Designer Victor dE Souza's devotion to highly structured silhouettes and precision stitching began as a young man in Argentina, rifling through his grandmother's extravagant closet. His Fall 2024 collection 'Return to Gotham,' is a tribute to the past meeting the present, transforming his gothic-inspired silhouettes into modern, high-impact statement pieces with decadent detail. Gilded embroidery, gleaming gold metal flowers, ruffle-edged suits, and oversized bows that are a tribute to these lost histories and the fantasies that come with re-imagining them.

00:07 This is like something that I always love,
00:13 like the old fashion into the new,
00:15 a lot of Edwardians, dreams, that's the inspiration.
00:19 It's very feminine but at the same time,
00:22 I always say my lady's kind of intellectual
00:26 and I think that's what my silhouettes are.
00:28 It's a mix between soft and straight.
00:31 I always like silks because they're easy
00:34 to work with the iron, but I have a lot
00:37 of like lorikeets like this one, some shapes there.
00:42 I wanna make women's beautiful, and men's too, why not?
00:45 I'm obsessed with no eyebrows but I always feel like,
00:48 what is the point to do a normal makeup, no?
00:51 Like, let's play around, yes,
00:53 and the makeup is like a doll.
00:58 The hair should be like super kind of sleek,
01:01 kind of very today, but then the clothes
01:03 have like kind of this romance from the past and all that.
01:07 They have a lot of goth.
01:09 This season was goth, like old goth, or fanco.
01:12 It's one that surprised me, that Lua work
01:18 with the corset all in beige, that kind of like,
01:21 you know, wow, it's so simple but so regal and strong, yeah.
