Exploring the tensions and contradictions that define us all as human beings, SAGIO’s latest collection is a powerful tribute to tailoring, eroticism and audacity, as well as an engaging way to celebrate cerebral seduction.

On Sagio’s board of inspiration and chosen references this season, two figures stand out. The first is Italian actress and icon Sophia Loren,…

CHAPTER VIII – SS 25 – LE ROUGE ET LE NOIR The Sehnsucht Atelier Spring/Summer 2025 collection is inspired by Stendhal’s novel Le Rouge et Le Noir. As literature plays a key role in the creative process of building each chapter, recurrent aesthetics as the victorian, steampunk & dark romantic are now colliding with the 70s and its individuality. The 70s represent the years of female’s body liberation due to the growth of women’s rights; we have the flare, the high-waist, the androgynous glam rock & new wave, the maxi-gowns. The title is taken to refer to the tension between…

Initially conceived as a birthday gift for his mother, Brockless’ arrangement of “Da Sealkie Wife’s Sang” was part of a trio of pieces, including a…

Leaning into her punk sensibilities, the designer departs from the silhouettes and templates of late noughties and early 2000s teenage style, building a story whose main character is not so much the prom queen, but the prom anti-heroine. Harking back to a bygone era of house parties, Facebook albums and an altogether more tethered relationship with social media, the show unfolds in a school sports hall, an apt, otherwise conventional setting for the Gorey girl to kick out against…
