Pre-Fall 25 Collection: ‘Anchoring Away’
In ‘Anchoring Away’, Laurencia Irena channels the daydreams of sailors gazing at the open sky, crafting a collection that reimagines the structured elegance of Taisho-era (1912–1926) fashion through a modern maritime lens. The black, navy, and white palette and bold proportions—oversized collars, draped blazers, and pleated skirts—create a fluid interplay between masculine and feminine forms.
