AW 25 Collection
Ashura

Petoruche’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, Ashura, explores garments designed for forms beyond the human frame.

Inspired by the six-armed deity of conflict and transcendence, this collection reimagines tailoring for beings who embody multiplicity—of limbs, of identities, of presence.

Classic garments such as shirts, blazers, and coats are restructured to accommodate three pairs of arms, with precise slits, layered plackets, and adaptive silhouettes. The result is clothing that retains quiet minimalism yet acknowledges bodies that exceed human symmetry.

Executed in a restrained palette of black, grey, and muted neutrals, the collection emphasizes refined construction over spectacle. Wool gabardine, treated leathers, and sculptural pleats balance weight and movement, creating tension between discipline and distortion.

Ashura is not a costume. It is a framework for entities who live beyond singularity, a ready-to-wear vision for the non-human.
