Entitled Fragmented Royalty, this Fall/Winter 2025 collection looks to deconstruct regal garments into freer, more rebellious shapes taking inspiration from Danish princesses Alexandra, Dagmar, and Thyna. The collection tells a story of reinvention—where remnants of grandeur are reshaped into something fresh, rebellious, and free. Ball gowns, symbols of constraint and duty, are reimagined into playful bubble hem skirts, cinched at the waist with delicate bows. The voluminous shapes remain, but now they move with ease, no longer meant for stiff ballroom dances but for running, exploring, and embracing the unknown.

This season, the house delves into the archives, weaving past creations into a new narrative – a contemplation of time and legacy. The collections an ode to the vanished splendor of the Chinese empress, an emblem of grace and power, her presence lingering in the echoes of history. Rich hues or imperial red, burnished gold, ochre, and the faded parchment of ancient scrolls form the pallet. The collection remains steadfast in its commitment to the house’s codes – precision in draping, sculptural elegance, and the integrity of artisanal techniques.

Todd Snyder debuted his Fall-Winter ‘25 Collection “Saint-Germain” at the Academy Mansion in New York City’s Upper East Side. The 65-look collection was inspired by a neighborhood in Paris, Saint-Germain; a moment in time, the 1980s; and the different uniforms the locals wore. In Snyder’s imagination, undergrads loiter outside class in shorts and neckties. A writer has coffee at Café de Flore and keeps warm in a Greatcoat he thrifted at Les Puce de Saint-Ouen and much more. “I wanted to take these Parisian archetypes and reimagine their traditional silhouettes in opulent fabrics, rich jewel tones and sexier proportions,” says Snyder. “The sort of decadence that Oscar Wilde, who spent his final days in Saint-Germain, might have appreciated.”
