“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath
are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15)

THE WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

Exploring the melting of borders between wolf and sheep.

Printed dress made of cotton panama, covered in hand stitched fur applications
sourced from a deconstructed early 1990s lambskin coat.

“The wolf in sheep’s clothing” is a conceptual character with various cultural backgrounds, from first mentions in the bible over 12th century Greek poems to fairytales like little red riding hood.
This look aims to explore that character, a borderless form, combining the wolf’s cunning personality and ambitions with the sheep’s (or grandmother’s) innocent and soft appearance.
