callum When we very first satisfied Jason Salstein (formerly of hunting Season), we promptly sensed his aspiration as well as readiness to stand apart above the rest of the pack. A few days ago, Jason reached out to introduce his newest venture, namely his new line “Our Lord & Saviour“. This was just as well great to pass up.
The signature “Olympus Teneo” grasp for Fall/Winter 2010 is fabricated of high high quality exotic leathers in neutral tones. What definitely catches the eye is the popular detail of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on its front. The python version retails for $3,265 as well as the crocodile retails for $8,695.
Jesus Christ, indeed!
It is not uncommon for designers to integrate subtle references to religious signs into their collections. However, this is the very first time for PurseBlog to encounter a full-on crucifixion so prominently on a bag. Needless to say, this grasp will part reactions like Moses was told to part the Red Sea according to the biblical account.
When asked about including the cross in his style esthetic, as well as the possible debate over it, Jason responded:
I wished to produce a brand that already had a tradition as well as a history developed in. I wished to restore emotion as well as couture high qualities in the purse market. whatever is handcrafted with Our Lord & Saviour.
The crucifix was not for shock value at all, however rather an introduction of the sacred Gothic aesthetic I want to convey. It just occurs to be the subject that receives a great deal of interest as well as moves me the most as well as others as well. I am sure that Catholics are not the only individuals that venture to Italy as well as see the Sistine chapel or Vatican. people ooh as well as awe at the paintings, frescoes, Michelangelo’s marble Madonna etc.
I look at the grasp as a true work of art, every detail has been believed out from the inscription on the scroll, to the crown of thorns, as well as nails in the hands as well as feet. I want to produce bags that have the exact same impact as true masters!
Some consumers will adore it, some will dislike it. Some may phone call it blasphemous. It is definitely a strong relocation to introduce a extremely religiously-tainted fashion line.
For much more info, see Our Lord & Saviour online. We will make sure to update our visitors with Jason’s new styles in the future.
