“Euphoria is a tale of seduction, joy, and freedom.”
Arturo Obegero dreamed of his favourite performance artists, departed German Tanztheater pioneer Pina Bausch and Spanish Flamenco icon Antonio Gades. An imaginary rendezvous that the young Spanish designer orchestrated for his spring summer 2022 collection.
“I grew up admiring Pina Bausch and Antonio Gades. Their rigour, artistry, and sensuality have always inspired me, and I wish they will meet in another life.
”In times of crisis, human beings exhibit resilience and always manage to swim back up to the surface.
Obegero, who launched his eponymous brand in April of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on the world, sought to find the light at the end of the tunnel. In that regard, EUPHORIA is an expression of the designer’s hopes for the future. It is a celebration of life.
“After the pandemic, I want people to feel empowered and free. I want everyone to party with their family, friends, and lovers. Euphoria is about togetherness and happiness.”
EUPHORIA transports you from day to night, from the office to the soirée.
The Dandy triumvirate, in oxblood, is composed of a floor-sweeping robe, interior belted trousers, and boxer shorts.
Obegero’s appreciation of tailoring is once more exalted and reaches its peak in the form of the Don
Juan 100% virgin wool three-piece pinstripe suit.
The black Querelle waistcoats, whether in technical jersey or sequins, exude the sort of classic elegance for which the designer is known. The style’s deep, round neckline oozes sensuality.
The scarlet and black Principe top, a hybrid of a waistcoat and a Grecian-inspired drape, is a perfect representative of the brand’s sartorial ethos. Structure and fluidity. Masculine and feminine. Day and night.
The Christian jacket, in black crepe, is a weapon of mass seduction. It suggests the act of undressing oneself, revealing enough skin to entice while remaining appropriate.
