What a wild, wonderful, dark collection--dark literally and figuratively--Songzio (the South Korean brand started by Jay Song) showed at Paris Fashion Week. The Fall-Winter '25-'26 collection took the 17th century Spanish painter Diego Velazquez as inspiration. A model bore a resemblance to Velazquez thanks to a canny hairstyle, and graffitied versions of one of his most famous paintings "Portrait of Pope Innocent X" showed up on shirts. And the silhouettes and cuts were general interpretations of 17th century garments...

...but honestly, the Elizabethan ruff collar interpretation reads like the collar of a classic Count Dracula costume. The jodhpurs (and reverse jodhpurs with the balloon at the bottom), the sort of slouchy Tyrolean/Romanian hat, and the dark color palette with touches of hunter green and other hues lifted from paintings by Velazquez all make me think of vampires and vampire hunters.
