SAGIO PRIMAVERA ESTATE 2025
A Celebration of Tension, Tailoring, and Timeless Charm: SAGIO’s Latest Collection
SAGIO’s newest collection delves into the contradictions that make us human, offering a dynamic tribute to the art of tailoring, a sense of daring eroticism, and the concept of cerebral seduction. For designer Alexander Sagio, femininity is not confined by strict gender binaries; rather, it is a fluid expression where masculine and feminine gracefully converge. This liberated approach to fashion is inspired by the raw spontaneity of nature itself, underscoring a vision of emancipation and authenticity.
Central to SAGIO’s creative board this season are two remarkable muses who capture very different yet equally captivating facets of femininity. The first is the legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren. Known for her voluptuous curves, fiery personality, and intrinsic self-assuredness, Loren represents an ideal that resonates deeply with Sagio—perhaps due in part to her similarity to his own mother. This influence is evident in the collection’s focus on brassieres and the décolletage: bare shoulders and a spotlight on the bust become defining elements, revealing SAGIO’s ongoing fascination with sensuality.
By contrast, the second figure that informs the collection is Loulou de la Falaise, the iconic muse to Yves Saint Laurent. Slender and androgynous, de la Falaise’s style is worlds away from Loren’s curvaceous allure. Despite these apparent differences, the two share a powerful trait: the demanding art of seduction. In many of SAGIO’s creations, these seemingly opposing embodiments of womanhood blend harmoniously through wit, confidence, and a light-hearted sense of play. The end result is a testament to the universal quality of charm, regardless of body type or aesthetic.
SAGIO’s approach to tailoring effortlessly balances precision and experimentation. Impeccably cut menswear-inspired pantsuits empower the wearer while revealing the designer’s technical expertise. Equally striking are the deconstructed garments that blur traditional boundaries like a buttoned-up cropped shirt morphing into a classic blazer, or a collarless double-breasted blazer with strong shoulders evolving into a graceful evening dress. These hybrid pieces challenge the distinctions between day and night, form and function.
Another signature of SAGIO’s style lies in his clever trompe-l’œil effects, featured on both dresses and separates. This playful approach injects humor into the collection, making each piece as joyful as it is sophisticated. Crafted primarily in linen, silk, and cotton, SAGIO’s designs strike a harmonious balance between edginess and refinement. His carefully curated color palette dominated by black, light blue, and white, with strategic touches of gray, aqua, and terracotta enhances the timeless yet forward-thinking nature of each garment.
In essence, SAGIO’s latest offering is an ode to the contradictions, complexities, and undeniable power of femininity. By merging strong, masculine tailoring with bold, liberating silhouettes and playful details, Alexander Sagio presents a season-defining collection that captures the magnetic allure of women who, like Sophia Loren and Loulou de la Falaise, possess an irresistible and multifaceted charm.
