Songzio's first co-ed collection was presented in the centre
of Paris during Men's Fashionweek. The collection fuses
sharp technical tailoring with artistic touches, showcasing
a bold contrast of textures and themes. Having followed
Songzio for years and attended their shows over the past
seasons, we were especially pleased and impressed by the
womenswear this season. In the past, the brand occasionally
featured one or two female models in menswear looks, but
this time marks the debut of a full womenswear line,
seamlessly aligned with Songzio’s distinctive design
language.
We loved how the bold, oversized blazers were reimagined for
women, along with the shorts featuring unexpected cuts and
side cut-outs. Sheer blouses and tops appeared not only in
classic black but also in vibrant pinks and blues, adding a
playful contrast. And of course, the hats, an iconic Songzio
runway staple, were slightly smaller for the women, yet
perfectly in line with the men’s versions, giving each look
a distinct sense of personality and authenticity. Standout
looks included two striking co-ed outfits: blazers with
sleeve cut-outs paired with tailored shorts, finished with
signature hats, a perfect blend of edge and elegance.
Another highlight was a long, sleeveless top featuring the
'Bright Star'
motif in warm orange brown tones, styled with a flowing
cream maxi skirt and a simple neck scarf, creating a look
that was both bold and effortlessly refined. Special
mention goes to the light grey hooded ensemble, a standout
look that resembled a sleeveless denim like jacket, paired
with a long, wide-cut skirt made of layered strips. It
struck a perfect balance between deconstruction and
elegance, capturing Songzio's creative and avantgarde
spirit.
Collection notes:
Songzio presents its first co-ed collection during the Spring Summer '25 Paris
Mens Fashion Week. The 'Bright Star' collection, began from a series of
aquarelle portraits of youthful boys of limitless wonder and pure imagination.
Then, infusing a sense of hope and inspiration to this youth, we painted the
central artwork of the collection, the Bright Star Tetraptych, oil on canvas.
The paintings depict the North Star, the brightest star in the constellation,
also referred to as the constant star for its steadfastness and motionlessness
serving as a pole of guidance and inspiration towards the future.
The 'Bright Star' collection symbolizes Songzio's persistent concept of
dualism coexisting in order and disorder: symmetry and asymmetry, light and
darkness, curves and angles, visible yet invisible, rough yet delicate,
violent yet peaceful, complex yet quiet, sculptural yet fluid, classical yet
avant-garde. Songzio converges the romantic yet utilitarian post-war looks
with the brand's unique technical tailoring and mandarin modernism.
Dramatically rounded cocoon silhouettes, exaggerated volumes, and sculptural
draping instill a sense of sculptural order to the collection, while the
transformative layering, complex patchworks, and asymmetrical mobiles create a
sense of iconoclastic disorder to this romantic yet modernistic
collection.
The 'Bright Star' collection's central pieces are the asymmetric mobiles
whereby unique individual pieces of asymmetrically hand-cut mobiles are linked
and hung together to evoke sculptural beauty in stillness yet elegant fluidity
and youthful wonder in motion. Songzio's collection has a strong emphasis on
its signature black, hues of grey and navy with hints of youthful sky blue and
pink. Beyond the colors of the fabrics, the colorful aquarelles and oil
paintings printed on the fabrics and garments illuminate the collection. This
collection applies a contrasting use of fabrics to create a bold sculptural
silhouette with a sense of elegant fluidity. Using bonded wool and tweed,
metallic fabrics and synthetic leather with metallic lining, the dramatic
cocoon and voluminous bell shape of the garments become dramatically visible.
In contrast to such hard and textured fabrics, the collection is also full of
meticulous patchworks of light, transparent and fluid fabrics of silk,
organza, mesh, cotton, and linen. Through such versatile application of
fabrics, the Songzio Spring/Summer '25 collection is rendered sculptural in
stillness yet fluid in motion.
