MIDNIGHT VANGUARD
RESPONSIBLY MADE IN LONDON
“Luxury is not just about aesthetics—it’s about creating meaningful pieces that evoke confidence, empower the wearer, and honor the legacy of extraordinary women.”
— Juliana Ponce de León
The debut collection from Juliana Ponce de León celebrates divine femininity, sculptural beauty, and unwavering strength. It serves as both a tribute to the icons of the past and a bold declaration of empowerment for women today. Inspired by trailblazers who reshaped fashion and culture like Marlene Dietrich, Anna May Wong, Grace Jones, and Bianca Jagger, each piece in the collection reflects their bold and legendary styles.
This collection is more than an homage, it is a conversation that bridges time. It reinterprets two iconic eras: the sharp, powerful dressing of the 1930’s and the bold, unapologetic cuts of the 1980’s. Every stitch and silhouette channels the confidence of women who have always set the standards of style, rather than followed them. The Marlene Suit, a nod to tailored sophistication, combines classic menswear influences with modern fluidity. The Zoë Suit offers a more playful yet equally commanding interpretation of femininity, featuring thick satin silk and a daring monochrome colour scheme.
This collection is not just about fashion, it is a statement of what luxury should mean today. Juliana Ponce de León believes luxury is about more than meets the eye. It is about sustainability, empowerment, and thoughtful design. Made-to-order entirely in London, each piece reflects a commitment to ethical production and an emphasis on the individual.
At its heart, this collection redefines what it means to be liberated. With opulent materials like sand-washed satin silk and black silk velvet, combined with intricate design details such as fabric-covered buttons and vintage-inspired pocket shapes, Juliana Ponce de León is reshaping what it means to be a woman in the 21st century. We are creating bold, confident, and timelessly elegant keepsakes.
This is more than fashion. It is a movement. Every garment stands as a testament to a woman’s strength, individuality, and sense of self-expression.
