SøEdited Team: SøBeauty Director: Astrid Kearney SøFashion Director: Savannah Barthorpe SøCreative Director: Chris Saint Sims Arianna Antoniazzi’s collection "Strait" is a deeply personal exploration inspired by the concept of a straitjacket and her own claustrophobia. Evoking her childhood fear triggered by a crashing wave, the all-black collection uses diverse fabrics, textures, and techniques to convey sensations of wetness and choking. Geometric shapes symbolize confinement, while Elizabethan ruffles suggest gasping for air. Highlights include a corset resembling frozen water, crafted from epoxy resin and lightweight fabric, and a leather bodice molded to appear as if clinging to the skin.
Born in Rimini, Italy, Arianna nurtured her creativity at Liceo Artistico Alessandro Volta Federico Fellini in Riccione and the University of the Arts London (UAL), specializing in fashion pattern cutting. Her final project, “Strait,” showcased at UAL, merged technical precision with artistic expression.
Drawing Cabaret Couture (DCC Studios), a London-based production team, specializes in high-fashion films and editorials streamed from their East London studio, DCC Studios. They host weekly haute couture fashion illustration life drawing classes and fashion photography workshops, enriching their offerings with immersive art events.
Collaborating seamlessly with fellow creatives, Astrid Kearney Makeup Designer, created bespoke eye pieces from black feathers and timeless glass Swarovski crystals, complemented by a monochrome makeup and mouth accentuated with a bold black outline. Marie Sutter’s stunning photography captures the essence of the collection, set against Matthew Laurence sculptural backdrop, enhancing the narrative of confinement and artistic expression in Arianna’s work.
