Motivated and fearless. That’s how Sonia Carrasco tackled her debut in Paris. “We can provide something different and make our mark,” said the designer. The move came as part of a deeper transition of the Spanish brand founded in 2019. With eco-consciousness at its core, mental health is the label’s next focus of awareness: “This collection wants to raise a critical voice on a situation which is real,” Carrasco said. “We think that part of the problem is due to the overexposure and the constant tension we are living with on social media.”
Illustrating that tension, sleeves are extra long, and there is a sense of chaos in the ropes cascading down some of the pieces, “as in those moments when you feel emotionally low,” she explained. Her knitwear, one of the keystones of the brand, is now linked to the idea of “neural tissue” and brain connections. It’s also the canvas where she experiments with her monogram, a ‘barraca,’ or typical Valencian cottage representing the origin, culture, and craftsmanship of the label.
The tailoring—another one of Carrasco’s trademarks—has been refreshed by means of deconstruction. Jackets are cut to expose their inner structure. Her go-to blazer is oversized and genderless, and they only grow from there.
“The most excesive is the one with the macramé at the back,” she said.
While Carrasco doesn’t like to define her brand as “sustainable,” her materials do indeed point in that direction. This season she used deadstock fabrics, including vegan suede, recycled cotton, and organic wool. “There’s no option B to make fashion in any other way,” she said. As for the collection’s earthy shades? Both Dune movies were present on her moodboard.
