SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

The skirt print depicts the Zatrikion (photo), an ancient board game found at the palace of Knossos. “Zatriazo” means to overmatch or conquer. The skirt’s gold-plated buckle is in the shape of a snake, while the gold thread on the silk scarf traces the path of the labyrinth. The Zatrikion is exhibited at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.
