In June 2024’s Paris Men’s Fashion Week, queer Designer Vincent Frédéric-Colombo of label C.R.E.O.L.E. presented his SS’25 collection. Utilitarian workwear with exaggerated oversized silhouettes, English embroidery, and references to the pan-African spirit through a queer lens, comprise the collection.
Discussing the SS’25 collection, Designer Vincent Frédéric-Colombo said the following:
“Resilience sometimes opens up paths, especially in the most chaotic moments. ‘MAGMA 76’ highlights a dark, little-known episode in the history of the Guadeloupe archipelago: the eruption of Soufrière in 1976. It was the endless theater of trauma from the eruption of Mount Pelée and debates of opinions between experts and politicians in the face of a worried and lost population.”
C.R.E.O.L.E. the brand is a manifesto about the ‘Creole’ community/diaspora heritage and what it could be in the future. The brand questions the status of the typical men wardrobe to unisex codes through delicate techniques and work wear silhouette. The designer, Vincent Frédéric-Colombo, was born 1990 in Paris, and raised in Guadeloupe.
