Detailed Description:

The Venus & Adonis Dress No.1 is a unique upcycled branded garment, hand-embroidered with original roses. Like all pieces from Telling Roses, it celebrates the symbolism and beauty of roses.

Symbolism & Inspiration:

The Venus & Adonis collection is inspired by the ancient Myth according to which Venus once loved the beautiful mortal Adonis, only to find him fatally wounded by a wild boar. His blood fell upon her sacred white roses, turning them red. In this myth the Red Roses embody the dual nature of love: bliss and loss, passion and pain. Telling Roses brings to life this universal story through the ancient art of hand-embroidery and with an original storytelling artwork.
