Songzio presents its first co-ed collection during the 25 Spring Summer Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Songzio’s 25SS collection, ‘Bright Star’, 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
Songzio’s 25SS collection converges the romantic yet utilitarian post-war looks with the brand’s unique technical tailoring and oriental 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 25SS 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 collection is rendered sculptural in stillness yet fluid in motion.
