Love Conquers All Pixie Duster (Cropped Length)

$129.00

When we found this powerful image from the 1800s in a library archive, we actually gasped with delight! At once strong and soft, bold and romantic, we couldn’t help but be swept away. The antique lithograph depicts two figures locked in an embrace, with the arm of one and the face of the other forming a heart. Honestly we’d never seen anything like it :) We did extensive reconstruction on the image, adding doves flying out from a crescent moon in the sky, and the swirling galaxy below. Lastly, we included the words “Amor Vincit Omnia”, which translates from Latin as “Love Conquers All”. And we truly believe that it does.

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Kimono measurements: length 58cm, width (across back, underarm to underarm) 74cm. Model is 5’9” for reference.

How To Wear

+

One of our very favourites for its versatility, this piece dresses up or down with ease! Play up the vintage angle with distressed jeans and boots, keep it chic with black trousers, or go romantic by mixing it with a silk dress. We also love it layered over textures like tulle and lace for an unexpected, playful look. The palette of charcoal, midnight, taupe and cream pairs beautifully with both warm and cool tones, making it so easy to mix in to your existing wardrobe.

Sometimes the antique prints and images we discover are not in the best condition, so even though we might think they’re beautiful, we have to abandon the idea of creating anything with them. We found the lithograph for Love Conquers All in pretty rough shape, with rips, water spots, and extensive wear from the considerable age. But we loved it so much we just couldn’t let it go! We worked with our talented graphic designer to restore and reimagine the image — and we’re so happy with the results. It’s become one of our very favourite pieces in the whole collection, and we hope you love it too :)

The Poem

+

The world keeps on teaching her
plainness. Starched 
artless truths, sensible lines 
on flat paper. Lines on the road outside 
her car window, going by 
in the rumble of passing seconds 
that will stack like bricks and somehow 
become a life. But oh — 

her heart learns
that some seconds are soft and wild 
as kisses. She gathers these 
in the folds of her clothes and in the hollows
of her throat like jewels, ripe 
apples and pears in trees by the roadside
bruised but sweet in the warm rain. Her lines curve 
like a hundred winding roads, her forehead rests
against the car window and she feels it 
thrumming under her touch 
like the chest of a lover.
