All the highlights from NYFW Spring Summer 2025

And we're off – NYFW has kicked off from the epicentre of American fashion, The Big Apple. In honorary commemoration of Fashion Month, we've rounded up the entire suite of shows for you to keep apace of. The weekend has kickstarted with big names Sandy Liang, Collina Strada, and Off-White all showcasing their upcoming collections this year.

With plenty to keep your eyes trained on, we've segmented all the highlights for ease of access. Below, without further ado are all the unmissable tidbits from the designers debuting their collections at New York Fashion Week SS 2025.

Collina Strada

Collina Strada spring 2025 was an outcrop of spring ensembles in abundant bloom. The collection, titled 'Touch Grass' was a dizzying mix of floral patterns, ruffles and side sash ties in jewel-toned colourways. There were acrobatic poses, installations and furried friends hitting their mark on the tarp. Death drop into the Earth.

 

Eckhaus Latta

Would you bring a gun to a knife fight? And would you bring the runway to the dinner party is what Eckhaus Latta is quipping this New York Fashion Week, as they staged their collection at a supper club with food, free-flowing drinks, and their intimate guests to boot. The entire duration lasted ten minutes, but in that period, guests were treated to models like Ella Emhoff, Moses Sumney and Jemima Kirke in the collection's atypical cut out cargo pants, thin summer dresses, and knitted tops in a sludge-like palette of moss, earth tones, and camel browns.

Coach

Coach hit the streets for their SS25 presentation –  leaning into their identity as perhaps the city's most quintessential and recognisable brand. The sentiment seems to err toward the undone – I♥︎NY shirts accessorising louche, oversized and pinstriped suits and trenches, creased satin dresses and scuffed-up sneakers embellished with cassette tapes, Hot Wheels and marker drawings. The brand's signature leather accessories came tucked under arms, and alongside matching leather and suede jackets, and baseball caps.

 

Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy Hilfiger’s SS25 collection was all about his love for the nautical, with bold red, white, and blue maritime-inspired designs that took classic pieces – like trench coats and capri pants – and gave them a fresh, modern spin. Continuing to show their collections at iconic New York locations (having shown at Grand Central’s Oyster Bar in February), this collection's presentation was held on the MV John F. Kennedy, a retired Staten Island Ferry – in celebration of its upcoming transformation into a comedy club, under the new ownership of SNl alumni Pete Davidson and Colin Jost. Hilfiger’s standout pieces include transitional outerwear in solids and checks, blending fisherman-inspired utility jackets with his signature prep style.

 

Sandy Liang

Sandy Liang is more than bows. Though it has cultivated a deity-like status amongst those who are familiar with coquette-core, this year's Spring/Summer presentation at NYFW is a portrait of sophistication for the revered 'girl-on-the-go'. Invitees were treated to the usual suspects: frilled pleating, A-line tailoring sharpened to precision, and the bubblegum pinks and greys saturating all of their previous collections. However, this time around, Liang's flair for the feminine mixed and matched at a lower gradience - simplicity can still be very fun.

 

Kim Shui

The energy was static at the New York designer’s Spring 2025 runway on Saturday evening, for reasons that went above their burnished gold and tan presentations. To start, the label unveiled their first take on menswear, including plated chest pieces and sculptural silhouetting inspired by the Terracotta sculpture practices of the Japanese art of Kintsugi: breaking and reconstructing pieces to breathe new life in them. It's Daniel Rosberry's Schiaparelli, by the way of Shui's signature East Asian perspective.

 

Alaïa

French house Alaïa displayed an 'American Ideology of Dress' from the hallowed antechambers of the Guggeinheim Museum of Modern Art. While models wended their way down the stairwell in pared back constructions of peach, black and muted pastels, attendees like Rihanna watched the atelier presentation go by in simple yet intricate pairings, bandeaus with pouf skirts at the ankle, and corsetwear that snaked around the decotellage. Buttons and ziplines were absent from the entire collection, straining towards Mulier's notion of purity in dress.

 

Off-White

Director Ib Kamara's first-ever New York showing, summarised by Law Roach in one word? P*ssy. Off-White SS25 was a playful convergence of zippers, streetwear, and decal-like motifs with embellished bandaging pasted liberally across their sportswear themed collection in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Son of Solange Julez Smith as well as Off-White's previous walker NLE Choppa were amongst the line-up who took to Brooklyn with bombastic fire.
