Inspired by light. By hope. By iridescence. Born of sadness and dispelling the gloom. Celestial bodies shining through the black, guiding us home.

“Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known? Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go… Let it go…” - Linkin Park

The Luminaries cowl is worked from the bottom-up. An organically flowing lace pattern accented by optional beads mimic fractals - like frost flowers on windows or branches kissed by dew.
