Newport Beach-based Santo Studio is best known for its scenic rally "races" and creative projects under the lead of founder Bear D’Egidio, but now the Santo Studio crew is exploring new horizons with the reveal of its first apparel collection. Dubbed "With Love and Light from Sicily," the collection aims to combine the high-quality materials and luxury feel of artisanal Italian craftsmanship with a laid-back California vibe.
Drawing inspiration from Palermo, Sicily's capital, the offering features high-end pebbled leather goods like jackets and bags alongside hand-stitched wool jackets and Italian denim jeans, together which, in D'Egidio's words "[unite] culture at the intersection of fashion and performance." The lookbook, shot by Kenneth Cappello of Supreme fame, features a "who's who" of California culture royalty, including Ryan Sheckler and Nyjah Huston, all sporting key pieces from the collection. Standouts include artfully-embossed leather jackets and other jackets with bold prints, fades and even various motorcycle-style patches, accompanied by denim embellished with everything from its own unique prints to pre-distressed details.
An official release date for the Santo Studios Spring 2025 "With Love and Light from Sicily" collection has yet to be announced, but you can check out Santo Studios' just-launched Instagram page for further details.
