Cherry Massia’s ‘Eros and Psyche’ bursts onto the Catalonian catwalk

Cherry Massia has burst onto the Catalan fashion scene with her first collection at 080 Barcelona, captivating everyone with her new proposal entitled ‘Eros and Psyche’. The designer’s new installment not only exudes elegance and style, but also invites a deep reflection on the soul and love, suggesting that the source of the latter does not reside outside of us, but in our own being.

Inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Psyche, the designer immerses us in a journey towards the fusion of soul and love. Here, Psyche becomes a central figure, a heroine who embarks on her own hero’s journey. As she evolves, the collection explores crucial concepts such as femininity, descent into the underworld and spiritual connection.

Cherry Massia challenges convention by viewing Psyche as a heroine in her own right, where the power to create her own destiny is rooted more in a process of inner conquest than external battle. This approach revolutionizes the traditional notion of heroic roles, allowing for a metaphorical progression of the soul’s struggle in its quest for self-love and appreciation for life.

The color palette chosen – cherry red, black, off-white and silver gray – evokes a range of emotions and meanings, from love and sacrifice to the power of creation and destruction, serenity, passion and harmony between the psychic and the material.

The collection stands out for its ability to fuse the structured with the fluid. Elements inspired by corsetry are reinvented with a functional aesthetic, while cut out details create organic shapes and gathers that adapt to the body, resulting in a silhouette that radiates power, sensuality and ethereal grace.

The collaboration with Menbur footwear and Julieta Álvarez Ceramics jewelry adds a final touch of perfection to this already stunning collection. Cherry Massia has once again demonstrated her mastery, inviting us to reflect on the very essence of love and the soul through her creations in ‘Eros and Psyche’.
