Dialogue with heritage in Skarule’s latest collection

Fashion designer Sabīne Skarule continues a dialogue between Baltic cultural heritage and contemporary clothing design in the Skarule’s Autumn–Winter 2025 collection. The work is particularly inspired by Latvian traditions, beliefs, and superstitions, which, in the designer’s words, are «understood only by locals, without the need for explanation». The collection is defined by natural materials and a restrained colour palette, with a special emphasis on what she calls the «Riga Grey» tone.
