A collaborative exploration inspired by the art of fencing, an ancient dance of precision and control. This collection is born from a duel and elevated into an art form.
Fencing, a sport with roots in noble European tradition, blends elegance and discipline with precision and control. It is both aggressive and restrained: a balance that mirrors the dialogue between the two brands. It is a conversation between aggression and grace, rigidity and refinement, structure and movement.
The collection merges two worlds, each respective of SONGZIO and HELIOT EMIL: one built on poetic silhouettes, the other on engineered function. This collaboration explores the intersection between SONGZIO’s soft, expressive tailoring and HELIOT EMIL’s structured, industrial design, using fencing as the central narrative.
Sculptural layering, architectural cuts, elastic fastenings, and high-performance textiles mimic the evolution of fencing gear, from traditional gambeson and plated armor to today’s carbon-fiber suits and body cords.
Over centuries, the art of fencing has transformed its codes, its tools, its tempo. Yet the core remains: a tension between restraint and release. The fencing suit becomes a metaphor for a collection that honors this evolution, protective and sleek, it shields and reveals in sculptural posture and poised movement.
The blade is no longer just a weapon; it is a line, a gesture, a drawing in the air. A line between two worlds. A dynamic point of contact between SONGZIO and HELIOT EMIL.
