Royal Maenads: Abundant Decadence...

Abundant decadence was the first thing I thought of when I looked at Dimtris Dassios' Fall-Winter 2012 collection.Here is a selection I made, pictures from CatwalkMag.





I want to contrast the Royal Maenads with the Minor Asia Bacchants and the poor Woman of Thebes who join the following.
These women would be able to copy the dress-style, the jewellery and the ornaments of the original Bacchae but substituting it with more expensive materials.



A selection from Dassios' jewellery, accessory, and garment collections from his website, it is even called jewel art, a self-explicative name that mirrors the fashion house's talent with jewellery.


Dimitris Dassios uses very structured textures, with a sense of floral organics and hint of tribalesque.
