There’s a certain, quite delicious irony inherent in a candy pink suit. A subversion of power. The capacity for surprise.
“The collection explored masculine tailoring and feminine dresses. There was a push and pull between the two,” Moralıoğlu says of the range, which also includes pastel green and bubblegum pink double-breasted suits.
“I wanted to play with traditionally masculine shapes and silhouettes, combining them with delicate and feminine colourways,” he explains.
Moralıoğlu found the experience of working with Savile Row inspiring. “Savile Row has a very technical and beautiful approach to craftsmanship, entirely hand finished,” he says.
Re-reading The Well of Loneliness, which tells the story of Stephen Gordon, a woman living as a man, and her doomed relationship with Mary Llewellyn, Moralıoğlu was particularly struck by a chapter in which Stephen is fitted for a suit on Savile Row.
“Beyond a fitting, it felt like an awakening,” he says. “I wanted to explore this in the collection. Working with a Savile Row tailor, it felt interesting to fit the jackets on female models, making them more masculine in the process.”
