From the other side
By Pushkala Pillutla
As the smoke clears off, tiny little white wings fly high to explore the world from the other side. There, just past the secret door, lies a world full of dragons, fairies, mermaids, and sirens, and not to forget vampires and werewolves. Just enough to form a new universe full of unseen and unheard mysteries cloaked under an enchanting mythical mask. Passing by the tangled branches, above the sacred roots, making friends with the beetles and spiders. All set together in search of the ultimate treasure. It’s a never-ending story of how the mythical world is fascinating. Taking inspiration from here, Alexander McQueen’s new gifting collection is explored in a film set within a mythical world. A collaboration with the Isabel Garret at the sarabande foundation being launched on 25th Oct. Read more about it here in From the other side
