Living in the contemporary world brings a constant feeling of uncanny, where the familiar becomes unfamiliar. For FW2022-23, Acephala grapples with the balance between escapism into magical realms and the restraints of strict practicality. Normcore was never really Acephala's thing, neither is creating clothes solely for an idea. Hence we've embraced the 'uncanny-core,' and drawing inspiration from Leonora Carrington's surreal art created something new, but at the same time not new at all. The collection features hyenas, ballroom-ready polar fleeces, and pillow coats.
