The Moon and Stars.
The stars that round the Queen of Night.
Like maids attend her
Hide as in veils of mist their light
When she, in full-orbed glory bright.
O’er all the earth shines from her height.
A sliver splendour.

MARIJA KULUSIC
Marija Kulusic is a womenswear slow fashion designer based in Zagreb, Croatia. Known for her sophisticated hand nished details and delicate fabric techniues that reuire time, behind every design there is a strong narrative and an exploration between the juxtaposition of modern and traditional to achieve timeless pieces with the element of surprise.
Lâcher Prise. It’s a feeling.
Lâcher Prise comes from the French expression meaning “liberation achieved by detaching from the desire to control” and letting go of any emotional restraint. The concept is simple: to convey the feeling of Lâcher Prise through innovative design. Breaking genders boundaries and following principles of freedom and excellence, Lâcher Prise creates genderless designs that are inclusive for all.
French native, Marine Delmau moved to NYC in 2011 to study fashion marketing at Parsons School of Design. Out of college, she found her way in the fashion and when the name Lâcher Prise came to her in a dream, and from there, her rich and meaningful label and designs took shape.
VANESSA SPOSI
