In a whitewashed fashion story, it is also in this delicacy and naivety that the idea of innocence is translated.

In a whitewashed fashion story, it is also in this delicacy and naivety that the idea of innocence is translated. On the unscathed side of being, on the planet's natural elements, on the immaculate happiness of being outdoors... like a flower that blooms at the first rays of sunlight, without conditioning or preconceptions, in its purest state. It’s not by chance that the lotus flower, in the East, means spiritual purity. In Buddhist symbolism, more specifically, this specimen is related to the purity of body and mind, with detachment from carnal pleasures, symbolized by the muddy water where the lotus floats, in a metaphor for the search for light and elevation of the spirit. Which is more or less what we feel when we leaf through this editorial where the blank canvas is the starting point and the finishing line. Photography by Clover Green. Styling by Annie Hertikova.
