IN NOMINE HERETICA

In Nomine Heretica is a journey between the memory of the witch hunts and the historical persecution of sexual and gender dissidence. The collection draws a parallel between bodies branded as heretics and queer bodies, which for centuries have been punished, hidden, or ridiculed.

This dialogue with the past resonates today: the global rise of right-wing and far-right ideologies reignites hate discourses that once again seek to point out, censor, and condemn diverse identities. In this way, the witch hunt reincarnates into new forms of persecution aiming to marginalize everything that does not conform to the norm.

Through symbols such as the sambenito, the stake, or the scar—reinterpreted from a contemporary lens—the proposal transforms pain into pride, shame into banner, and condemnation into empowerment. Medieval elements converse with the iconography of queer movements of the seventies and eighties, building a hybrid language that traverses archive, protest, and desire.

In Nomine Heretica is a collective spell: a coven that summons the heretics of yesterday and today to demand a future where difference is not persecuted but celebrated.

Marc Aleixandri (La Ràpita, 1997) is a fashion designer, pattern maker, and multidisciplinary artist. After graduating in Fashion Design at BAU, Barcelona, he worked for five years at Palomo Spain as a pattern maker and part of the creative team, contributing to collections shown in Paris and New York, as well as projects for artists such as Beyoncé, Rosalía, Harry Styles, and Chanel at Eurovision.

In 2025, he founded Aleixandri Studio, a space that conceives fashion as a political language, a living archive, and a tool of queer resistance. The project was born from the desire to create from the periphery, committed to an artisanal and local system, working with deadstock, industrial production leftovers, and re-signified pieces through upcycling. Each garment is produced on demand, avoiding unnecessary stock and reclaiming material memory.

The creative approach is articulated through collections as narrative and conceptual axes, exploring the aesthetic, theoretical, and technical dimensions. Aleixandri proposes genderless fashion designed for diverse bodies that celebrates, accompanies, or confronts identities. After debuting at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid with the Violetas collection, awarded the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Talent prize, Aleixandri Studio now presents its second project at 080 Barcelona Fashion Week.
