In an era when fashion increasingly draws from the deep wells of contemporary art, the recent collaboration between French fashion house SANDRO and the Easton Foundation, which oversees the legacy of artist Louise Bourgeois, stands out for its poignancy and power. This partnership goes beyond aesthetic inspiration; it brings the raw emotional depth of one of the 20th century’s most celebrated artists into the realm of wearable expression.
Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) is best known for her psychologically charged sculptures, drawings, and installations. Her work explored themes of femininity, trauma, memory, and the subconscious—often using deeply personal symbols like spiders, hands, and abstracted body forms.
SANDRO, founded in Paris in 1984 by Evelyne Chetrite, is known for its refined yet subversive aesthetic. The brand has long balanced classic Parisian tailoring with youthful edge—making it an ideal partner for channeling Bourgeois’s complex world into contemporary fashion.
For this Spring-Summer 2025 season, Chetrite drew inspiration from Bourgeois’s iconic spirals, reinterpreting her textile approach through an exclusive capsule of fluid pieces with natural materials, echoing the artist’s signature works. With this collaboration, Sandro celebrates both its craftsmanship and its commitment to art and artists.
To celebrate the collection, SANDRO also commissioned renowned choreographer Fanny Sage to create a duet dance inspired by the collection, which was performed by dancers wearing apparel from the line at the collection’s launch dinner at the Hôtel du Couvent in Nice. Additionally Sandro unveiled a bespoke window design, showcased Bloomingdale’s New York, Mall of the Emirates Dubai, Réel Department Store Shanghai, and Galeries Lafayette Paris. At the iconic 11 windows of the Galeries Lafayette in Paris, the displays showcase dynamic, spatial variations of the artist’s spirals. Adding a physical layer of reinterpretation to the design, strategically-placed mirror installations reflect and refract the patterns into new kaleidoscopic formations.
In bridging art and fashion, the SANDRO x Louise Bourgeois collaboration speaks to a broader cultural appetite for meaning in what we wear. It offers more than a statement piece—it offers a statement of being.
