At London Fashion Week, Di Petsa left audiences mesmerized with her Spring/Summer 2025 collection, “My Body is a Labyrinth.”
Drawing inspiration from the Greek myth of Ariadne and the labyrinth, the collection dives deep into themes of human desire, vulnerability, and self-exploration.
The collection explores the emotional complexities of confronting our inner selves, symbolized by the Minotaur, a creature representing the untamed aspects of our psyche. Di Petsa masterfully integrates this mythology, using her designs to evoke introspection on our hidden emotions.
Visually, her signature draped silks and mesh fabrics flow with grace, reflecting the fluidity of human emotions. A standout motif was the use of period blood as a symbol of femininity and creation, challenging societal taboos around the female body. Pieces like the “Blood Masturbation Denim” trousers boldly reclaim female sensuality and strength, celebrating natural cycles.
Expanding into menswear and gender-fluid designs, Di Petsa continues to blur traditional boundaries in fashion. Her Wetlook pieces in pastel hues and soft cottons bring forth a sense of freedom and effortless grace.
With “My Body is a Labyrinth,” Di Petsa not only challenges norms but also invites us to navigate the complexities of our emotions, demonstrating how fashion can be a powerful medium for storytelling and self-discovery.
