​Karina Bond brings the organic shape of our natural environment to this seasons runway show, a trend we are seeing highlighted across London Fashion Week SS 2025, paying attention to our fragile and beautiful planet and the creatures inhabiting it.  

This collection pays homage to the raw emotion that connect us with all living creatures, from the fiercest predators to the most delicate beings.

"When we strip away the smoke and mirrors of cultural dominance," Bond explains, "we share the same subconscious behaviours that were programmed in our ancestors, with panthers and antelopes alike."

​From textured faux alligator skin to delicate 3D printed jellyfish tentacles, this season’s collection showcases an array of intricate materials.

"Craftsmanship is at the core of our brand," Bond notes. Hand-painted details, experimental techniques such as smocking faux leather, and the delicate juxtaposition of contrasting materials offer a masterclass in texture play. Each piece is carefully constructed to act as a second skin, challenging the conventional boundaries of fabric and form.
