Excerpt: Cult Gaia - Resort 2025

 

"...And I feel Hekmat homage to the 70s and 80s epicurism which replaced the hippies of the 1960s, yet incorporated the liberating aspects of sexuality right into the 1980s, is measured to say the least.  Although prima facie in its exposé, one cannot deny via the Cult Gaia collections as a simmering desire to reinvigorate that Cold War carnal of 60 years ago.  It was sex and the threat of thermonuclear war, in all of its emanating glow.  Hekmat's Resort 2025 collection offers that paradoxical escape from our current tumultuous world. 

For Hekmat's latest array, she has evoked a plenty of those 70s vibes, with floral overlays, ornanmated stitchwork, and wide legged deniums.  With that Studio 54, Disco eros, high end bars, ala cocktail dresses, low cut backs, silk, satin, slips and mini skirts.  Also noted are the Cult Gaia accessories, seen as avant garde crafted fruit handbags and floral jewelry.     

I hope  Hekmat's hedonic 70s and 80s future that never was, actually becomes."
