Ensayo 21 FW21 • Portugal Fashion 2020.

Arieiv x lo siento.™

Back in 2020, José Vieira (Fashion Designer and owner of ARIEIV), invited Francisco Pinto Oliveira e Joao Pereira (Founders of lo siento.) to create a collection in collaboration with ARIEIV for Portugal Fashion in 2020.

This collection was inspired in post death looks, regarding the 21 seconds that the brain is still "alive" after all organs in the human body shutdown. 

In this way, all the silhouttes were mainly with black fabrics and super dark tones, pulling the narrative of death and gore looks. In this collection and making the bridge between ARIEIV and lo siento, all the red tones are compared with blood and with the common ground of lo siento and this collection.

Red paint hands in the black fabric, japanese traditional core messages and super bold aesthetics were the common ground for this collection.
