Khanijo – Into the Labyrinth
“To-morrow—what? And what of yesterday?
Through soundless labyrinths of dream you pass,
Through many doors to the one door of all.
Soon as it’s opened we shall hear a music:
Or see a skeleton fall . . .”
The Greek artificer Daedalus’s labyrinth, the first of its kind was a symbol of confusion and disorientation, something that confounds the effort to escape. But a maze is also a course to a point of disembarkation, a door to probable prospect also outlining the significance and meaning of an image or object as a matter of perception and perspective.
This collection tells its tale from the stale. Built with fabrics from our dead stock artfully assembled in a juxtaposition of patterns, materials, colours and textures that talk in a globally engaging dialect. The collection features achromatic colour blocking, intelligent texture blocking and novel shapes derived from the idea of illusion, curated together into an immersive experience, parading further deep into the labyrinth.
