Nephilim is deeply rooted in ancient mythologies and speculative theories, particularly the Ancient Astronaut Theory, which suggests that early human civilizations were influenced by advanced extraterrestrial beings. This concept serves as the foundation for both the aesthetic and technical construction of the knitwear in the collection.
The designs explore the idea of transformation—drawing from the myth of shape-shifting deities and elongated, otherworldly figures. This translates into knitwear that experiments with fluidity, distortion, and structural manipulation. Extended silhouettes, intricate textural layering, and seamless construction techniques mirror the way ancient cultures may have misinterpreted alien technologies as divine craftsmanship.
Each piece tells a story, woven through intricate jacquard patterns, metallic thread work reminiscent of celestial armour, and ribbing techniques that create movement and adaptability—echoing the idea of beings shifting between realms. The collection’s knitwear is not just clothing; it is a modern mythology in itself, reinterpreting ancient narratives through material innovation and experimental form.
