It answers our question as to what to wear this season, when there are multiple options.

From seasonal collection to brand campaigns, never be out of the loop, stay fashionable and fabulous yet formless, because you do it on your own terms.
The McQueen campaign for AW25 draws on Victorian Gothic codes, silk georgette drifts from shadow into light, entwined with raw-edged lace, precise tailoring, and black lacquered leather. Yet form unravels—no structure fixed, no silhouette contained.
“The collection was rooted in the uncompromising self-expression of independent thinkers, exploring the tension between tradition and transgression. Their spirit of progressivism feels pertinent now, inherent in modern questions of character, identity, idealism and gender.”
Seán McGirr, Creative Director
Drawing inspiration from manga fighters and samurai, Edeline Lee unveils a collection defined by dynamic form and movement. Draped fabrics convey fluidity, gunmetal hues reflect the glint of steel, and bandeau silhouettes reference the structure of boxer’s shorts — a harmonious balance of strength and grace.
“Gentle(wo)man” reimagines the masculine wardrobe through a poetic, deconstructed. Drawing on Dadaism’s ready-made spirit and today’s cultural embrace of gender fluidity, the collection destabilises traditional office wear, rigid tailoring is undone, reformed into fluid, sculptural silhouettes that resist convention and reframe expectation creating looks that result in a collection that infuses the theme of formlessness.
Drawing on inspiration from the intricacy of archival processes, observing their ability to transcend physicality and unlock hidden corners of past worlds for new forms of exploration. From this, Hansdóttir developed delicate techniques rooted in display and documentation: wool pressed between layers of organza, hand-stitched organza over jersey, recalling preservation methods, and knitted forms punctured with holes, like punch cards, encoding forgotten information. Creating a collection that creates a whole different form of its own.
Toga’s AW25 collection is all about rewriting what we see as ‘form’. This collection is titled ‘Formal, Informal, Anti-formal’
“I started to wonder whether formal concerns in dressing were now outdated. Whether they’d been deemed unnecessary. I took inspiration from the way William Eggleston dresses and how it deconstructs formality and masculinity. Eggleston often wears an untied bowtie around his neck. It’s an aesthetic of rebellion against formal dress. And one which differs from dressing casually or wearing a t-shirt with a statement. I worry about frowning at things considered informal, whether I label them as vulgar. Would I be that person? Which side am I on? When I looked up the definition of a skirt, I found it meant a single cylinder-shaped clothing item with no separation from the waist to the hem.”

Marking its 15th anniversary, the David Koma Autumn-Winter 2025 collection celebrates the house’s identity while pushing its signature codes to new heights of couture-inspired sophistication. Revisiting the archive with a forward gaze, Koma transforms iconic elements into silhouettes that embody both form and formlessness—at once structured and fluid, familiar and new.
The apparel line merges performance with design, featuring technical silhouettes such as tees, tanks, shorts, leggings, vests, and running jackets. A striking palette of grey, red, and black is heightened through innovative dye treatments, while advanced performance fabrics provide both warmth and softness. The collection strikes a seamless balance between fashion and function.
APUJAN’s work has always been deeply rooted in literary references, fantasy, and the passage of time—and this collection is no exception. Inspired by the treasure box of the Dragon Palace, it fuses ancient garment traditions with futuristic visions of fashion. A palette of blue, pink, green, and black anchors the collection, while structures unfold into bold silhouettes that resist fixed form—at once present, yet dissolving, fluid, and unbound.
