SPRING / SUMMER 2025
PRESS RELEASE
Chapter IV: Outsiders Generation explores the beauty of those who exist beyond the centre — the artists, musicians, dreamers and outsiders who build their own communities and redefine the meaning of belonging.
Rooted in the spirit of grunge culture, bohemian freedom and youthful rebellion, the collection reflects the search for identity and the quiet strength found in standing apart. It is both a personal manifesto and another autobiographical chapter, inspired by the music and subcultures that shaped the designer's adolescence.
Constructed from natural deadstock fabrics and reinterpreted upcycled garments, each silhouette carries traces of a previous life, transforming discarded materials into contemporary forms. Relaxed tailoring, oversized proportions and hand-finished details merge with romantic sensibility, creating a wardrobe that celebrates imperfection, individuality and emotional memory.
Chapter IV: Outsiders Generation is not about isolation. It is about finding family in those who choose a different path and discovering that the ones standing in the shadows often carry the brightest light.
