DEATH IS AN UNAVOIDABLE THING IN A HUMAN’S LIFE. DEATH WILL INEVITABLY COME TO A HUMAN’S LIFE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR STATUS, TIME AND POWER. ESPECIALLY IN THIS PANDEMIC ERA, WHERE DEATH FEELS VERY CLOSE TO US AND THE MORTALITY RATE CONTINUES TO INCREASE EACH DAY. THERE WAS ALSO HIGH MORTALITY RATES IN THE VICTORIAN ERA, FOLLOWED BY CERTAIN MOURNING TRADITIONS. SELF-REFLECTION REGARDING HUMAN’S VIEW OF DEATH HAS INSPIRED THE CREATION OF MEMENTO. THE COLLECTION COMBINES MODERN STYLING AND THE STAGES OF MOURNING IN THE VICTORIAN ERA, AS WELL AS MODERN ADAPTATIONS OF THE VICTORIAN’S FASHION SILHOUETTES, COLOR COMPOSITION OF THE STAGES OF MOURNING AND MOURNING JEWELRIES. THE STAGES OF MOURNING ARE FIRST MOURNING, SECOND MOURNING AND HALF MOURNING. HOPEFULLY, THIS COLLECTION CAN BE A REMINDER OR 'MEMENTO' OF HOW PRECIOUS LIFE IS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF APPRECIATING THE MOURNING PERIOD.
