An avant-garde dress that represents a society between uncertainty, fear, isolation, and aggression. A dress over multiple crises and the simultaneity of events. About escalation and division, the looming “Next-Big-Thing,” and the end of illusions.

Since at least 2020, we have been experiencing a profound transformation of our world, marked by uncertainty, fear, and anger. These collective emotions have become entrenched in our social life and manifest in many different ways. They lead to isolation and aggression, and at the same time, we are witnessing an escalation of tensions, culminating in divisions within our society. Our 2020 dress captures this complex and somber reality, standing as a symbol for the state of our society.

The challenges we have faced since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic are so numerous we could hardly list them all. The global health crisis has not only shaken our confidence in the stability and reliability of our lives but also exposed systemic weaknesses that had long been hidden. The health threat was accompanied by a profound economic downturn, leaving its mark in unemployment, financial insecurity, and an ever-widening gap between rich and poor.

In a society already groaning under the strain of social inequalities, these crises have exacerbated existing problems. Social tensions have increased, and the sense of solidarity that prevailed at the beginning of the pandemic has given way to an atmosphere of mistrust and hostility. Masks have become symbols of political allegiance.

But it is not only the immediate health and economic crises that challenge our resilience. Simultaneously, we are experiencing a climate crisis of unprecedented magnitude, whose devastating effects are becoming increasingly undeniable. Wildfires in California, floods in Europe, and heatwaves in Asia – natural disasters are piling up, and we are frozen in fear like a rabbit before a snake. The fear of the next natural event that could upheave our lives is pervasive.

The silence screams so loud

In addition to the visible catastrophes, there is a seemingly silent crisis that often only registers as a footnote in public discourse: the mental health crisis. Isolation, uncertainty, and the constant threat of new crises are taking their toll. Many people are increasingly exhausted and overwhelmed, with emotional and psychological wounds often remaining invisible. This isolation and sense of helplessness can spiral into an emotional vortex, leading to aggression and escalation. Around the world, we are witnessing a rise in violence, whether in the form of urban riots, domestic violence, political radicalization, or wars.

In an era so deeply marked by uncertainty and fear, traditional notions and illusions are also being questioned. The idea of continuous progress and growing prosperity is increasingly challenged. Trust in democratic institutions and the media, once pillars of our society, is eroding. Populism and extremism are gaining ground, and the chasm between different social groups is widening.

The thorn within us

These multiple crises, the simultaneous events that destabilize our stability over and over, challenge our endurance and adaptability. In the avant-garde dress, we have attempted to capture these realities with all their complex emotions and challenges. The dark material reveals the thorns embedded within us, the brokenness and fragmentation. We are chalk white.

These are our feelings that we express through the dress.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
