ANCIENT CHINESE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THINGS WORK – THE INSPIRATION BEHIND ERROS' CURRENT FULL LENGTH COLLECTI0N!!!


In East Asian thought, Encyclopedia Britannica elucidates YIN YANG or YING YANG (in Buddhism) - “ as the two complementary forces or principles that make up all aspects and phenomenon of life. Yin is earth, female, dark, passive, and absorbing; it is present in even numbers and in valleys and streams. Yang is heaven, male, light, active, and penetrating; it is present in odd numbers and mountains.” The yin yang symbol presents a more profound meaning. The outer circle is said to represent 'everything', while the black and white shapes within represent the interaction of two energies, which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white and they cannot exist without each other.

Intriguingly fascinated with the oriental way of life, singularly that of ancient Chinese Philosophy, Erros, admittedly liken the making of this neoteric ensemble to an incredible journey back in time. Back to when balance and harmony seemed to prevail unconditionally in most of man's thoughts and actions and in order to maintain order and harmony, discipline or following a particular code of conduct is strictly adhered to. Painstakingly made by hand, each entity he created, each material he emblazed on commands utmost discipline and relentless attention to every detail as what ancient silk weavers and pottery artisans unweariedly wrought to create a stunning masterpiece



N.B. due to exigent public demand, be advised to check this site for the exact playdates and show venues for this collection as they may vary to accommodate requests for Philippine Fashion Week, among others. Best Always...erros
