Carolina Sarria’s Fall 2025 Collection: A Punk-Inspired Tribute to 17th-Century Liberation Struggles
Get ready, fashion lovers! On August 15, the highly anticipated Fall 2025 collection from New York-based designer Carolina Sarria will hit the shelves at Dover Street Market NY. Titled “The War of the Three Kingdoms,” this collection draws inspiration from the 17th-century liberation struggles in the British Empire.
Sarria’s streetwear ethos, infused with punk elements, is evident in the collection’s asymmetrically composed tartans and tarnished imperial symbols. But there’s more to this collection than just edgy fashion. It’s a collage of historical symbols that represent power and identity, paying homage to the fight for sovereignty in England, Scotland, and Ireland during the 1640s.
One of the key inspirations for Sarria’s collection is the Clubmen, a group of vigilantes who protected their villages during the tumultuous times. This influence is reflected in the use of tartans stitched together in asymmetrical compositions, symbolizing the sense of disorder and fragmentation during the liberation struggles.
But it’s not just about rebellion and chaos. Sarria also incorporates small details like gleaming silver and gold threads, reminiscent of the metallic shine of armor, swords, and shields. These elements, along with the ripped and tarnished imperial symbols, give a nod to the Punk aesthetic of the 1970s, which also subverted symbols of imperialism.
In an official statement, the brand declares, “This is clothing for those unwilling to be written out of the story.” The collection is a celebration of resilience, reclaiming the discarded and damaged and turning them into symbols of strength.
And that’s not all – starting on the 15th, Dover Street Market New York will also offer a capsule of exclusive graphic tees alongside the “War of the Three Kingdoms” collection. Don’t miss your chance to snag a piece of this rebellious and empowering collection.
