ALEJANDRA ALONSO ROJAS
The Andalusian region of Spain inspired Alejandra Alonso Rojas’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at NYFW.
Vibrant hues that reflected the scenery of Spain were lemon yellow, sky blue, and sangria red. The flowing, ruffled skirts were influenced by the flamenco style, and new designs were combined with traditional workmanship like Camariñas lace.
In addition, the collection featured daywear that celebrated Spanish heritage through a modern, opulent lens. Items included beautiful cotton outfits with printed carnations and trousers reminiscent of the ’90s.
CUCCULELLI SHAHEEN
Transcendence and metamorphosis served as the inspiration for Cucculelli Shaheen’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, which was shown during New York Fashion Week.
To create a sense of magic and wonder, the married designers experimented with striking a balance between the ethereal and the earthly using elaborate stitching and embellishments.
The collection, which celebrated craftsmanship and the power of metamorphosis, blended bold, statement-making gowns with meticulous handwork, drawing inspiration from celestial and mythological images. Each sculpture has a dramatic, otherworldly look that results from the interaction of light and dark.
JANE WADE
The theme of Jane Wade’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, which debuted at New York Fashion Week, was corporate culture, with a pointed indictment of corporate avarice.
Under the moniker The Audit, the collection featured whimsical reinterpretations of business wear, ranging from paper dresses to repurposed dress shirts, with an emphasis on everyday corporate life.
Wade combined streetwear themes with corporate monotony, adding distinctive details like chainmail and denim chaps. Traditional business clothing was given a modern, youthful touch by the designers.
