A bird with an awe inspiring tail made up of thousands of feathers in which is hidden the image of an eye. In Slovenian tradition the peacock symoolizes eternal life and immortality.
As an symbol/emblem it appeared in embroideries and fabrics, from the skeleton of the feather, our ancestors wove beautiful patterns on their belts and the women also hung a feather off their belts, believing that this eye in the feather would protect them from evil.
The JKH authored prints intertwine the Slovenian flower “the carnation” together with the peacock form. The predominately spring summer pieces are an eclectic mix of modern, ethnic, boho and romantic. Mainly natural materials flow with ease in custom prints. This season, the JKH woman is fearless and all-powerful, wrapped in flowers and peacocks, queen of the magical garden.
