DI PETSA AW26 Medusa's Lover Runway

At Bacchanalia, inside the mythical Apollo’s Muse Room surrounded by monumental sculptures, DI PETSA unveil's the AW26 collection “Medusa’s Lover” — a meditation on power, eroticism, and rebirth. This season draws from the myth of Medusa — a woman turned into a monster, who transformed her curse into power - the serpent as symbol, and the strength of a woman whose gaze could crystallise the world she gazed upon. AW26 marks a renewal - the women feel dangerous, a modern femme fatale negotiating her own power, like the possibility of change luring you in, our desire to reach a higher self is seductive but we resist it. Our self actualisation is an erotic process, a snake slowly slipping out of its old skin. With special thanks to The British Fashion Council & Sarah Mower.
