The new Collina Strada Fall 2025 collection takes fashion beyond aesthetics, turning it into a manifesto of empowerment and sustainability. From the moment guests entered the venue, they were met with an unexpected scene: little girls playing house and Hillary Taymour‘s niece singing about the stereotypes imposed on women. This introduction set the tone for the collection, which challenges traditional norms and celebrates femininity from a rebellious yet sophisticated perspective.
A Runway with a Powerful Message
The all-white runway contrasted with the richness of textures and colors in the garments. The first model evoked a contemporary Little Red Riding Hood with a corduroy balloon dress coat printed with earth-toned flowers, transforming classic camouflage into an abstract floral pattern. Throughout the show, models strutted down the runway wearing hoods, oversized sunglasses, and an exaggerated walk, ending each pass with a defiant bow.
Recycled Materials and Handcrafted Luxury
Collina Strada Fall 2025 reinterprets the brand‘s signature codes with a commitment to upcycling and craftsmanship. Sweaters woven from deadstock cotton, coats made of recycled wool, and floral silk dresses created an ethereal yet bold aesthetic. A caramel-colored coat crafted from hand-cut wool ribbons was paired with a nearly sheer silk dress and hand-embroidered mesh boots. Each piece embodies the brand’s philosophy: experimental designs with ecological awareness.
Gowns with History and Meaning
Towards the end of the show, dresses made from repurposed wedding and first communion gowns captivated the audience. However, this was not a nod to the “trad wife” trend but rather a reaffirmation of self-love and independence. The concept echoed the brand’s 2018 runway, when model Sasha Frolova married herself on the catwalk—a tradition Taymour has maintained to challenge societal expectations placed on women. This time, two models closed the show hand in hand, sealing the moment with a kiss that was met with applause.
Moda con protección y resistencia
Hillary Taymour envisioned Collina Strada Fall 2025 as a sanctuary in uncertain times. The collection balances playful elements with a message of resistance and protection for all identities. “I want everyone to feel safe, especially my queer models and all of humanity,” Taymour explained. This philosophy has been a cornerstone of her work, materializing in garments that defy norms while embracing inclusion and diversity.
Collina Strada Fall 2025 is not just fashion—it is a statement of principles. The fusion of sustainability, femininity, and defiance creates a visual narrative that inspires people to challenge the status quo and embrace authenticity without fear.
