“THE GOBLIN CUPID”, my latest collection of garments and accessories evolved from a textile research. Everything starts with my usual freudian cliché at 4AM. A nightmare, or a dream, is my medium to achieve elaborated acknowledge collected during day time. My augmented mind-cloud reality: - Researches of humans at the end of the story are translated in loops of late-Anthropocene clouds; - Forgotten ancient tailoring with gorp core fabrics; - Under pressure of “what is innovative” I see thousand doors and keys matching locks. Walking through wet woods. Filtered breath. “This is perfect for my hoard!” The Goblin Cupid is the main character of the dream. A composed title: the aesthetic of the goblin-core and the love of the Cupid. In this movement you usually collect: Keys, carillon, rocks, dead shrooms, shiny objects for your eyes. They celebrate aspects of nature that most individuals would find "ugly" or “dirty". Popular in the LGBTQ+ community, usually found on virtual refuge-spaces or collected and everyday updated in e-cloud-archives. The “NEW MUNDI RIFUGIO”: multiple fragments of personalities, creative refuges of new generations condemned to find a compromise to negative aspects of the “we live in a society.” What is a compromise? A solution that makes you half happy. My compromise to innovation is trying to be more ethical in the use of materials: up-cycled clothes, vintage sources, natural dyeing, tech deadstock fabrics or organic experiments.
