The imagery of the campaign is a reflection of Achilles Ion Gabriel’s signature style, characterized by sharp execution combined with a twisted and dark sense of humor. The designs speak for themselves, showcasing Gabriel’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. “I’m a weirdly optimistic person with a very dark twist,” Gabriel remarks.

The Achilles Ion Gabriel FW24 collection features a range of gender-neutral ready-to-wear pieces, footwear, and accessories. The collection launches with the Rod Belt, which is available for pre-sale starting today exclusively at aig-limited.com. The belt, much like the rest of the collection, exemplifies Gabriel’s commitment to creating versatile and timeless pieces that can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender. The Rod Belt is expected to be a coveted item, setting the tone for the full collection’s release later this year.
