The collection featured dynamic, flowing designs that echoed the beat of flamenco, like elaborately fringed items that resembled flounced hems on cotton dresses with a single strap.
Feben showcased exquisite beadwork from Ghanaian artisans and experimented with achieving rich textures through the use of velvet. Among the notable inventions were vest dresses and split-seamed skirts with reversible sequins, which allowed for versatile, transforming styles.

KENT & CURWEN
Kent & Curwen’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection signaled a dramatic rebirth for the brand under creative director Daniel Kearns.

Very reminiscent of Ralph Lauren’s preppy aesthetic and Burberry’s exquisite tailoring, Kent & Curwen perfectly combines those features to provide versatility, with items designed to be “shared and borrowed” by both sexes. Reimagining sports and school uniforms with hints of nostalgia for the English countryside was a major topic.
The use of country furniture fabrics and the famous rose insignia of Kent & Curwen gave the collection a historical yet modern feel. The preppy, quirky British look was furthered by accessories like backless slippers, leather loafers, and school sacks.
