FAQ

What are the symbolic elements of the Eden editorial?

A serpent coiling around the neck and arm serves as the central motif, visualizing the boundary between temptation and innocence and expressing the tension before biting the forbidden fruit.

How are the garment patterns and textures structured?

Red-and-beige stripes, turquoise jacquard, and golden scale textures are layered to complete a visual woven densely like serpent scales.
