At No Sesso, Pia Davis and Autumn Randolph were feeling scandalous. The CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalists left little to the imagination yesterday proposing a new kind of sex-appeal for SS23. Taking a provocative approach to dressing, the collection was conceptualised for a “sexy summer”, according to the pair – though a darker mood than ever before prevailed. Painted with maroon hues, ambers, blacks and caramels, cycling shorts sat under G-strings, skin-tight mid-riff tops were paired with spiky rottweiler-like chokers and structured pieces boasted backless, butt-less treatments. Elsewhere, ruched nylon pants with asymmetric pockets felt contemporarily cool and an ebony dress had delicate knife pleats crawling up one thigh for a seductive touch. Permeated by utilitarian details, a wealth of cargo pockets and layered drawstrings were married to tough denim trousers in a collaboration with Levis.
