$140.00

A regal, resplendent celebration of the stories told in the stars, featuring the iconic 1896 Zodiac lithograph by Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha. Mucha’s beloved work features a majestic woman surrounded by the by the 12 zodiac signs and adorned in intricate celestial jewellery. We added a large star to her remarkable crown. The background comes from an incredible ink-on-silk scroll painting by Ueno Setsugaku, created in the 1860’s. We trimmed this design with Mucha’s zodiac signs on a deep burgundy background. The result is an opulent and elegant take on Mucha’s work, with a nod to the luxe bohemianism of the 1970’s. Includes removeable belt.

“A dreamer is one who can only find her way by moonlight.”
- Oscar Wilde “She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes”
- Lord Byron “Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Dream Weaver — I believe you can get me through the night.”
- Gord Wright

The Poem

Her heart, a moon
behind her breast
caught in the branches
of her chest —
head full of night
a crown of sky
and hope enthroned
in her starry eye.

More Inspo

Alphonse Mucha, whose art is synonymous with Art Nouveau style, had a career filled with fascinating projects — and an unexpected journey to fame. In 1894, while working in Paris, Mucha happened to be in the right place at the right time when a rush order came in for a new poster for French actress Sarah Bernhardt’s new play “Gismonda”. The printer, who knew Mucha, turned to him in desperation to create the poster over the Christmas holidays. Mucha’s resulting design, with its graceful lines and innovative details, captivated the public — making him an overnight sensation. This chance opportunity also launched his relationship with Bernhardt, which led to many other such commissions. Beyond his famous posters, Mucha’s work was incredibly diverse. He created intricate jewelry, book illustrations and elaborate stage sets, and even designed stamps and bank notes over the course of his incredible artistic career.
