Fashion has always been a form of self-expression, a way to reflect both the inner and outer complexities of who we are. Sara Onsi’s latest collection, Intertwined, embraces this philosophy by offering pieces that embody our true selves. Through this collection, Onsi explores the beauty found in our strengths, our vulnerabilities, and how they intertwine to create something much larger than ourselves.
This collection is inspired by the struggle, between our truest self and our shadows that dance alongside our lives. Intertwined is more than just a fashion collection—it highlights the beauty in our complexities. Each piece encourages us to examine the diverse traits that shape our personalities. As Onsi herself says, “The collection is called Intertwined, it celebrates self-expression and human interconnection. These pieces allow for self-expression because of this collection’s versatility. Every piece narrates a story about the inspiration behind the collection.”
The Versatility of Intertwined:
At the heart of this collection is an appreciation for versatility. The standout piece, the Versa dress, embodies this ethos. “My favorite piece in the collection is the Versa dress because it’s a versatile piece. I’ve been working on making a versatile piece for a long time,” Onsi shares. “Pieces are usually worn once, but I liked the idea of wearing one high-value, quality piece in many different ways and different styles. It’s the first introduction to versatility in the collection.”
The Versa dress is just one example of the innovative designs featured in Intertwined. Fluid silhouettes, adjustable sleeves, and removable pieces allow wearers to customize their look to suit different occasions and moods. Accessory add-ons further enhance the adaptability of each design, making it easy to layer and reinvent a look. Whether for day or night, casual or formal, Onsi’s pieces are designed to evolve with the wearer.
This theme of embracing one’s nature runs throughout the collection, highlighting its emphasis on versatility and the fluidity of identity. The designs reflect this duality not only in color but also in their adaptability—offering endless opportunities for personal expression.
Launched in 2015, Sara Onsi’s eponymous Egyptian label has become synonymous with handmade embroidery, intricate lacework, and one-of-a-kind silhouettes. Known for gracing A-listers and red carpets around the world, Onsi’s designs exude a timeless elegance, and Intertwined is no exception. This collection continues her legacy of craftsmanship while pushing the boundaries of what fashion can say about who we are.
In Intertwined, Onsi masterfully celebrates human connection and individuality, showcasing how our differences, like threads, weave together to create a vibrant, beautiful tapestry. This collection, with its versatile and thoughtfully crafted pieces, is an ode to the complexity of human expression and the power of fashion to reflect our multifaceted selves.
