British fashion designer S.S. DALEY presents his latest designs made for the Spring/Summer 2023 season with the Vita collection. It was shown during London Fashion Week and featured London dance school students that took attendees through a mystical performance.
It honored a new narrative that highlights colonial love letters that were shared between "19th-century author Vita Sackville-West and socialite Violet Trefusis." The show took place in London's St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel and the bells rang as the presentation began. The designs included looks such as dynamic tops, robes, and patchwork shirts that are made from tea towels to honor his artistic language, along with a selection of eyewear made with the help of Dan Levy's DL Eyewear.
