Design duo Sophie Andes-Gascon and Claire McKinney of SC103 unveiled their Fall 2025 collection within their new Red Hook, Brooklyn studio—a space that mirrors their commitment to artisanal craftsmanship and community-driven design.
A Symphony of Shapes and Textures
This season, SC103 delved into geometric exploration, transitioning from previous focuses on squares and rectangles to an emphasis on triangles. This shift manifested in garments featuring triangular inserts and silhouettes, such as striped dresses with cap-sleeve shoulders and funnel-neck tops with plaid accents.
Materiality and Craftsmanship
True to their ethos, the designers employed a hands-on approach, cutting directly into fabrics without predetermined plans. This intuitive method resulted in pieces that blend rustic and refined elements, including patchworked denim with red hues and knitwear featuring dramatic scarves.
A Space That Inspires
The new studio, housed in an 1869 red-brick warehouse, serves as both a creative haven and a reflection of SC103’s design philosophy. The historic ambiance and vintage materials influence their work, fostering a dialogue between past and present.
Looking Ahead
SC103’s Fall 2025 collection reaffirms their dedication to personal and imaginative fashion. By embracing organic processes and drawing inspiration from their environment, Andes-Gascon and McKinney continue to craft garments that resonate with authenticity and innovation.
