The Spring/Summer 2025 fashion month is officially underway, with the first of the big four Fashion Week gatherings currently taking place in New York. Read on for all the highlights so far from New York Fashion Week SS25.

Tory Burch

Tory Burch revealed an SS25 collection inspired by the house’s 2006 roots and the spirit of sport at New York Fashion Week. For the new season, Burch is bringing Y2K style back to the house, with a new take on the nearly noughties footwear that first put her fashion house on the map – the Reva ballet flat. Elsewhere in the collection, there were loose-fitting and oversized silhouettes, with touches of sportswear influence. 

Tommy Hilfiger 

Tommy Hilfiger took over a Staten Island passenger ferry this weekend, to showcase his new collection at New York Fashion Week. The SS25 collection was revealed on the boat moored in lower Manhattan, complete with Hilfiger embossed life rings and advertisement posters. The pieces included updates on preppy staples including low-slung jeans, and nautical touches across jackets and jumpers. 

Carolina Herrera

For the new season, Carolina Herrera’s creative director Wes Gordan put forward a collection bursting with monochrome shades, bright hues and floral motifs. At the house’s SS25 show in New York earlier today, each of the guest seats had a pink rose along with a quote by the American painter Georgia O’Keeffe, which inspired Gordan’s vision “ “I found that I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way – things that I had no words for.” 

Alaïa 

Paris fashion house Alaïa revealed its new collection this weekend in the Guggenheim Museum as part of New York Fashion Week. Led by creative director Pieter Mulier, the location was chosen as a nod towards the historic connection between the US and the French house. For SS25 Mulier offered American-influenced sportswear, with an Alaïa twist. 

Ralph Lauren 

Ralph Lauren unveiled the house’s new collection in the well-heeled US summer retreat of the Hamptons this weekend. The SS25 show took place at Khalily Stables in Bridgehampton, showcasing the house’s equestrian connections. Quiet luxury and subtle shades of blue and cream took centre stage in the new collection, which was revealed to a front row including Jude Law, Naomi Watts, Usher, Colman Domingo, Tom Hiddleston and the wife of the country’s sitting president, Dr Jill Biden. 

Coach 

Coach debuted its Spring 2025 collection on New York’s famous High Line, as part of the city’s ongoing Fashion Week. Creative Director Stuart Vevers revealed a collection inspired by American Classics through the lens of youth. The pieces mixed elements of classical tailoring and couture-inspired cocktail dresses with more casual looks pulled from the counter-cultural vocabulary of skate, heavy metal and new wave. American sportswear icons like navy blazers, chinos and pinstripe suiting were tweaked and exaggerated to create unexpected fits and proportions, while ’60s-inspired dresses in candy-coloured palettes were made new with very short, dropped hems.
