Deconstructed Elegance: Courrèges Autumn-Winter 2025

 

Courrèges Autumn-Winter 2025 is a vibrant testament to optimism, a much-needed antidote to these uncertain times. Nicolas Di Felice masterfully reimagines the house's iconic silhouettes, infusing them with a playful energy that's both nostalgic and utterly modern. Think trapeze minis, tank tops, and biker jackets all reinterpreted with slanted angles and asymmetric closures that subtly disrupt the familiar, creating a dynamic tension between heritage and innovation.

This season, texture takes center stage. Dresses emerge from a whirlwind of confetti, giant ostrich feathers sprout from waistlines, and snap-button embroideries add a touch of playful whimsy. Redesigned sunglasses from the Courrèges archive punctuate the collection like exclamation points, while the new Cuff Bag – a sleek oblong design – adds a touch of effortless cool.

The show itself was a spectacle, an inverted sequence of multicoloured confetti played in reverse, culminating in a white flag billowing in the wind, a symbol of hope and renewal. The soundtrack, a remix of Chantal's "The Realm," perfectly captures the collection's whirlwind energy. Courrèges is defined by its radical, abstract, and instinctively fraternal spirit one that perfectly encapsulated in this collection's evanescent gestures. This is Courrèges for a new generation, unafraid to embrace both its legacy and its future.
