Dedicated to emerging designers and rising labels shaping the future of fashion, On Our Radar—Vanity Teen’s special Fall/Winter 2026 edition spotlighting Paris Fashion Week—continues its exploration of the new creative voices redefining the industry. The eighth collection featured in the series turns the spotlight on SAGIO and its latest proposal, “Remix: The 18th Century.”
For FW26, the brand dives into the psychology of split identity, exploring the tension between who we truly are and the versions of ourselves we perform for the outside world. In an era shaped by artificial intelligence, shifting political climates, and the constant exposure of social media, SAGIO proposes fashion as a conscious act of self-definition—a way to decide, day by day, which version of ourselves we choose to embody.
The collection draws inspiration from the emotional intensity and theatricality of the 18th-century French court, with figures like Marie Antoinette serving as cultural references. At court, fashion operated under constant scrutiny, becoming both spectacle and statement—an idea that resonates strongly with today’s hyper-visible society.
By reframing this historical tension through a contemporary lens, SAGIO suggests that identity is not fixed but fluid. In “Remix: The 18th Century,” fashion becomes a language of transformation, encouraging us to embrace our multiplicity rather than suppress it—dressing not only for the world around us, but for the many selves that live within us.
