Who is Micol Ragni?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Fresh from showing at Designer Showrooms at London Fashion week,\u00a0Italian-born, London-based designer Micol Ragni<\/a> stands out in the industry for her commitment to a personal creative vision\u00a0that goes\u00a0beyond one or two seasons.\u00a0According to the designer, her eponymous brand is a “medium” to find out more about herself hinged on personal happiness.\u00a0“It makes virtually no sense to derive your happiness in life by the canons and standards other people have decided for you,” she tells SLEEK. “Life is really just about you discovering yourself.” Launched in 2014, Micol Ragni has carved out a space for itself as a label dedicated to\u00a0forward-thinking, technologically-advanced clothing designed to empower women.<\/p>\n

Ragni’s rise to fame has been swift: she was presenting small capsule collections in Paris, distributed through international boutiques, before Bj\u00f6rk got in touch. Needless to mention, things haven\u2019t been the same since. The musical vanguard wore Ragni’s bubble-gum pink “vagina” dress earlier this year on the cover<\/a> of Icelandic Glamour, and has also worn some of Ragni’s designs on stage, including a lustrous peach “vagina” construction at Primavera Sound.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":70544,"id":70544,"title":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look 1_high res","filename":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","filesize":179780,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/micol-ragni\/micol_ragni_aw18_look-1_high-res\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"micol_ragni_aw18_look-1_high-res","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":70533,"date":"2018-09-24 10:34:09","modified":"2018-09-24 10:34:09","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","medium-width":1280,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","medium_large-width":1280,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","large-width":1280,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-1_high-res.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1280,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}},{"ID":70540,"id":70540,"title":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look 15_high res","filename":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","filesize":210823,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/micol-ragni\/micol_ragni_aw18_look-15_high-res\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"micol_ragni_aw18_look-15_high-res","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":70533,"date":"2018-09-24 10:29:24","modified":"2018-09-24 10:29:24","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","medium-width":1280,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","medium_large-width":1280,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","large-width":1280,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-15_high-res.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1280,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":"Photography by Micol Ragni"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Bj\u00f6rk isn’t the only performer to inspire Ragni’s work, or wear her clothes for that matter.\u00a0Punk musician No Bra, erotic muse Tessa Kuragi and HTBX club founder Becky Strauch are among Ragni’s inspirations, and Kelela and Erykah Badu have also stepped out her designs.\u00a0 “I connect with people who I believe would genuinely wear my clothes in the street,\u201d says Ragni, who has a background in electronic music production.

What is her aesthetic like? <\/b><\/h2>\n

A typical Micol Ragni look consists of sky-high metallic boots, a neoprene bodice, and a softly moulded PVC jacket. “I like to keep my vision clean,\u201d explains Ragni. \u201cI feel closer to a sculptor than a designer.\u201d Indeed, its easy to see\u00a0the influence of visual artists like\u00a0Jon Rafman<\/span><\/a>, who uses 3D software to distort statuesque figures, as well as John Chamberlin, who explores the plasticity of industrial materials, in her architectural garments. At times, this lends her work an austere, even “dark” aesthetic, which Ragni wholeheartedly embraces: “If we associate \u2018dark\u2019 with any kind of clothing that does not envision a woman looking pretty and girly and adorable and sweet, then the answer is yes: my work is absolutely dark”. Interestingly, there is also a connection to the natural world and biology in her designs. Bj\u00f6rk’s Primavera Sound “vagina” dress, cut from hyper-glossy PVC, was designed using the Fibonacci sequences \u2013 the mathematical formula present in nature.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":70546,"id":70546,"title":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look 14_high res","filename":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","filesize":218365,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/micol-ragni\/micol_ragni_aw18_look-14_high-res\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"micol_ragni_aw18_look-14_high-res","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":70533,"date":"2018-09-24 10:35:18","modified":"2018-09-24 10:35:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","medium-width":1280,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","medium_large-width":1280,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","large-width":1280,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-14_high-res.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1280,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}},{"ID":70537,"id":70537,"title":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look 18_high res","filename":"MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","filesize":226123,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/micol-ragni\/micol_ragni_aw18_look-18_high-res\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"micol_ragni_aw18_look-18_high-res","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":70533,"date":"2018-09-24 10:23:47","modified":"2018-09-24 10:23:47","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","medium-width":1280,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","medium_large-width":1280,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","large-width":1280,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MICOL_RAGNI_AW18_look-18_high-res.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1280,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":"Photography by Micol Ragni"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Why does her work matter now? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Cut from an array of shiny, sensual textures and unusual materials, Ragni\u2019s distinctive geometric structures and voluminous designs are darkly subversive. Her clothes offer a glimpse of an alternative near-future, beyond patriarchy, free from the constrictions of the male gaze and liberated from the suffocating restrictions of binary systems. Her ensembles \u2014 typically consisting of swathes of material, cut-outs and unexpected folds \u2014 are designed to empower women, imparting a rebellious energy that captures a sense of magnetic multiplicity. \u00a0\u201cI believe understanding our inner dualities is at the core of positive change both in our individual lives and as a society,\u201d confirms the designer. \u201cWe are living in a generation that is fighting to overcome all types of binary systems.\u201d Undoubtedly, it\u2019s this forward-thinking spirit that gives Ragni\u2019s designs an edge \u2014 she\u2019s conscious of abandoning the constraints of the past. \u201cIt is necessary to bring our attention to the future. I see too many people under the spotlight escaping into useless nostalgia for a past that will never exist again.\u201d Instead, for Ragni, the future is a dimension of fruitful uncertainty. \u201cThe future is an open and undefined concept. There is a lot more freedom in the future than in the past. I design to hold onto this spirit of freedom, dreaming to manifest the unknown.\u201d And, for sure, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Ragni and her liberated vision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"\nWhy everyone's still talking about Micol Ragni, the designer behind Bj\u00f6rk's "vagina" dresses Why everyone's still talking about Micol Ragni, the designer behind Bj\u00f6rk's "vagina" dresses<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/micol-ragni\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why everyone's still talking about Micol Ragni, the designer behind Bj\u00f6rk's "vagina" dresses Why everyone's still talking about Micol Ragni, the designer behind Bj\u00f6rk's "vagina" dresses\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/micol-ragni\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-09-24T12:31:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-09-24T13:00:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Maksymilian Fus-Mickiewicz\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
