Collection: Di Petsa + Read More

DI PETSA is a womenswear label, founded in 2019 by Greek designer Dimitra Petsa, centred on interdisciplinary foundations, combining couture fashion practices and sustainable textile development, with performance art and film. The brand has evolved from Petsa’s personal eco-feminist research project “Wetness” developed during her Masters studying Womenswear Design at Central Saint Martins, that investigates the relationship between woman and water, and woman and their Bodily fluids, water filtered through our bodies, bodily water. Holy Water, Sea Water. 

Through the brand, Petsa explores the fluid expressions of the female experience and the multiple ways in which the female identity, vulnerability and emotional expressions of wetness are constantly sanitized  - “if you cry, you must hide it, if you breastfeed, you must hide it.” Visibly leaking body fluids; whether tears, sweat, saliva, breast milk – invoke a learned emotional response of embarrassment. It is this shame that DI PETSA aims to lay bare by subverting the corporeal censorship, with a style that exudes an air of renaissance sensuality, crafting a distinct vision of the modern woman, through seasonal RTW collections.
