The new collection from SONGZIO and HELIOT EMIL is a collaborative exploration inspired by the art of fencing, an ancient dance of precision and control. Born from a duel, this collection elevates the intensity of the sport into a refined art form. Fencing, a noble European tradition, serves as the central narrative, blending elegance and discipline with aggression and restraint. This balance mirrors the compelling dialogue between the two brands.
The collection seamlessly merges two distinct worlds: SONGZIO’s foundation in poetic silhouettes and HELIOT EMIL’s focus on engineered function. This dynamic collaboration explores the intersection of SONGZIO’s soft, expressive tailoring and HELIOT EMIL’s structured, industrial design.
The garments themselves evolve with the sport’s history, featuring sculptural layering, architectural cuts, elastic fastenings, and high-performance textiles. These elements mimic the progression of fencing gear, from traditional gambeson armor to today’s sleek carbon-fiber suits. The fencing suit becomes a powerful metaphor, protective yet sleek, shielding and revealing in poised movement. The blade, no longer merely a weapon, is a line in the air, representing the dynamic point of contact between SONGZIO and HELIOT EMIL.
