New York Fashion Week SS25

Libertine

The Spring/Summer 2025 collection fused eco-awareness with high fashion, highlighting a love for nature. Hartig’s designs featured bright prints and playful details inspired by his passion for gardening.

Hartig’s collection featured stunning designs, including rhinestone roses and 3D lilies of the valley, reflecting the beauty of a well-kept garden. Alongside these floral motifs, he introduced abstract nature elements, like striped outfits with patchwork and embroidery, adding a sense of organic imperfection. Playful gardening tools as accessories lent a fun, relaxed vibe to the tailored pieces.

Standout looks included a coral-printed caftan with matching sunglasses, sparkly jeans with a rockstar edge, and a retro-inspired cardigan suit in mango. Flowing caftans added an elegant, effortless charm. The youthful energy of shorter jackets and revamped denim pieces appealed to a younger audience, but at times the collection leaned more toward collectible rather than the bold, free-spirited style Libertine is known for.

Collina Strada

Taymour’s collection, inspired by the theme of “Mother Earth,” skillfully blended natural elements with a flowing, feminine style. Models floated down the runway in ethereal dresses with asymmetrical, cascading ruffles, while some showcased long, green-tipped hair touching the grass, adding to the organic feel. Sheer tops with ruched tulle provided subtle coverage, creating a balance between elegance and nature’s raw beauty.

The collection’s fabric choices ranged from airy chiffon, georgette, and satin to textured tweed, delicate lace, and casual T-shirt material. Florals dominated the prints, with touches of animal patterns, plaid, and stripes. Standout looks included asymmetrical plaid skirts paired with full-sleeve shirts, rugged T-shirts with flower-shaped cuts matched with layered shorts and pants, and sheer tops decorated with lace flowers, worn with oversized pants or plaid booty shorts.

A standout moment in the show was a model in a wheelchair, elegantly dressed in a ruffled skirt with large floral prints and a ruched top. Another striking look featured a model in a black lacy top and shorts, pushing a lawnmower while his lower legs were covered in wet grass, complemented by black loafers. The footwear lineup stood out with an upcoming Puma sneaker collaboration featuring floral cutouts, turf-covered Sperry Topsiders, and Collina Strada’s debut sneaker boot.

Ulla Johnson

Ulla Johnson’s Spring/Summer 2025 show featured bold, stylish looks for both men and women. Male models sported lace tunics with flared jeans and striking Krasner print coats. For women, jumpsuits and maxi dresses with ruffled skirts in vibrant Krasner prints were adorned with crystal flowers, showcasing Johnson’s love for flowers and nature throughout. The collection ranged from a playful shredded yarn set to a stunning black party dress with gold bead fringe.

The palette included beige, bubble gum pink, multicolors, sea moss green, black, navy, rose gold, magenta, red, white, and green gold. A metallic gold bodycon dress exuded vintage vibes, while a black-and-white crochet midi dress offered a classic touch. A standout was the black flocked maxi dress resembling a nest of snakes.

Shoes were just as stylish, ranging from pencil heels with flower designs to ballet flats and platform block heels. The accessories featured saddle bags and large shoulder bags in colors like brown, white, toffee brown, and black-and-white prints.

3.1 Philip Lim

Philip Lim’s ready-to-wear collection was a celebration of urban life, filled with his signature designs like rosettes, lace, and pinstripe fabrics. The show opened with a sheer white lace outfit featuring flowing handkerchief hems and structured bell sleeves over a crisscross skirt. He used the fabric in various colors, including black and lavender.

The collection showcased unique silhouettes with feathers, sporty sheer lace, peplums, bubble hems, apron tops, patched denim, camouflage prints, beaded fringe, and bold colors. There were light slip dresses, crystal-embellished basketball shorts, and feathered bomber jackets.

The show also had playful moments with deconstructed slogan T-shirts featuring phrases like “Enjoy the moment,” “Don’t cry tonight,” and “Always forever baby,” paired with skirts slit up the sides and styled over sheer dresses with snaps along the slit.

