Makaria: The Serene Passage
In the ancient tales, Makaria is known as the goddess of a "blessed" death. She is not the darkness of demise but the light of peaceful transition, a spiritual guide to the Isles of the Blessed. Her name invokes a sense of serene finality, a fitting inspiration for a collection that embraces the end of one season and the birth of another.
Melinoe: The Whispering Shade
Melinoe, on the other hand, is a chthonic figure who traverses the boundaries of the underworld and the earth. She embodies the duality of existence—both the celestial and the infernal. As a goddess of ghosts and nightmares, she brings forth transformation and rebirth, representing the unseen forces that shape our perceptions and realities.
The Collection: A Narrative of Contrast and Harmony
The Makaria Melinoe collection weaves these stories into a narrative that plays with contrast—the ephemeral beauty of a blessed end and the enigmatic allure of the spirits between worlds. It's an exploration of duality, where an AI-powered toolset meets the fluidity of human creativity & design thinking.
