Sagaboi’s Spring/Sum­mer 2025 col­lec­tion en­ti­tled Out and Bad has cap­ti­vat­ed in­ter­na­tion­al au­di­ences in Lon­don and Mi­lan with its vi­brant fu­sion of fash­ion, crafts­man­ship, and Caribbean cul­ture.

Spear­head­ed by Sagaboi’s Cre­ative Di­rec­tor, Ge­off K Coop­er, who hails from Moru­ga, Trinidad, this col­lec­tion is a tes­ta­ment to the pow­er of Caribbean tal­ent, artis­tic ex­cel­lence, and col­lab­o­ra­tion.

Un­veiled in two it­er­a­tions—first at Lon­don Fash­ion Week, fol­lowed by a Mi­lan Fash­ion Week show­case as part of the of­fi­cial sched­ule—the SS25 col­lec­tion stands out for its bold aes­thet­ic and deep cul­tur­al roots. Sagaboi con­tin­ues to em­body Caribbean pride, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, and crafts­man­ship, with one of its most sig­nif­i­cant fea­tures be­ing the in­tri­cate cro­chet work hand­craft­ed by women from rur­al ar­eas in south Trinidad. These ar­ti­sans poured their skill and her­itage in­to each piece, cre­at­ing cloth­ing that is not on­ly beau­ti­ful but steeped in the re­gion’s tra­di­tions. Coop­er’s de­ci­sion to source this crafts­man­ship from his home coun­try high­lights his com­mit­ment to up­lift­ing lo­cal tal­ent and em­pow­er­ing Caribbean com­mu­ni­ties.

This em­pha­sis on Caribbean ex­cel­lence ex­tends to the col­lec­tion’s mu­sic col­lab­o­ra­tion. Sagaboi part­nered once again with BLAK­GOLD, the dy­nam­ic Trinida­di­an-Ja­maican mu­sic duo, to cre­ate a mu­si­cal back­drop for the SS25 show, en­ti­tled SAGABOI Rid­dim.

Their lat­est track in­fus­es the run­way with pul­sat­ing so­ca and dance­hall en­er­gy, de­liv­er­ing a “move your body” sound that mir­rors the col­lec­tion’s re­bel­lious yet cel­e­bra­to­ry spir­it.

Coop­er’s col­lab­o­ra­tion with Ja­maican-Amer­i­can jew­ellery de­sign­er Rae Hugh De­signs brought a unique el­e­ment to the show’s ac­ces­sories. The jew­ellery pieces fea­tured del­i­cate coral charms sym­bol­is­ing pro­tec­tion from life’s tur­bu­lent waves, com­bined with re­cy­cled glass el­e­ments, un­der­scor­ing a mes­sage of sus­tain­abil­i­ty and cul­tur­al rev­er­ence. The de­signs were both bold and mean­ing­ful, rep­re­sent­ing Coop­er’s ethos of blend­ing Caribbean tra­di­tion with mod­ern aes­thet­ics.

“Footwear al­so played a piv­otal role in Sagaboi SS25, thanks to a col­lab­o­ra­tion with Ja­maican-Cana­di­an brand HAUS by Ever­ton,” Coop­er said. The col­lec­tion in­tro­duced rugged yet re­fined fish­er­man san­dals, which brought a ground­ed Caribbean au­then­tic­i­ty to the run­way.

A stand­out footwear mo­ment in­clud­ed the raf­fia-lined Con­verse All Star sneak­ers, show­cas­ing Coop­er’s in­no­v­a­tive blend of icon­ic de­signs with lo­cal crafts­man­ship.

The SS25 col­lec­tion al­so saw the re­turn of Sagaboi’s steel­pan bag, now reimag­ined in sil­ver to evoke the icon­ic Trinida­di­an in­stru­ment. Along­side this, hand-paint­ed mi­ni vil­lage totes re­flect­ed the vi­bran­cy and re­silience of the Caribbean.

These col­lab­o­ra­tions with ar­ti­sans fur­ther demon­strat­ed Coop­er’s vi­sion of merg­ing high fash­ion with lo­cal crafts­man­ship, cre­at­ing pieces that are both wear­able art and cul­tur­al sym­bols.

Ge­off Coop­er’s jour­ney from the vil­lage of Moru­ga to the run­ways of Lon­don and Mi­lan is an in­spir­ing nar­ra­tive of Caribbean ex­cel­lence. His abil­i­ty to trans­late his her­itage in­to a glob­al fash­ion state­ment un­der­scores the pow­er of the re­gion’s cre­ative force.

Sagaboi is not just a fash­ion brand—it’s a move­ment that cel­e­brates the Caribbean’s en­dur­ing in­flu­ence on glob­al cul­ture.
