A small but rapidly expanding brand, Lorenzo Seghezzi and their small team imagined an impactful collection entitled “Interlude”, highlighting the craters and mountains of life that night can bring to the surface.
A humble and reflective creator, Seghezzi thinks toward their formative years as a queer person in Milanese night clubs and refers to them as not only spaces to be a part of, but as “life schools”. Referencing their newest collection, Seghezzi articulates that not only are these places a space to live and reveal a side of yourself the day might not accept, but they were a place of connection and honest showcase of those who feel the stipulation of what freedom may bring through, “addiction, performance anxiety, the constant pressure to appear and perform, even when feeling fragile, lost, or broken inside”.
In “Interlude”, every look is a walking contradiction. Seghezzi takes inspiration from these nightlife performances like drag and burlesque and dowses them in his concept of the duplicity of night and day, and in turn triumph and strain. Each feather, structure, and accessory asks the viewer to think of the full picture when feeling juxtaposing emotions of life, particularly from the perspective of being queer, instead of seeing things from a solely positive or negative point of view.
Seghezzi and their team are relatively new to the industry, but have expanded rapidly since their debut in 2020, and each of their achievements has been a leap and bound from each previous one. Impressively, Seghezzi taught themselves corsetry during the COVID pandemic, and now runs their brand with a poignant focus on the highlighted connotation corsetry suggests. Emphasized in their brand philosophy web page, Seghezzi claims that through their creative ideology, “Corsets are conceived not as garments of restriction, but as symbols of freedom and empowerment, designed to help you feel fully in control of your body.
An intelligent pairing, Seghezzi places into proximity the lowest blows and highest successes that every person feels throughout life- ultimately piquing curiosity at what may happen if people bring the vivacity of their nighttime personality into the hours that come after and guiding their wearers to support and liberation. – Alex Dmitruk
