Suited and Booted in The Most Fashionable Way
[publishpress_authors_box]
For February, we’re embracing all things Dandy, taking inspiration from the Spring/Summer 2025 catwalks with a particular focus on the art of tailoring. While tailoring is often associated with the classic men’s tuxedo, it’s so much more than that. It’s a versatile technique that transcends gender, offering a wide range of possibilities for both men and women. Silhouettes can be stretched, distorted, or redefined to create new, exciting shapes. Cuts and fabrics can be manipulated to add a modern twist to this age-old craft, making tailored pieces relevant and incredibly wearable. Whether it’s sharp, structured lines or fluid, relaxed fits, tailoring in 2025 is about pushing boundaries and reinventing this timeless tradition.
Ahluwalia’s SS25 collection serves as a homage to the profound ties that bind us to our roots. Inspired by the stories of those who have traversed continents, the collection reflects on the emotional landscapes of migration, the lingering call of ancestral homes, and the delicate balance between past and present.
Tailored suits are made from headstock Chloe fabric, showcasing elegance and sustainability. A combination of fabrics and a meticulous focus on colour come together to infuse culture and tradition from creative director Priya Ahluwalias’ background.
“Flowers Know Better” is a charitable collection collaboration with Nick Knight. Exploring the strength and wisdom of nature, with flowers representing endurance amidst fragility. All profits from the LITKOVSKA x Nick Knight capsule will be sent to support Ukrainian children affected by war.
LITKOVSKA also introduces the SS25 collection titled ZHNYVA – harvest in Ukrainian – symbolizing the gathering of the brand’s achievements over the past 15 years. This collection reflects the concept of reaping what has been sown: a cycle of creation, reflection, and renewal, celebrating the brand’s history and its ongoing evolution.
Within this collection craftsmanship is heavily focused, taking menswear elements and deconstructing them into womenswear structures, with added details of texture and embellishment.
The line in the sand between fantasy and reality becomes so blurred they represents an emblematic between of boyhood. Translating the naive and uncertain dissonance of pubescence through clashes of functionality yet a fluid irregular movement, SS25 mirrors a push-and-pull of rigorous societal structures at odds with youths’ untainted freedom to express themselves.
Traditional sharp tailored edges infused with this expression of fluidity, and male camaraderie. Taking elements from school uniforms, Boy Scouts and military dress codes and creating a collection that challenges both softness and roughness.
The Spring Summer 2025 collection celebrates the work of pioneering Trinidadian artist and textile designer Althea McNish. McNish moved from Port-of-Spain to London in the autumn of 1950, and after graduating from the Royal College of Art embarked on a career producing painterly textiles for Liberty and Christian Dior, among others.
Within this collection titled ‘Midnight Palms’ we see a continued collaboration with Anderson and Shepard tailors from Savile Row, which results in beautifully made pieces like satin overcoats, silk shawl-collared jackets and tailored trench coats.
This season’s collection takes the key spirit of the brand, such as the modern dandy, elevating this in a new, refined manner, synonymous with luxury. This season, the classic neutral colour palette full of rich whites, creams, soft greys and classic navy is accentuated with muted hues of blues and beige.
This collection from Billionaire fully embraces the lifestyle of sophistication. Tailored suiting is a key feature throughout, blended with trench coats and relaxed trousers all come together to make a perfect capsule wardrobe. The four women wear looks to represent this chic classic refinement.
