Urban Orchid

The collection shown during the New York Fashion Week was collaboration between Arkadius and highly acclaimed British jewellery designer, Stephen Webster. A modern woman, whose beauty and sensuality has to adapt to an urban lifestyle, inspired it. The city envelops her, while her elegance and femininity take in modern and sharper values. An orchid is now her new urban mask. The symbol of this collection is an orchid. It stands for beauty, mystique and extravagance. It is the queen of all flowers with its delicacy representing the feminine sensuality and love, and its exotic power and sexuality reminding of urban strength and passion. The orchid-woman overcomes her innate fragility. This is reflected in the edgy elegance and sharp, modern cuts of the designs. The deep red of the orchid combined with the jewellery specially designed by Stephen Webster using the finest Tahitian Pearls with their lustre and perfect form, were the inspiration for the erotic design of the orchid print.
