded in 2006, avant-garde romanian label rozalb de mura presents for spring 2010 a conceptual collection designed by olah gyarfas … entitled “véráztatta maradványok – solyomkő” (the remains). the collection is composed of two theatrical monochromatic red head-to-toe silhouettes (one for boys and one for girls), each one of them deconstructing and reconstructing into a multitude of different outfits from a primitive, tribal air to complicatedly royal volumes thanks to a knotting system …
it is inspired by a dark fairytale …
“the woods grew dark and deep … grey is the light and down it creeps, through thousand needle leaves … a bitter wind, the fir trees stand tall and stately … in splendid indifference you’re all alone … an owl cries, it’s only a bird – wise, they say …
or is it a laugh ?
you shudder in the unknown …
beware … go round the mountains of the moon, get down the valleys of sorrow, do look away from dancing shadows …
cover your ears, the voices you hear are oh, too temptingly, cruelly sweet …
the mighty woods are all behind … you went to rest under the great hawk’s rock … and there it was … a nest of earth and bones that threw alluring shimmers, of gold and light, of blues and greens, the dream of dreamers …
remains of bloody unseen worlds, or ancient shrine to power ? you’ll never know … raise and take away your gaze, do not upset the silence … times are not ripe yet, traveler …”
rozalb de mura also acts as an artistic catalyst, a multi-disciplinary platform, with/between fashion designers, visual artists, musicians or writers …
