A welcome surprise, the heritage house is a million miles away from the sweaty nightclub dancefloors of Berlin that birthed the duo’s own label,. “We saw it as a challenge of speaking to a broader and bigger audience … somebody described it to us as fashion’s last fallen angel,” Huseby tells AnOther. “There are very few untapped brands left that have this kind of history.
The fantasy the pair yearned for was manifested in silhouettes reminiscent of the Renaissance era – nipped waists with voluminous bustles under sleek dresses and armour-like shearling details. With a restrained, almost entirely black colour palette – so as not to distract from the careful cuts – the pièce de résistance was a dramatic medieval-meets-coat-gown on runway maven Debra Shaw, who closed the show.
The debut came at an undoubtedly solemn time, a shadow cast over the A/W22 shows with the ongoing war in Ukraine, leaving designers and attendees alike with an uncomfortable feeling. The news placed a magnifying lens over what the role of a fashion label should be in 2022. “It’s never been only about clothes for us, it has always been a tool to reach people and I think fashion has that ability in a comparable way to music,” muses Işık.
