Dream Weaver Goddess Duster

$139.00

A regal, resplendent celebration of the stories told in the stars! Our Dreamweaver design features an iconic 1896 zodiac illustration by beloved Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha, depicting a woman majestically surrounded by the by the 12 zodiac signs and adorned with intricate celestial jewellery. The background of this beautiful piece comes from a floral ink-on-silk scroll painting by Ueno Setsugaku, created in the 1860’s. To add even more detail to this design, we embellished the woman’s remarkable crown with a shining star, and trimmed everything with Mucha’s zodiac signs on a deep burgundy background. The result is an opulent and elegant take on Mucha’s work, with a nod to the luxe bohemianism of the 1970’s.

“A dreamer is one who can only find her way by moonlight.”
- Oscar Wilde
“She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes”
- Lord Byron
“Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Dream Weaver — I believe you can get me through the night.”
- Gord Wright

How To Wear

The rich, autumnal colours and flowing silhouette makes this piece so much fun to layer! It works beautifully with warm tones, but don’t be afraid to mix it with other colours for an artistic vibe. Or keep things simple and layer it over neutral basics — we love it with a black linen tank & pants. Our favourite look for this one?  Pair it with leggings and a cropped knit tank, then add the matching scarf and some statement jewellery for a bohemian, 70’s inspired look :)

Alphonse Mucha, whose art is synonymous with Art Nouveau style, had a career filled with fascinating projects — and an unexpected journey to fame. In 1894, while working in Paris, Mucha happened to be in the right place at the right time when a rush order came in for a new poster for French actress Sarah Bernhardt’s new play “Gismonda”. The printer, who knew Mucha, turned to him in desperation to create the poster over the Christmas holidays. Mucha’s resulting design, with its graceful lines and innovative details, captivated the public — making him an overnight sensation. This chance opportunity also launched his relationship with Bernhardt, which led to many other such commissions. Beyond his famous posters, Mucha’s work was incredibly diverse. He created intricate jewelry, book illustrations and elaborate stage sets, and even designed stamps and bank notes over the course of his incredible artistic career.

The Poem

Her heart, a moon
behind her breast
caught in the branches
of her chest —
head full of night
a crown of sky
and hope enthroned
in her starry eye.
