Victor de Souza Spring Summer 25 collection, named “The Rabbit Hole of Style,” offers a thrilling exploration of fantasy and urban life. Presented at the Consulate General of Argentina in Manhattan, the runway show was a fusion of De Souza’s Argentinian roots and New York’s hard-edged energy. This season, the designer drew inspiration from the transition back into the workplace, creating pieces that combine whimsy with a bold sense of structure. The collection speaks to both the playful and serious sides of fashion, reflecting a world where fantasy and functionality coexist.
The show was a display of luxurious materials, from worsted wool to brocades and hand-painted silks. De Souza added a punk edge to these otherwise opulent fabrics, giving the collection a distinctive personality. The garments carried a dual nature—on one hand, elegant and detailed, on the other, fiercely urban and full of attitude. This duality, true to De Souza’s style, captures the modern New Yorker: dressed to impress but always ready to face the challenges of the city.
Sustainability remains central to De Souza’s designs. His background, the rich traditions of Buenos Aires, laid the groundwork for his approach to design. From an early age, he was drawn to the architectural shapes and luxurious textures of classic couture houses like Dior and Balenciaga. This influence is palpable in his work, in the respect for the materials he uses. Every garment reflects a thoughtful consideration of its environmental impact, promoting a vision of fashion that values longevity over disposability.
The collection also underscores De Souza’s ongoing exploration of structure. His garments often feature sharp lines and bold silhouettes that command attention. Yet, beneath this structure lies a sense of fluidity and ease—pieces that are wearable and functional without sacrificing style. It is this balance between rigidity and softness that makes his designs intriguing.
De Souza’s expertise in couture began at Argentina’s prestigious CETIC, where he received rigorous training that honed his skills in craftsmanship and design. This foundation, paired with his experiences in New York, has allowed him to create a brand that marries both technical skill and artistic vision. His work has captured the attention of major fashion icons such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
