untitlab® Presents SS25 Live Performance: Abyss at the Institute of Contemporary Arts during London Fashion Week.
Concept and directed by Nicolas Tian, with music composition by Oscar B. Morgan and choreography by Lewis Walker, in collaboration with performers Alex Thirkle and Andrew Lennox Scott, Abyss offers a visceral exploration of desire, mortality, and the liminal spaces between.
This performance draws upon Georges Bataille's description in Erotism: Death and Sensuality as its overview:
“How sweet it is to gaze long upon the object of our desire, to live on in our desire, instead of dying by going the whole way, by yielding to the excessive violence of desire! We know that possession of the object we are afire for is out of the question.
It is one thing or another: either desire will consume us I entirely, or its object will cease to fire us with longing. We can possess it on one condition only, that gradually the desire it arouses will fade. Better for desire to die than for us to die, though! We can make do with an illusion. If we possess its object we shall seem to achieve our desire without dying. Not only do we renounce death, but also we let our desire, really the desire to die, lay hold of its object and we keep it while we live on. We enrich our life instead of losing it.
*This performance contains strobe lights, smoke and water spay effects. Viewer discretion is advised.

untitlab® reveals its SS25 collection preview campaign as part of the London Fashion Week presentation.
Inspired by the brand's ethos, the untitlab® SS25 collection centers on the themes of exploration, adventure, and breaking boundaries. Using vibrant colors and dynamic shapes, the collection evokes a powerful sense of freedom.
Pushing the boundaries of innovative craftsmanship, we have collaborated with the British eco-friendly wool brand Cloudwool to introduce mule bags and slip-ons, and with HILOS Studio to develop fully recyclable 3D-printed shoes. Additionally, we partnered with artist *toooomyng to present the inflatable rubber Reel Boots. Further expanding our vision, we've reimagined formal wear by incorporating sneakers into the new Helix thick-soled racing shoe series and Malar Boots, both crafted using cutting-edge overall embossing technology.
