For Spring/Summer 2025, DI PETSA finds inspiration in the myth of Ariadne and Theseus. Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos, helps the hero Theseus navigate the labyrinth, built by craftsman Daedalus on the island of Crete, and defeat the imprisoned Minotaur by giving him a ball of thread to retrace his steps. After the victory, Theseus takes Ariadne with him, but later abandons her on the island of Naxos.

The ancient tale is reframed to explore the labyrinth within the self, where desire, loss, and the search for love merge. Titled My Body is a Labyrinth, DI PETSA's SS25 collection uncovers a deeply personal journey, celebrating the divine power of female self-pleasure, the sensuality of faded summer memories, and the embrace of our darker selves.

The show opens with a new print for the brand — The Tan Line illusions that trace across the body, evoking the lingering memories of sun-kissed summer skin. This is juxtaposed with the brand's signature drapery silhouette, which is reimagined in flowing silks and meshes in vibrant degradé colours. Long, flowing silhouettes blur the boundaries between dream and reality, while the set design features 3-meter-long paintings, hand-painted by the designer herself. A key motif in the collection is period blood — a symbol of female power and the cyclical nature of life. Prints inspired by period bloodstains adorn several pieces.

This season also marks the debut into gender fluid menswear. DI PETSA's signature iconic Wetlook has been reimagined for the male form in a burst of pastel gradient hues, and transformed for an everyday look into a draped, white cotton wetlook hoodie and tracksuit bottom set.
