"In the Labyrinth you will not get lost, in the labyrinth you will find yourself" Kern Herman

At the dawn of my life, the labyrinth is my only way out. I dive into myself like an animal double-edged.

Absent,present, I fall into the waves of the uncertain me.

Here I am, I got lost in the waters of my life,immersed myself into thousand of layers.

I can feel, I can touch,I can break myself into pieces.All that is me, I am so many, and I am just one.

I am the entrance, I am the exit.I am alive.

M.R

The Cycle Cardigan signifies the labyrinth of our lives, the real place of self-confrontation where we turning around on our heels and retracing the same way to the exit.

Cycling in a dance movement, one goes in and one goes out without ever going astray. The garment embodies the pathway that takes you safely to the hidden hearth of yourself. Like in the gardens of labyrinths, the cardigan has four segments ending in a single center.

Based on geometrical forms and mixing techniques, past and present uniqueness are connected trough a blend of tradition and innovation. The experimental design results in a radical new language: the return to oneself.

It is a search for wholeness and for oneness. The shape is a holistic figure; it allows an individual to find oneself, to experience oneself as an entity. The garment is in itself an organic whole, a vita figure, which reaches down into deep layers of the soul.
