"Mother Earth is calling! Show whose team you're on in my gorgeous Lady Leaf collection, inspired by Indian goddess of flower power Lalita. I sculpted a supportive yet sensual design out of a soft, transparent jacquard fabric in a beautiful, marigold hue. Watch closely, and you'll see a raised pattern not unlike a sunflower heart. To let the straps speak for themselves, I had a 'Love Mother Earth' slogan woven into them. The delightful heart-and-leaf embellishments on the apexes are there to remind you: always follow your (green) heart!"

lady leaf - 'she who plays'

In ancient times, earth goddesses ruled the world. With the emergence of patriarchy around 1500 years ago however, they were dethroned in all but one place: India. In Hinduism, goddess energy, aka 'Shakti', is considered the foundation of life itself - the creative force that is responsible for the creation, nurturing and destruction of the universe. With a wild and heartfelt passion, this feminine life force has been worshipped throughout the ages in India in the shape of goddesses, as diverse and colorful as the real-life women who inspired them, from graceful Durga to fearsome Kali. Of all the Hindu goddesses who embody love, Lalita ('She who plays') may be my favorite. In a playful yet passionate way, she urges us to love: ourselves, each other and perhaps most importantly, the earth.

Born out of fire, Lalita is exquisitely sensuous, a beauty with thick flower-scented hair and golden-red skin. According to an ancient Sanskrit text*, her eyes look like 'fish playing in the lake of her face' while her ears have 'the sun and moon as studs'. I particularly like the description of Lalita's belly: it has 'three pretty folds' and 'wisps of beautiful hair'. Lalita is all about attraction; not just the kind that draws bees to flowers, but also the force that draws atoms together into molecules. A stunning manifestation of ancient Mother Earth energy.

STATEMENT STRAPS

The Lady Leaf collection is crafted from a stunning jacquard mesh fabric with a in-house designed pattern of tiny triangles. However, the real eye-catchers are the statement straps. Luxurious, gold-colored ornaments with a heart and leaves are hand-filled with enamel in beautiful blue and green colors. The gold-colored layer is applied by electro plating. In short this technique means to coat or “plate” a layer of metal onto the surface of another material. The ornaments shine on both sides of each bra, while a slightly darker shade of yellow is woven into the shoulder straps for a very important statement: Love Mother Earth. Wear this collection to pay hommage to the goddess of goddesses!
