Lydia Courteille - Queen of Sheba

January 2016


For her newest collection, Lydia Courteille invites you to travel to the cradle of Mankind, the mythic country where the Queen of Sheba once reigned - Ethiopia.

The Queen of Sheba was seen as a « Divine creature », an alluring sorceress of great intelligence and wisdom. She is the symbol of this collection, taking you to the crossroads of religious influences, where Biblical, Hebraic and Quranic stories have nourished Ethiopian popular art, which took much of its inspiration from animistic and magical beliefs.

Lydia Courteille pays tribute to Ethiopia and its cultural and geographical diversity through her new collection, Queen of Sheba.
