Labour of Love Opera Duster Kimono Robe w/ florals & violin

Like many of you in our stargazer community, we have struggled with the increasing presence of AI art in our world, and found ourselves overwhelmed and downhearted to see some how quickly some brands and companies have embraced this wave of artifice. To us, it makes no sense at all — why would we ever give away the best of who we are? Labour of Love is our answer to this. It’s a heartfelt reaction against AI art, and our joyful celebration of the arts in all their marvellous and imperfect beauty. Music, literature, painting, cooking, crafting, creating — are represented here in a glorious collage of art from the past four centuries. The open book at the bottom of our design reads: anima in opere, which translates from latin as the soul in the work, or the work of the soul. The trim is a stunning and resonant quote from Rumi: “Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth.” This is our way: to support and celebrate real artists, and make a promise to you that we will never use AI art in our pieces at Market of Stars. The beauty of what we love… will always be what we do. Includes removable belt. 100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as wood and bamboo). Approximate measurements: length 118cm, width 78 cm.
