The Mishka Fall/Winter 2014 lookbook is styled in the theme of tarot cards.
The collection, which has been designed around themes of decadence and death, signifies the riches of the mortal world with pieces made from luxurious leather and gold. However, there's a supernatural element to the collection as well; one which lauds metaphysical entities, creatures, mummies, death and war. In this collection, we see that death and decadence go hand in hand. At the very least, the aforementioned riches of the mortal world only serve to remind us of our impermanence.
The tarot encompasses both themes smoothly; as the website describes, "It's a game of divination, where fortune and demise lay behind every card. Pick your card, pick your outfit, choose your future."
