“As we gather as an industry community, we honor and celebrate the creative work and talents of our New York fashion week designers showcasing FW2025 collections. This is a tribute to the vision and dedication to craft by these artists driving our industry forward.”

– Maryanne Grisz, FGI President/CEO

“For the Fall/Winter 2025 season, I was really inspired by the idea of futurism and modern technology – namely the movement, lines and craftsmanship shared between fashion and auto design, and the innovation that comes with it. Growing up around cars, I’ve always had an appreciation for the true art of their design and complicated yet functional construction – the thoughtful, timeless materials used, and the way the industry has such a masculine association, while the foundational curves, aerodynamic shapes and palette seen in car design are actually very sleek and feminine.

Reminiscent of the perfect red dress or sexy red car – the backdrop this season is designed as a glamorous yet neutral setting for a collection that is rich in texture and color. Exploring new techniques and tactile fabrications that emulate raw materials like steel, glass and leather – the Fall collection sees sculptural silhouettes crafted in glossy oil slick vinyls, iridescent silks, metallic lamé and intricate abstract embroideries that emulate tire tracks. Always balancing strength and empowerment with my quintessential sense of romanticism and whimsy.” – Christian Siriano

The campaign, shot in New York City, brings together a dynamic group of women from across industries, each embodying Barton’s vision in a way that is uniquely their own:

Athletes & Performers: Kysre Gondrezick moves between basketball and fashion with ease, bringing an athlete’s confidence an d a model’s instinct for style. Nastia Liukin’s Olympic precision meets a fluid elegance, while Violetta Komyshan’s years of ballet training shape her poised presence.

Fashion & Entrepreneurship : Winnie Harlow commands attention, both as a supermodel and as the founder of Cay Skin, while Dee Hilfiger approaches fashion with a designer’s eye for detail and a deep understanding of luxury.

Entertainment & Culture: Wallis Day and Bianca Lawson bring presence and longevity to the screen, each with a distinct ap proach to storytelling. Larsen Thompson blends acting, modeling, and dance into a style that feels entirely her own. Haynes Warner’s music carries the same energy and rhythm that define the collection.

The theme for the collection is ENDURANCE: The power to withstand pain or hardships; the ability or strength to continue despite adverse conditions. Sally LaPointe is celebrating 15 years by paying tribute to the art of perfecting your craft – understanding the power in knowing your strengths and having the endurance to see it through. The collection illustrates the power of staying true to yourself while having the courage to grow. Building on the strengths of the brand’s essence, the line features signature silhouettes and feather embroidery, along with bold new styles including trench coats with scarf details, snake jacquard stretch lace pieces, and statement tops with full – length draped capes. The effortless elegance at the heart of LAPOINTE’s DNA continues evolving with striking gowns for evening and knits in new colors and prints for day.

For Fall Winter 2025, SIMKHAI draws inspiration from a chance find while touring the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Los Angeles. Coming across an antique brooch from the 1920’s and imagining the hands and lives that this brooch touched throughout the decades sparked a fantastic amount of energy and intrigue. This season SIMKHAI again showcases a dedication to construction and craftsmanship with incredible workmanship seen in corsetry, tailoring and embellishment. Inside – out details and exposed seams lay bare the work of the SIMKHAI atelier to create an exquisitely crafted collection.

The motif of the brooch is seen throughout the collection, in petite fleur embellishments on knitwear, and extravagant adornment on evening gowns. The aged leather jacket is seen in various iterations for men and women, reimagined in utilitarian and modern forms. SIMKHAI continues to toy with the precision of laser cutting this season. There are experiments with this technique on dresses and coats, with pieces reassembled to create three – dimensional florals.
