Out Of Comfort Zone. Victoria Beckham AW25

Victoria Beckham, one of the few female designers leading an independent brand, is in her very-daring, experimental mode. Not all ideas she presented on her autumn-winter 2025 runway were resolved – especially the foldings and rollings – but at least the collection didn’t feel like yet another iteration of The Row or Old Céline. Her closing look, a white top made from bathrobe frotte, felt utterly cool and nonchalantly elegant. Two notions that Beckham should definitely try explore more in her future endeavors. Many women really resonated with that moment – and the gorgeous, maxi-length coats she did.

A Real Dream. Undercover AW25

Jun Takahashi’s Undercover collection – which celebrated 35 years of the Japanese brand’s business – didn’t pretend to know it all about contemporary women, but it did deliver a substantial offering with a pinch of dream. The casting featured a number of mature women as well as industry professionals, like Lolita Jacobs. They all looked completely at ease in Takahashi’s romantic layers made out of richly-embellished cashmere knits, vintage-y jackets decorated with talismans and sparkly-hemmed coats. The poignant romanticism combined with inimitable sense of chic made Jun’s creative effort look – and feel – outstanding. For me, personally, this collection is up, up in this season’s list of top moments (and there really weren’t that many).
