Aetheria was inspired by the rebellious spirit of designers like Margiela, Gaultier, Westwood, and McQueen – reimagined in a world without gravity, rules, or structure. The collection plays with sculptural silhouettes, weightless textures, and metallic tones that feel both otherworldly and beautiful. Each look is designed to feel like it’s caught mid-transformation, reflecting movement, tension, and the power of imperfection. It's a space where fashion meets fantasy and individuality can exist without limits
