“SATURN RETURNS”

“As I walked through the city, attempting to navigate the ups and downs of my Saturn Cycle, I couldn’t help but wonder… what this cosmic rite of passage had in store for me... What do I want to be?  What do I want in life?”

Bewitched by the Saturn Return, Ryan LO’s lovestruck heroine is flurrying about in occasionwear, waiting for a White Knight Prince to charge his way into her heart.  There are gallery openings to attend, cocktails to consume, soirees to swan around at, and dates to dart away from, or dive into.  

“I’m someone who is looking for love.  Real love.  Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love.”

Her sleeves are puffed, ready to take on the town. Her buttons are covered and prim, forming a proper perpendicular line down the front.  Her feathers don’t ever ruffle in the face of calamity.  Her frills and thrills unashamedly flutter about.  

Florals?  For spring?  Groundbreaking, as they blossom into water colour prints, jacquards and oversized crochet, accompanied by ostrich frond skirts.  They bloom into pumpkin-shaped bags carrying her hopes and dreams.

Fairy god mothering herself, she wears Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather’s witchy hats, and tall tulle beehives, created once again with Stephen Jones and rides Kiki’s Delivery Service broomsticks.  She’s a taskmaster of the skies, ready to go forth and find what she’s looking for.
