There are seasons in life when creation turns away from the noise of the outside world and begins to speak only to the heart that makes it. LA LUCE ETERNA was one such season for me. A capsule collection made not for sale, not for a show, not for an audience — but for myself.
It is twelve looks, each tailored exclusively for me, aligned with my body, my story, my astrological blueprint. These garments carry the elements and signs that have shaped me, the energies I live by. Every stitch is a conversation with my own hands, my own mind, my own history.
They are made to measure, slow fashion in its purest form:
-
Created from natural fabrics — mostly silk — chosen for their beauty, and closeness to nature.
-
Sewn locally, by artisans who are paid fairly and work in dignified conditions.
-
Designed without overproduction, without leftover waste, without excess inventory.
-
Made without polluting the Earth, without exploiting hands, without taking more than is given.
These pieces cannot be bought.
Not because they are too precious to share — but because they were never meant to be part of a cycle that strips meaning from clothing. Their value lies in their why, not their price.
Why slow fashion? Why not more?
Fashion, as we have known it for decades, runs too fast. Too many garments, too cheaply made, too quickly discarded. We live in a world where dresses are worn once and forgotten, where beauty has been replaced by speed, where hands that sew are often invisible — and too often, exploited.
We do not need more clothes.
We need more meaning in the ones we choose.
A dress made with care, from quality fabrics, by fairly paid human hands, holds a weight and a presence that fast fashion never can. It does not just dress you — it stays with you.
Slow fashion is not a trend — it’s a responsibility.
It is a choice to protect the Earth from unnecessary waste.
It is a choice to respect the dignity of the people who make our clothes.
It is a choice to own less, but better.
A question for you
The next time you see a dress — whether it’s mine or anyone else’s — I invite you to pause and ask yourself:
-
Do I need this? Or do I want it only because I see it?
-
Who made it? Where? Under what conditions?
-
What is the true cost of this garment — not in money, but in resources, in human lives, in the health of our planet?
-
Does this bring me joy that will last, or will it fade in a week?
If you decide you don’t need it, you have still gained something: the awareness that you have the power to choose. And that power is where change begins.
LA LUCE ETERNA is my offering to myself — but also a love letter to the kind of world I want to live in. A world where beauty is sacred, where the Earth is respected, where human hands are honored, and where a dress is never “just” a dress.
Because building a better world doesn’t begin with governments or industries.
It begins with us.
With the small choices we make every day.
With the question we ask ourselves before we buy the next thing:
Do I really need it?
love,
Laura
