LVF LVX presents Tapes in Drag: Poetry & Remorse, a poetic memoir that delves into our hearts & psyches, unravelling hidden fears and sacred vulnerability in love and loss– drawing from the ethereal to transcend suffering to beauty.
LVF.LVX is an enigmatic writer and artist with a deep love for the esoteric. As a brand and alter-ego, she is an obscurity, contradiction, and whatever you want her to be. She writes to transcend her sorrows, drawing from the ethereal for inspiration. When she’s not writing, she enjoys dance, avant-garde art, and nature walks. With a degree in philosophy, her writing reflects a profound exploration of the human condition and a relentless quest for truth— love being her greatest motivator. She invites you to join her on a series of initiations unveiling her truth, one poem at a time.

In contrast to the fleeting nature of fast fashion, tailored clothing offers a sustainable and enduring alternative. Every piece is designed with longevity in mind, from the choice of fabric to the construction techniques used. Increasingly, brands such as Herbs, are selecting sustainable, high-quality materials like organic wool, linen, and cotton, which not only minimise environmental impact but also enhance the garment’s durability.
By investing in carefully tailored clothing made from sustainable materials, one embraces a timeless style while also supporting a more ethical and environmentally conscious approach to fashion.

One of the most expressive aspects of tailored clothing is the option for personalized embroidery. Once used to signify status or affiliation, embroidery today adds a layer of artistry and uniqueness to garments. From a subtle monogram to intricate patterns on a jacket’s lining, embroidery enhances the sophistication of a custom piece.
Herbs use the Cedar of Lebanon symbol as an embroidered motif on their clothing. The Cedar of Lebanon is a timeless symbol of immortality, resilience, and divine strength. Revered since antiquity, its broad branches and deep roots evoke a sense of protection and sacredness. In many traditions, it is seen as a bridge between heaven and earth, representing spiritual elevation and eternal life. Its wood, once used in ancient temples and palaces, reflects its enduring nature, of majesty, faith, and the enduring spirit of humanity.
