The Collaboration Ethos



For this collaboration with Dust of Gods, Samuel was instantly drawn to one of histories most famous female monsters, a formidable creature with snakes for hair. Through tragedy and hardship the Medusa rose to become a powerful dangerous beauty and this story really inspired him to bring her to life through this collection. Using a combination of leather paint, ink and acrylic pens he worked directly onto the Dust of Gods leather pieces, creating three unique garments. The pieces are full of hand drawn detailing, building up the complicated design through intricate cross hatching of many tiny lines. Taking inspiration from Ancient Greek statues and the depiction of drapery within them, he combines his love for fabric compositions with new swirling serpent shapes that come alive with movement as the piece is being worn, giving a fluidity to a character famous for turning men to stone.
