01Poet

The Poet & The Artist

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

CUSTOM MADE FABRIC & CROCHET

The Poet wears a lush kimono in a custom textile, a medieval pattern revived and recolored by the Surrealium atelier. On his head, a hand knitted crochet hat made at Kastellet fortress, paired with the Florentine cross earring in antique silver. At his neck, baroque pearls with sea creatures and silver in our signature "Pink Templar" necklace.

02Harlequin

Dressed for the hours after dark.

JACQUARD KNIT, LEATHER AND GOLD

A Renaissance collar, cuffs and a handmade crochet cap. Gothic jacquard carries through the whole set. His loafers are Surrealium's signature high sole leather classics. The Renaissance rings close the look in 24k gold and hand painted enamel holding sapphire, peridot and moonstone, and red garnet.

This chapter imagines the night as a space for a different kind of presence. A portrait film and a close material study move between the complete silhouette and the quiet details that give it character.

03High Society

A new look.

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

Haute Couture and Baroque Jewelry

The muses arrive at the fortress in heavy pearl necklaces layered with antique detail, otherworldly gothic cross earrings, and grillz set with meteorite dust and pyrite. Among them the Pearl Dragon necklace, a signature of the house. Every piece of the couture is sewn by hand at the Surrealium atelier.

04Untamed

A study in protection and ease.

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

Medieval Luxury & Modern Appeal

A renaissance coat with full, gathered sleeves, worn over a high neck lace blouse hung with citrine and pearl. Ancient lion rings crowd the hand. Below, the signature merman cut trousers fall to leather loafers, and the modular skirt draws the whole into one composition.

The paired images bring the construction closer. One frame holds the whole look; the other follows the pleats and the shadows between them. Strength is expressed through shape and restraint, with nothing added merely for effect.

05Knights in Armor

A silhouette caught in transition.

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

CROCHET COIFS & HEAVY BRONZE

Crochet head pieces drawn from medieval armor, worked by hand and reborn soft. Below them, renaissance trench coats open into vast, opulent sleeves, and heavy bronze jewelry settles against the body.

This imagined film follows the change rather than a pose. Dust, wind and the fall of the cape become part of the composition, revealing a look whose character appears most clearly between one movement and the next.

07Gargoyle

The sea sets the rhythm.

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

gargoyles & pearls

The House presents unique state of the art jewelry with gargoyle creatures made from crystals and gemstones, holing a pearl in their claw, layered with our Xerxes chain. A red jaqcuard vest with our oversized cropped sleevless trench. Black Merman pants and our Galgata delite chains around the waist.

For this chapter, the camera would remain close to the pace of the coast. A slow approach, the sound of water, a turn toward the horizon. Metal and fabric take their colour from the light around them, becoming part of the landscape for a moment.

08Döden

A new look.

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

BLACK LACE & SILVER

The House presents a signature renaissance blouse in flowing lace, a crochet cap worked by hand, falling over Merman trousers cut to the body. Beneath, our signature Saltburn loafers. At the ear, a Kings Cross earring in silver, holding a single baroque pearl.

09Merman

A new look.

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

OTHERWORLDLY SEA CREATURES

The Merman trousers take their shape from sea creatures. Over them sits a jacquard knit vest, its front carrying an oversized embroidery of the Nordic eel serpent that marks the house. Gilgamesh and Galgata close the look, two heavy chains worn with signet rings and lion and eel earrings.

10Caspian

A new look.

The look continues here: an opening paragraph that carries the title card into the story.

KNITWEAR & HAUTE COUTURE

Sundrenched porcelain skin, a coral green jaqcuard knit with seacreatures evolving like branches harmonizing with teh layered bronze gemstone necklaces. At the center of the look, the gold Seafolk earring, and the sculpted and handpainted in enamel.
