INSPIRATION:The Dogma of Mary's conception without sin asserts that "from the moment of her conception, the Blessed Virgin was, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of Mankind, kept free from all stain of original sin."

INSPIRATION: In Latin, Madonna means Our Lady. But this title has many other connotations beyond its strict translation. We think of Mary primarily as mother - a mother oftentimes depicted tenderly cradling her infant son shrouded by a blue mantle. Deeply rooted in Catholic symbolism, the blue of Mary's cloak has been interpreted to represent her purity, her virginity, and her royalty. 

This collection pays tribute to that paradigmatic depiction of Madonna and child. It is timeless just as Mary transcends the ages, and the deep blue is emblematic of the riches that abound under the protection of our Mother's mantle.

INSPIRATION: The feast day for Our Lady of Perpetual Help is associated with a 15th-century Byzantine icon enshrined in a Catholic Church in Rome. 

The colors depicted in this collection were inspired by the deep, rich hues of green found in the centuries-old Marian icon. 

Our Lady of Perpetrual Help is the patroness of Haiti. The floral pattern in this collection, unlike our others, is more simplistic in style and hints at a resemblance of the Haitian Magnolia, a flower native to the country. 

INSPIRATION: Stella Maris means Star of the Sea in latin. This collection contains soft blues and greens reflective of the colors of the ocean. This title also perfectly captures Mary's role as our heavenly mother--she is the guiding star that can be found in the calm of the sea at night or amidst the tumultuous storm-tossed waves that try to divert our attention away from her son.

INSPIRATION: The feast day of Our Lady of Victory also called Our Lady of the Rosary, is celebrated on October 7th. This collection reflects the colors of Autumn - warm hues of green, gold, and orange. It also features a repeating Marigold pattern, a flower rich in symbolism for the Blessed Mother. The marigold, also nicknamed “Mary’s Gold" in the twelfth century, boasts gold petals that have been likened to rays of light crowning Mary’s head, and the prodigal color is related to the generous giving of herself to God's plan.
