In its latest collection, To kokkino imagines a woman who lives between instinct and intellect, between armor and vulnerability. She is the Beast Beneath the Silver, part feline, part saint, both fragile and powerful.
Designer Micky begins with the idea of the body as a stage and constructs a vocabulary of structure and emotion around it. Leather becomes a second skin, a surface of defense as much as a declaration of confidence. Metal details trace the anatomy of bone and claw, outlining protection while revealing strength. Beneath this sculptural exterior lies a softness that glows rather than yields. Silks and fluid knits move with the light, carrying a quiet sensuality that feels inward rather than performed.
Tailored lines and precise shapes express a clear sense of self-possession, while moments of translucence invite the gaze yet maintain control. The reference to the simulated saint from Metropolis lingers, but the comparison is subverted. The woman in To kokkino’s world reclaims her mystery. Her silver surface conceals not emptiness but depth.
In her, desire and discipline coexist. She is both performer and performance, animal and apparition, a figure who lives within contradiction as her most natural state.
