LOVE IS DEAD

CALAVERA has evolved from a passionate love affair with art, bright colours and tattoos. Nicola de Jager inverts classic heart iconography and uses it in her deliciously bright embroidered skull art works. Calavera is a novel Valentine's Day gift, and a great way to say: 'Until death us do part'.
