Established in 2023 in London, ARAKHNE is presenting its first Synthesis - ‘Purgatorio: Canto XII” for SS22.
Drawing inspiration from a rich heritage of Greek storytellers, ARAKHNE weaves tales of human connection and political identity through the lens of the queer experience.
Bringing together physical and digital craftsmanship, tactile materiality and quality of construction, the collection features tailoring reimagined and subverted for the modern identity. ARAKHNE aims to present a subversive image of the queer body that views intellectually and artistically codes of dressing and self-expression. With an interdisciplinary approach to design, each collection is a living myth, a story waiting to unfold.
