Before making a name as a master painter, Sansó created textile designs for fashion houses such as Balenciaga. Having just graduated from the École Nationale des Beaux Artes in Paris, he had the foresight to know that immediately competing with European artists for a slot in an art gallery would have been counterproductive. As an artist, he had a fresh take on colors, patterns, and materials. His designs consisted of abstract geometrics, florals, and other botanicals. He also incorporated freer splashes of color reminiscent of abstract expressionism—a movement that was currently in vogue in America.

VOYAGEUR As the name of the collection suggests, Santos takes inspiration from the revenge travel phenomenon. Hence, the pieces are designed for ease of movement. “A lot of pieces are easy to wear—just put over your head like a T-shirt,” Santos explains. “It’s like a deluxe resort collection—cotton blends for men and soft tailoring for women.”

Because Sansó’s work was made in the ‘50s and early ‘60s, Santos makes use of the same classic feminine silhouettes of the era—A-line, flared, and serpentina skirts, plus the profuse use of ruffles and flowers. “Despite having a timelessly elegant approach, I wanted to offer something new—bra tops, tank tops, T-shirts for the young market,” Santos says. “I also used an embroidery machine to sew ‘Sansó’ as a brand on the pants.

This is my take on today’s logo-obsessed culture.

Cindel Tiausas The cuts on the pant leg CURATOR are new—and so is the absence of belt loops!

One has to fully examine a piece of clothing to see the details we have put in them.”
