From the early ages the different exoteric sides of religion have tried to brand our tendencies as either virtuous or indeed sinful. Although greater esoteric teachings explain that sins & virtues are merely a part of our human existence and that living and encountering these experiences is all part of our quest to balance our material and spiritual selves.
Therefore the embodiment of the ‘seven sins’ collection into
Zaeem Jamal is a little reminder that we can enjoy all aspects of life without fear for our body and soul, but as long as we are in control of and rule over all of these forces. The stunning collection is laden with soft silks, lustrous linens and jerseys that feel absolutely amazing on the body and are finished with a simply dazzling array of exciting embellishments that will most certainly arouse the pride from within the wearer and lust and envy from all others around them…and so the journey of the seven sins begins.

Invidia is the latin version of envy, which is most commonly defined as one’s desire for something that somebody else has, from everything such as material possessions to relationships and sometimes even emotions.
