Zifie Wang blends these elements with re-constructed tailoring to form clothing that seems alien, yet incredibly familiar. We are surrounded by our landscape and its harshness, yet cocooned at the same time within these highly designed pieces. Drawing inspiration from the Haihe River in Tianjin, China and its surrounding folk culture, the “Endless River” collection explores the healing power of traditional arts in an industrialised world. The collection represents a cultural fusion, where international creativity intersects with classical Oriental elements, highlighting a harmonious blend of the East and West. The theme, “Endless River,” metaphorically bridges the historical, architectural, and cultural ties between Tianjin and London—symbolised by the confluence of the Haihe and River Thames. This concept underscores the significance of Zifei Wang’s London show, which serves as a cultural exchange between these two iconic cities, enhanced by collaborations with Tianjin's cultural and tourism sectors.

SøEdited Team: SøCreative Director: Chris Saint Sims SøFashion Director: Savannah Barthorpe SøBeauty Director: Astrid Kearney Amid the grandeur of Freemason’s Hall, Karina Bond made a striking impression at London Fashion Week, unveiling a collection inspired by primal instincts that connect us to nature. It celebrates the raw emotions that unite us with all living creatures—from fierce predators to delicate beings. The collection’s impact was amplified by the artistry of Lan Nguyen Grealis, whose makeup creations featured taut, glass-like polished skin, hidden brows glowing with a radiant red hue beneath the outer eye and cheek area, and intricate detailing between the brows. Some models displayed dewy skin paired with black or white, pencil-thin extended liner to accentuate their fierce expressions. Hair by Toni & Guy was styled wet and slicked back from the face, with comb tooth marks lending a raw edge. On others, hair was twisted high at the nape or transformed into long red plaits, enhancing the runway’s untamed energy. This season marked a technical evolution for Bond, with sculptural silhouettes and 3D-printed embellishments adding depth and complexity. She also worked closely with milliner Virna Pasquinelli, jewellery designer Ivy Jiang, nail artist Megan from Brixton Claws, and stylist Borna Prikaski to elevate the collection. .

Founded in 2015 by Tien Lu and FangFang, the collection showcases hidden garment details with modern twists, taking inspiration from their menswear roots. Tailoring remains at the core of the collection, a tribute to traditional craftsmanship, much like the precise beauty details on the models. Hair was styled with effortless precision, softly framing the face and gently hugging the nape of the neck. This understated yet refined approach to hairstyling created a seamless balance between natural ease and sculpted edges. The hair by @philipp_haug_london from @hauglondonhouse was refined yet sharp, balancing elegance with a modern edge. The scarfed hair added a chic, effortless feel, perfectly complementing the fresh, clean vibes of the overall look.
SoEdited reviewed the show as a key moment during LFW SS25 season, with Hero piece such as the work apron and its divers alteration inspiring a re-design of vintage work wear into modern fashion design. The classic rain coat with patch pockets and narrative inner design brought to the outer contemporary vision. Oversized elements on shoulders and wide pants highlighting and exaggerating body shape, dropped waist lines and flashes of skin, bold neon yellow and pink, and monotone grey outfits kept the modern and militant style in order and a lowered the stranded blacks jump off the catwalk with drama.
Sustainability also played a key role with the show, with CONSISTENCE repurposing fabric scraps into accessories like headscarves and gloves. Tailored suits and trench coats used structured fabrics that adhered to the brand’s modern aesthetic, while materials like 24-carat gold-infused fabric and fluorescent pink and yellow wool added a touch of luxury. The collection’s bold colour palette harmonized with the models’ glowing, fresh-faced looks, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated cool elegance
