ART INSPIRATION

This dervish Cape is adorned by the Hippocampus, the great and proud companion of Poseidon, god of horses, earthquakes, and the sea.

The hippocampus (translated as seahorse) is typically depicted as having the upper body of a winged horse with the lower body of a fish, was said to draw Poseidon’s chariot through the waves.

By depicting this strong, proud creature, I hope to give a person wearing the coat, feeling the grandeur, to feel as if they are riding a golden wave atop of a gold winged-sea horse.

THE CUT

The asymmetrical hemline of the Dervish coat is cut to revive the circular movement of the coat of a dancing Dervish while in motion of the meditative ritual dance. This cut has soft regal shoulders, is comfortably oversized and can be worn as a layering piece. Each Dervish coat in the collection has its own unique artwork applied by hand.

Please note: Some lookbook images and videos only show the cut, not the individual design.  For individual design, please refer to the top of the product gallery.
