Reflecting this transformative evolution, the Fall/Winter 2023 collection draws inspiration from the iconic Power Dressing movement.

Originating in the vibrant 1980s, Power Dressing emerged as a response to the rising number of women in top-tier positions. It became a symbol of liberation, exuding authority, competence, daring, and self-assurance through clothing choices.
The collection pays homage to the striking V silhouette, characterized by dramatic shoulders and narrow waists, accompanied by captivating high heels. Drawing inspiration from the glamour of the 1940s and the sturdy elegance of military attire, it epitomizes a new feminine ideal.
Embracing the rebellious spirit, lingerie as outerwear challenges conventions, while the likes of leotards, leggings, and bodysuits make a splash on the streets.
Thierry Mugler, the visionary fashion designer, once stated, “In my work, I’ve always tried to make people look stronger than they really are.” Mugler’s creations introduced the world to the mesmerizing concept of the “glamazon,” serving as the ultimate muse for this trend. The exuberant glamazon fused self-assurance with humour and seduction, etching its mark in fashion history with figure-hugging silhouettes, avant-garde cuts, and innovative fabrics.
The essence of our “Metamorphoses” collection lies within this remarkable transformation of both the female body and society through the power of garments. It tells a powerful tale of female empowerment, inviting every woman to embrace her true potential.
Vibrant hues and playful layering dominate the colour palette, overturning traditional seductive codes. Sensuous shades dance alongside comfort, exuberance, and sensuality. Bold greens and ultraviolet tones intertwine seamlessly with the elegance of navy blue and anthracite. A touch of audacious red adds a rebellious edge, while plum, chocolate, and almond pink impart a delicate, sugar-coated finish. These intense hues come alive through refined textures and stunning reflections, igniting an unending spectacle of opulence.
