Mars

Long dark blue draped cardigan. This cardigan is inspired by Mars his loyalty.

Mars is the Roman god of war and fertility. The Romans believed that Mars was the son of Jupiter, the most important Roman god. Often, prayers were directed to Mars. When wars waged, the Romans prayed for victory in battle. In times of poor harvests, farmers prayed for better crops. Mars had an enormous stature, a voice like thunder and was one of the fastest gods in the Greek mythology. The armour and weaponry of Mars consisted of a shield, harness, helmet and a spear. The shapes of his harness form the inspiration for this piece.
