Save The Queen!

Spring – Summer Collection 2012

Know thyself.

This Greek motto, written on the temple of the Oracle of Delphi, is an exhortation to discover the truth within oneself rather than in the world of appearances. This is the reflection that has driven Save The Queen! to undertake the creative process of the Spring/Summer 2012 collection. A new emotional journey that brings us – through the designs of the proposed prints – to the rediscovery of Ancient Greece, seen as a magical space within which Save The Queen! allows us to move, making us aware of the fact that these stones, these temples, these vestiges make up that very scenario within which lived the people from whom our roots derive. The dream journey through the Greek landscapes takes place partly on the seat of a bicycle, so that we can better appreciate the air, the wind, the sun and the very perfumes that once wafted around even the great philosophers. We then continue the journey on foot, at a slow pace we walk amidst the columns and the capitals – Dorics, Ionics and Corinthians. We admire splendid mosaic floors, geometric motifs like the Greek key design, crosses, plaits and lozenges. We stroll amidst fragments from the tympana of the temples, amidst the bas-reliefs with carvings blanched by time, amidst the remains of the tiered steps of the theatres, and what visibly remains of the encircling walls of the ancient cities. We then continue our journey, admiring the mythological scenes shown in the frescoes; we recognise the legendary figures of our childhood as Hector and Andromache.

Day-dreaming, our thoughts fly freely to the nostalgic inspiration that must have driven the brothers Alberto Savinio and Giorgio De Chirico to paint the subjects of Ancient Greece. In a famous painting De Chirico too portrayed the love between the Trojan hero Hector and his wife Andromache. The inspiration of the Greek world, and above all of a mythology of metaphysical features, was to be increasingly present in the artistic production of De Chirico who, in this way, retrieved one of the most crucial aspects of his own past: his childhood spent in Greece. We pull ourselves together after so much emotion, like Savinio’s Man, solidly rooted to the ground through the support of massive Greek columns in place of his legs, and we continue our journey by getting back on the bike again, the circular wheels of which perfectly symbolise the eternal recurrence of things: the circle as perfection of the finite and the infinite. For the Ancients, who had a circular conception of time, the world was eternal.

We descend towards deep bays with beaches of the whitest sand, and then ascend again, pedalling towards green hills, skirting great reaches of olive groves glittering in the wind beneath the blinding sun. We rest in the shade of a large oak tree; a gentle breeze stirs the leaves and we listen to the delicate rustle just as the ancient Greeks did, watched over and protected by Zeus, father of the Gods.

Save The Queen! gathers the richness of the mythological meanings and the scenarios of ancient Greece, taking over its colours (which are never strident or primary, but artfully blended in elegant nuances of green, white, bright blue, ochre and red), interpreting its forms and redesigning the details in the new prints proposed for next Summer. It gives the form of a garment to the consecration of a new dream.
