Awakened from a post-modern fantasy, this combination of sensual misunderstood girls standing before us dwells in a limbo-era of feminism and romanticism. Talitha Bell, the visionary behind Ankha Clothing, has created a dream that drowns her apparel in an intense dynamism, a driven sexuality and a nostalgic ammunition of a life once lived. With velvet and lace adorned in the detailing, each item is a gift that appears to enhance and accentuate the bends of a woman’s outline. This collection shows us you can be dark without being melancholic and dreamy without being generic. Fluffed up or skin tight, owning any one of these looks entails losing focus of being body shy. This world she has fashioned keeps the mind off its leash, letting the wild run loose with rousing garments of bizarre purple manes and shabby undercuts of textured fluff to sit softly on ladies shoulders.
In this depiction of reality, a rose can kiss or kill you, each breathing a narrative to wearing the vision. With a bout of melodrama and mystery in each design, the only spell the garments possess is how beautiful you will feel. When the film The Craft was released in the 90’s, it made woman feel like an outsider. Nowadays these are the clothes to make you stand out. From not belonging to ideally wanting to be, Ankha will rise, and her followers streaming right behind her.
