Following the release of her second studio album, Claimed by the world’s stages and earning the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album, Nathy Peluso surged into the spotlight as a striking cultural icon for the autumn-winter 2022-2023 season. The images that accompany this moment capture more than style; they reflect a confident, transformative identity that resonates across fashion and music audiences in North America and beyond.
In the visual narrative crafted by renowned photographer Txema Yeste, Peluso radiates a magnetic presence. A teaser directed by Pau López (Manson) shows the artist moving with a signature energy, wearing a distinctive collared jumpsuit that punctuates the collection with an air of fearless individuality. The imagery marks a deliberate departure from bright color blocks to a disciplined black-and-white palette, a choice that underscores form, texture, and silhouette as much as hue. The aesthetic signals a bold clarity: in fashion, high-contrast mono tones can speak louder than saturated color when intention runs deep.
Desigual now aligns with this declarative stance, drawing a line in the sand as a pioneer of color and pattern. Yet for this collaboration, the brand chooses to champion restraint, letting structure, fit, and fabric speak for themselves. The result is a striking tension between brand identity and Peluso’s kinetic stage presence, a partnership framed as a definitive reintroduction rather than a mere collection drop.
Unequal, the label founded in 1984 by Thomas Meyer, unveils a new chapter with Peluso front and center. The forthcoming range signals a shift that fans will notice this coming September, as the line blends rhythmic influences from Latin sounds and contemporary urban genres. Trap and electronic textures fuse with traditional streetwear sensibilities to create pieces that feel both current and timeless. The aim is to offer wearers an adaptable wardrobe that speaks to everyday life as well as performance moments, without sacrificing comfort or character.
Among the standout pieces are modern trucker jackets, versatile dresses, cozy sweatshirts, and sneakers that align with the label’s current focus on sustainable materials and responsible production. The collection leans into a specific mood: confident utility with a stylish edge. Each item is designed to be mixed and matched, encouraging wearers to compose outfits that are as expressive as Peluso’s own artistic output.
Patterns and textures play a pivotal role too. Expect reminders of 60s and 70s fashion through retro geometric prints and psychedelic motifs, complemented by vintage-inspired knits and carefully distressed finishes. Bleached denims, sleek tops, body-skimming dresses, and flared trousers form a spectrum that invites experimentation while staying anchored in wearable design. The overarching intent is to empower wearers to craft looks that transition from day to night with ease, echoing Peluso’s own stage versatility.
In this collection, nature isn’t just a backdrop; it’s an integral element of the design language. Bold floral motifs, camouflage prints, and stone-inspired textures breathe life into seasonal garments, creating a tactile story for each piece. The range is conceived as versatile enough to be layered with a simple knit for daily wear or styled up for more creative events. The result is a cohesive lineup that rewards thoughtful mixing and attentive pairing, inviting customers to curate outfits that reflect personal taste and seasonal mood.
