Separation, Transformation and Return: The Hero's Journey
In The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Joseph Campbell explores the universal patterns at the heart of mythological storytelling. But the Hero's Journey it not just a litera...
In collaboration with world renowned artist Carlos Luna, the Empingated Midi Button-Up brings the powerful themes of life, death, and the human struggle for survival to life. The artwork on this garment is directly taken from Luna’s work Empingated, which depicts an anthropomorphic man in a jungle of life experiences, facing his own mortality. As death reaches out with an embrace, the man hides a knife, hoping to fight against the inevitable. The cyclical nature of life and death is symbolized by the phrases “La Vida” (Life) and “La Muerte” (Death). The design also includes the anglicized Cuban explicative “Pinga,” highlighting the intensity of this existential conflict. This piece is a striking reminder of our shared mortality and the complex forces at play in our lives.
Made from a Cotton Spandex blend, the Empingated Midi Button-Up offers a soft, comfortable feel with just the right amount of stretch for a flattering fit. The natural fibers provide breathability and durability, ensuring comfort throughout the day while retaining its shape and form.
The Empingated Midi Button-Up sits just at the natural waist, offering a flattering and slightly edgy silhouette. Its midi length provides a modern, chic look while maintaining the timeless style of a classic button-up. This piece is perfect for adding an unexpected twist to any outfit, offering versatility and a bold statement all in one.
