PRESS RELEASE
Chapter II: Bite Me explored the mythology of vampires and the fictional worlds built around these mysterious immortal figures.
Moving away from the fragility and transparency of the previous collection, the new chapter embraced a darker and more substantial silhouette. Soft tailored jackets, dramatic outerwear and statement accessories created a sense of protective armour, as though the wearer were both hunter and hunted.
Each look was constructed through layers of carefully assembled details — hats, headscarves, cuffs, lace trims, gathered elements, belts and jewellery — creating a rich visual language that balanced theatricality with elegance. Despite their complexity, the silhouettes remained harmonious, revealing Alexander Bel’s growing interest in storytelling through texture, craftsmanship and transformation.
Chapter II: Bite Me transformed romantic gothic references into contemporary upcycled fashion, where darkness became a vehicle for beauty, identity and self-expression.