Off-White

Off-White, founded by the late Virgil Abloh, made its debut at New York Fashion Week with the Spring/Summer 2025 collection—its first-ever runway show in the U.S. The brand, known for its global influence, was led by new designer Ib Kamara for this event. The show took place at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 2, highlighting a blend of American and African styles through sportswear staples and casual pieces. The collection used a rich African color palette. New motifs and hand-painted graphics added a unique touch.

For women, the collection featured athletic basics like leotards with deep v-necks, split-hem leggings, sequined fishnet skirts with feathers, star-shaped skirts, and cropped track jackets. Layering was casual, with extra jackets tied around the waist.

Men’s wear showcased an urban style with functional zippers, twisted denim, asymmetrical layers, and bold embroidery. Key pieces included rhinestone-ribbed hoodies, zippered sleeveless hoodies, sparkling varsity jackets, bead-embellished vests, ‘X’ and ‘Sex’ belts, and tops with “00” numbers. Camouflage and orange plaid prints were prominent, and a standout denim coat displayed the collection’s name.

Carolina Herrera

This season, Wes Gordon’s collection for Carolina Herrera masterfully blended tradition with modern style, featuring standout pieces like a black cotton one-sleeve dress, a crocheted mini dress with polka dots, and a sleek knit bandeau top and skirt set. The runway opened with monochrome looks, then transitioned into a refined palette of six colors—black, white, red, pink, yellow, and lavender—with many models wearing yellow flowers in their hair.

A mix of easy yet luxurious daywear included knit skirt sets with floral embroidery and lace, and draped jersey dresses in pink, while classic tailored pieces in solids and houndstooth checks added sophistication. Gordon played with silhouettes, introducing new shapes like high-back, low-front waists on black shorts paired with a crisp white shirt, and capri pants styled with an embroidered black button-front blazer. Flowers, a signature of the brand, were a prominent detail, appearing as handmade silk blooms on several outfits and in the models’ hair, enhancing the spring-like feel of the collection.

The eveningwear was breathtaking, featuring an ’80s-inspired black-and-white polka dot ballgown, a floating blue silk gown with crinoline, and a strapless pink dress designed to look as if it were covered in flowers. Gordon’s ability to merge bold florals, confident tailoring, and striking silhouettes showcased his vision of modern femininity with a playful yet polished touch.

COACH

Inspired by the vibrant energy of New York City, Coach unveiled its Spring/Summer 2025 collection with a runway show on the High Line’s Spur, an elevated park in the city’s core.

The collection reimagined American sportswear classics like navy blazers, chinos, and pinstripe suits with unique fits and proportions. Brightly colored ’60s-inspired dresses featured very short, dropped hems. Graphic T-shirts with New York pop and rock ‘n’ roll motifs were styled with distressed moto jackets and stovepipe jeans. Some white T-shirts had hand-stitched words.

The collection highlighted “re-loving” with recycled garments like denim trousers and moto skirts, showcasing Coach’s commitment to sustainability. Updated cardigans, tuxedo jackets, and pajama-style pants added extra character.

Vevers expanded Coach’s leather goods with oversized backpacks featuring metallic chain straps and playful clutches shaped like hearts, stars, lips, and dinosaurs. The new Soho Sneakers, inspired by late ’80s and early ’90s styles, were decorated with stickers and resin charms like taxi cabs and cassette tapes, adding a playful touch.

The runway featured a mix of sporty and stylish looks, including tank swimsuits with drawstring karate pants, jersey dresses with football-inspired shoulders, and skirts with flexible wire waistbands.

Jane Wade

At Jane Wade’s Spring 2025 show, the theme was all about corporate culture, but the clothes were far from traditional office wear. As models walked in deconstructed button-downs and pinstripe outfits, accessorized with phone headsets and coffee cups, it became clear the designer was reimagining work fashion. The collection included drop-waist bustiers, a skirt and dress made to look like shredded paper, a crocheted metal dress with swinging yarn, and dark chaps paired with a matching bolero shrug.
