And, NYF25 is off to a flying start with Ralph Lauren taking over the Hamptons and sending a tanned Christy Turlington down the runway in billowing cotton tops) and Alaïa, Proenza and Anoushka, giving us a glimpse of the trends we’ll be wearing this summer. While SS25 is a forecast for Europe, it’s perfectly timed for Australia as we dive into summer. We’re in love with Ralph Lauren’s slouchy, beachy looks and the grass-floating grunge we spotted at Collina Strada.
Ralph Lauren transported models and guests to the Hamptons, a location the designer described as his “home away from home.” Naomi Watts, Jill Biden, Joey King, Jude Law and Laura Dern sat front row as Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington walked the runway. The collection was all about laid-back beach luxury with pops of white and blue, which the designer described as “an echo of the pristine sandy beaches, vast cerulean skies and the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.”
"The CFDA is delighted to welcome international guests Off-White, Ronald van der Kemp and Toteme to the official NYFW schedule, staging their first debut shows in New York City," the official press release states, "stealing" Ib Kamara's Off-White from the French calendar and welcoming Europeans RVDK and Toteme. They are also surprisingly joined by Peter Mulier with his Alaïa who, from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 September, will organize exclusive moments to present his spring summer 2025 collection. Other debuts include Advisry, Campillo, Michael Fausto, Salon 1884 and TWP; while some fixed points of the American calendar will not be missing such as Carolina Herrera, Coach, Khaite, LaQuan Smith, Michael Kors, Phillip Lim and Tory Burch. Peter Do's absence, however, seems to continue, both with his eponymous brand and with the new direction of Helmut Lang, after a strategic Parisian attempt to differentiate the two roles he holds.
