00 / The originDISPA Haute Sports

Before athleisure
had a name.

DISPA Haute Sports was conceived as luxury sportswear for a woman unwilling to choose between technical performance and personal style. It brought the energy and freedom of athletic clothing into a fashion language shaped by prêt-à-porter attitude, couture tailoring and an architectural approach to cut.

Developed before athleisure became an established international trend — or even a familiar fashion term — the project anticipated the way women would move through the day: between work, travel, training and social life, without changing identity each time.

Collection I / Haute Sports

Technical tailoring.
Built for movement.

An editorial selection where couture construction, sports function and a distinctly urban attitude meet.

Performance was never treated as the opposite of elegance.
01

Technical intelligence

Breathable, UV-protective and antibacterial fabrics, ventilation and movement-led construction were integrated into the silhouette.

02

Couture discipline

Precision, proportion and finish gave sportswear the presence of a considered fashion object rather than a purely functional uniform.

03

A modern duality

Fragility and strength, fluidity and structure, romance and contemporary severity formed the collection’s visual tension.

Collection II / Performance line

Print in motion.
Pure gym energy.

A more direct gym-wear expression of the same idea: original prints, high-energy colour and body-conscious performance silhouettes designed around movement.

1A

Terminal 1A oversized sculptural coat

Androgyny becomes feminine.

Futuristic design blends with heritage to create unique, unexpected and timeless pieces. Set against raw concrete architecture, the collection establishes the Maison’s language through sculptural outerwear, technical panels, controlled transparency and strong, elongated proportions.

1S

Terminal 1S studio look with asymmetric panel construction

Studio-made. Cut with precision.

Inspired by the pleurotus mushroom, Terminal 1S translates organic growth, deconstruction and rebirth into sculptural separates. Every piece was developed in the studio through many hours of pattern experimentation, assembly and finishing. Custom laser-cut sections create intricate surfaces, while layered panels, ties and architectural proportions give each garment its singular identity.

Six studies in
cut, structure & movement.

The collection’s strength lives in its details: precision-cut surfaces, modular panels, exposed ties and silhouettes that shift as the body moves.

2A

Terminal 2A Mineral Print and tactile coat, cropped below the face

Fragility and strength.

Inspired by Mother Earth and the maternal capacity to bring life into being. Marble, blossoms and imagined creatures emerge from a shared source; translated into original print, tactile surfaces and protective silhouettes, they express a femininity that holds tenderness and power together.

Terminal 2A / Fall–Winter 2019–2020

Protective forms.
Fluid identities.

The original lookbook is reframed around the clothes themselves. Layered silhouettes, mineral prints, soft volume and reflective surfaces move between tailoring and sportswear, fragility and protection.

2S

Terminal 2S sand tailoring and mint pleated panel in motion

Desert, divinity, future.

The desert is imagined as outer space: cactus forms, sunset colour, dust and the mystery of old cinema. Female divinities guide a story that moves beyond motherhood to celebrate power, diversity and authenticity — rooted in the earth and landing in the future.

Terminal 2S / Lookbook

Future western.
Soft power.

Mint, sand, ivory and burnt orange build a desert palette for a modern mythology. Fluid pleats meet precise tailoring, riding references and graphic harness details.
