EGONLAB and the S4LEM collection: resistance and freedom

For Autumn-Winter 2025-26, EGONLAB unveils S4LEM, a bold collection that reinvents fashion as a political and aesthetic manifesto, exploring themes of witch hunts, inclusion and contemporary struggles.

Committed fashion inspired by Salem

S4LEM delves into the history of the Salem trials to create a parallel with modern mechanisms of exclusion. Through this collection, EGONLAB denounces social injustice and celebrates diversity. Echoes of the witch-hunts resonate with today’s struggles against intolerance, making this line a true statement of resistance and unity.

Aesthetics between mysticism and innovation

The collection blends bold shapes and innovative textures. Denim pants, worked to evoke melted wax, tell stories of resilience, while structured shoulders and raglan sleeves redefine the codes of tailoring. Details like dented buttons, inspired by lunar soil, and unexpectedly placed belts blur the boundaries between garment and accessory.

Mystical motifs, including witch flowers reinterpreted as leather bangs, adorn sculptural jackets and dresses, embodying the reconquest of freedom. Shades of brown, black, purple and blood red intertwine with shades of powder pink and light beige, illustrating a rebirth through violence and earth.

An immersive fashion show at the Institut du Monde Arabe

The S4LEM fashion show was held in this symbolic venue, where tradition and modernity intertwine, in the image of the collection. The music, conceived by EGONLAB MUSIC, blends crackling fire with the sounds of old radios, symbolizing a transition from chaos to hope.

Innovation in storytelling

EGONLAB integrates novel materials such as human hair into its accessories, reminding us that every garment carries a part of humanity and history. Beaded necklaces reinterpret mystical symbols, reinforcing the idea that fashion is an extension of identity.

A collaboration with Zadig&Voltaire

At the same time, EGONLAB has teamed up with Zadig&Voltaire for an exclusive capsule that fuses creativity and rock. Leather pieces adorned with studs and iconic bags revisited embody a transgressive aesthetic. Available from September 2025, this collection reflects a shared vision: defying convention and celebrating freedom.
