Andreas Kronthaler Brings Sexy Suiting to Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2025

In Andreas Kronthaler's time as creative director for Vivienne Westwood, he has remained deeply committed to honoring his late wife’s legacy, proving that they shared a unified vision for punk-infused, experimental fashion with a playful edge. The Fall/Winter 2025 collection was no exception, merging sensual tailoring with dramatic layers, rich textures, and the brand’s signature rebellious spirit. Classic Westwood hallmarks—bold plaids, slouchy suiting, and deconstructed silhouettes—were reimagined with modern twists, pushing the boundaries of tradition while staying true to the house’s avant-garde roots.

Tailoring took center stage, with sharply cut oversized blazers in deep navy and herringbone patterns paired with exaggerated ties, slinky silk shirts, and voluminous hats. One standout look featured a deep indigo double-breasted coat, cinched at the waist, accessorized with a towering felt hat—a clear nod to British aristocracy, but with a rebellious, almost whimsical twist.

The collection emphasized texture, combining shimmering metallics and rough wools. A particularly eye-catching piece was a sequined, armor-like vest draped over a crisp white shirt and bowtie, paired with a heavy skirt that added movement and fluidity.

Westwood’s signature playful irreverence shone through with eccentric details like birdcage handbags, contrasting socks, and feathered heels. One model strutted down the runway carrying a vintage-inspired gilded birdcage, a symbol of both opulence and entrapment.

Vivienne Westwood’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection wasn’t just about clothes—it was about attitude, freedom, and storytelling through fabric. With unique suiting throughout, Kronthaler's vision came to life in the collection: "There's nothing more sexy than a suit!"
