Sabina Savage

Fairytale Di Firenze

This collection brings its protagonists into a dreamlike Arcadia—a soft, pastoral utopia where everything feels suspended between reality and imagination. Each scene plays out like a still life frozen in time, a little shrine to nature’s fleeting beauty and the endless rhythms of the earth and sky. It’s a storybook world of mountains and castles, rivers and turrets, all washed in a hazy pastel light.

In Sabina’s spring chapter, Florence is preparing for a long-awaited celebration—the arrival of spring—where the landscape transforms into something almost heavenly, a kind of magic that appears just once a year.

Inspired by Italian Renaissance art and the era’s way of thinking, the collection explores the tension between idealism and naturalism. Like many Renaissance portraits, the scenes are layered with symbolism and fine detail, even down to hand-painted-style lettering that shares fictional notes about each protagonist and the “date” of their portrait. Throughout, subtle references to iconic Renaissance artworks are woven into every setting.
