Wild Orchids in Heaven

Arkadius, makes sculptures for bodies. Fabric twists and delineates the curve of a woman moving through space, transforming her skin into petals or wings of feather or hair. The language is a complex one-full of unexpected collisions of materials, colours and surfaces, it manipulates and challenges how a piece of clothing can, and should, function. Theatrical, playful and sensual. Arkadius designs allude to a different realm, one where secrets and stories and dreams have inspired him to create clothes that, if you were lucky enough to wear them, could transform a dull day into something magical – a celebration of possibilities.
