Collection , inspired by Luis Bunuel 1964 masterpiece ” diary of a Chambermaid” made from upcycled tablecloths, vintage laces, handknitting.

In Buñuel’s film, the erotic appeal of the chambermaid arises from her constant presence combined with her inaccessibility and unattainability. She is consistently available but remains off-limits, embodying a paradox that appeals to the surrealist disposition. While the bourgeois characters, particularly the corrupt figures in Buñuel’s work, might pursue the hired help, this dynamic of frustrated desire creates a tension that can be as satisfying as the object of desire itself.
Celestine’s black and white uniform is not merely functionnal . When she sets out to investigate Joseph, her white cape and headband transform her into a nurse, acting as the avenger of the dead child. This uniform also establishes her as an object of (Fascist) fantasy. It is not only black, neat, and orderly but also signifies her role and position within the household, making her someone whom can be manipulated and, for Joseph, someone he feels compelled to obey and command.
