Utopia festival fashion show – Dystopia & kink themed (2021)

One of the highlights of the Utopia music festival was the Dystopia/Utopia fashion show, led and curated by some of the most interesting fashion designers. With experimental and daring outfits encouraged, we’ll go over some of these strange, fascinating, and downright sexy outfits found on the models.

The fashion show was curated by the excellent Andrea Gallad and Christelle la Fosse. Most of these photos are credit to Christella and can be found at the post on her website of the Utopia fashion show.


Designer 1: Lego Sky

Affordable couture headwear made from upcycled/recycled materials, Lego Sky is a small and creative brand based out of Berlin. Unique handmade pieces which bring intense angles and futuristic aesthetics to the table, you’ll find nothing but the most unique pieces from this designer.

Certain accessories can be found at the Pornceptual webshop.


Designer 2: Perlensau

Creating Futuristic sustainable accessories from Berlin, the fashion accessories by Perlensau incorporates eye-catching lines with minimalist philosophies and ethical materials. Sexy, bold, and futuristic, there’s nothing by the brand which isn’t excellent – I was thrilled to be paired with the designer for one of the outfits.

PERLENSAU is a metaphor for the full spectrum of life, the sacred and the profine, ying and yang, trashy glam, trashy glam, to fully experience and express life’s every facet.

The Perlensau online shop can be found here and is based in Berlin.


Designer 3: House of Marmol

Exploring the relationship between elegance and provocation, House of Marmol creates accessories which combines simplicity with functionality. Sustainable, vegan, and made by hand – it was also a pleasure to model for the designer. Sexy, sustainable, practical, simplistic, and affordable are ethos under which the brand operates by.

Jon Marmol comes from the world of Interior Architecture and Sculpture and has developed his artistic projects in the field of jewelry design. Fascinated by the iconography of sexual fetishism, his works explore the relationship between elegance and provocation.

The House of Marmol online shop can be found here and in-person stores can be found in Berlin, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. Some pieces were also provided by RAMBONA.


Designer 4: MÁTHÉ

His goal is to connect performance art, fetish, and high fashion. With his desire to “question the terms of beauty, body, and aesthetics,” as a key motivation, Florian Máthé wished to convey vibrancy, simplicity, and emotions within the context of fashion. 

Combining traditional clothing techniques, such as shibori and tailoring, using latex as a medium of uniqueness and strength, his garments create a warrior-like expression, in order to take space, protect and express.

In person, these pieces are nothing but eye-catching by the way the materials refract light and move. Online store here.


Designer 5: Stories to wear

Berlin-based Stories to wear is a sustainable fashion brand that combines sustainability with extraordinary designs. Their usual accessories are dresses, robes, and kimonos, however they displayed their transparency lineup for the Utopia fashion show.
