Songzio Spring 2027
Songzio’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Impavide, is defined as an assertion of unflinching composure. The title refers to an interior ability to remain undaunted, with the collection translating this idea through characters who appear to have travelled through time—figures described as harbingers from the past arriving to portend an uncertain future.
The collection develops the dualities central to Songzio: tradition and innovation, structure and fluidity, protection and freedom. Asymmetric, sculptural draping is offset by armour-like layers that envelop the body. Tailored pieces are twisted and rotated to create movement and volume, while deep slit necklines, cascading panels and bias-cut constructions disrupt conventional garment structure.
Body-contoured pleats and multi-layered constructions build stronger silhouettes. The Git, a removable collar element derived from the Hanbok, is reinterpreted, while protrusions at the back of jackets reference distortion as a form of beauty.
The starting point of the collection was a specific shade of green between khaki and sage, imagined by Jay Song on a young soldier travelling from the past to warn about an ominous future. This shade, alongside citron, berry and ink, expands the brand’s usual black-and-white base.
A recurring focus throughout the collection is the tension between structure and softness. Bias-cut panels, asymmetric draped skirts and layered trousers are shown alongside body-hugging pleats, overlapping jacket fronts and tailoring inspired by the Hanbok. Song described the approach as a contrast between structure and fluidity, achieved through natural fabrics and asymmetrical drapes.
Silhouettes expand into shell and cocoon forms, with raglan-dolman constructions allowing garments to swell and recede around the body. Cropped proportions are contrasted with elongated skirts and expanded lower volumes. Fabric contrasts include habotai silk, wool linen and organza set against metallic surfaces, tweed, vinyl and crushed leather. Hand-frayed edges and distressed seams reinforce the idea of garments that have travelled through time.
The palette moves between black and ivory, with accents of sage, citron, berry and ink.
Accessories extend the sculptural language of the collection. Scarf ties and ribbon-threaded neckline details introduce softer elements, while asymmetrically cut derby shoes with oversized soles and cutout boot sandals in patinated leather emphasise movement and grounding.
The Spring 2027 collection at the Palais de Tokyo also signals an expansion into womenswear, which accounts for roughly half of the runway. Song noted that women offer greater freedom in silhouette exploration, describing them as more adventurous in how they approach proportion and form, allowing the brand to push pattern and body transformation further.
