Best looks from the New York Fashion Week 2025 runway
Calvin Klein Collection
A testament to Calvin Klein’s signature minimalist aesthetic, this look featured an all-black ensemble that exuded sophistication. Stand out was a very large black coat with an asymmetrical layered construction, creating a dramatic, sculptural silhouette. Large buttons and flowing fabric billowing down one shoulder gave a complete form.
With the tailored black bottom and sleek shoes, the costume embraced luxury. The monochromatic styling features of the coat became the focal point. Calvin Klein's return to the runway was a must-see at New York Fashion Week 2025. Explore more Calvin Klein Collection on the official website.
Jane Wade
Jane Wade presented a forward-thinking design that played with proportions and deconstruction. The model wore a top in a blue pinstripe asymmetrical cut with wrap sections with a one-sided off-shoulder effect with a modern touch. The cinched waist lent itself to a refined silhouette, and the diagonal drape of the hem added a sense of directed randomness.
Completing the headwear were pants (in dark gray), cut to be loose, with eye-catching piping of contrasting high-brightness white. These subtle accents enhanced the structured yet relaxed aesthetic of the ensemble.
Accessories were kept minimal, with futuristic thin-framed glasses adding a modern intellectual touch. Jane Wade’s ability to merge unconventional tailoring with wearable fashion made this look one of the most memorable from the runway. You can see a variety of Jane Wade collections on the official website.
In a press release, Wade said:
"This show examines how we perform corporate theater across both physical and digital spaces. Every element, from the circular runway to the streaming cameras, reflects how we navigate contemporary professional life through multiple lenses simultaneously."
Ashlyn
Ashlyn’s look blended style with modern tailoring. The black blazer, with an asymmetrical high-collar and solid rib pattern on one end, was stunning. A black belt cinched the waist, highlighting an hourglass shape, while a silver pin detail added an edge.
The top was complemented by loose brown bottoms. The full-leg silhouette and draping provided a classic look, and the finishing touches included sleek, pointed-toe heels and thin-framed glasses. The costume was attractive and creative.
Christopher John Rogers
Christopher John Rogers once more won hearts with an avant-garde ensemble that shook the runway. The model wore an all-black outfit with a futuristic twist made from a subtly sheeny fabric that added depth to the monochromatic palette.
This top featured an asymmetric, sculpted shape with a boat neck and a bold cutout element. There was a folded unit that draped over one of the shoulders, giving an impression of deconstructed but stylish. The bottom half consisted of balloon-like pants, creating a unique shape.
With a sleek hairstyle, the model displayed a futuristic aesthetic. Christopher John Rogers's success in combining classic and style can be seen in this dress. Visit the official website of Christopher John Rogers and explore more collections.
In a press release, Rogers stated:
"We haven't been immune to the recent challenges of the industry and are grateful as a brand to be here now presenting this body of work. Exhale is a celebration of our roots — expressive occasionwear imbricated with declarative, playful daywear — and a continued effort to give space for our fantasies to flourish."
Brandon Maxwell
Brandon Maxwell delivered a polished and sophisticated look that combined classic tailoring with modern elements. The model wore a turtleneck sweater in black over an open-necked oversized ivory-colored pinstriped coat with big sleeves that brought a current of chic drama.
A black leather midi skirt presented an edgy contrast. The shape of the skirt and the knee-high black leather boots have an elegant appearance. Accessories included a black clutch providing rich texture and the model’s low bun and minimal makeup kept the look in the spotlight.
Simkhai
Simkhai's collection achieved a perfect combination of casual glamour plus strong items in equal measures. The model wore an oversized black knit sweater with a chunky texture, creating a cozy yet refined silhouette. The voluminous fit stood out dramatically from the articulated part of the whole structure.
The sweater with red leather wide-leg pants brought a luxurious feel to the outfit. A black handbag with a structured design complemented the look, adding an element of sophistication. With a sleek center-parted hairstyle and understated makeup, this outfit perfectly encapsulated modern minimalism with an edge.
Sergio Hudson
Sergio Hudson showed an edgy and chic collection that possessed an air of power and glamour. The model wore a black turtleneck beneath a blazer decorated with white pinstripes. The tailoring of the blazer highlighted an elegant shape and the black waist belt added a powerful look.
The lower half of the costume featured a floor-length black sequin skirt that sparkled under the runway lights. Her hairstyle, a vintage-inspired sculpted wave, and makeup reinforced the glamour of the look. Her makeup is also minimal and refined. This allowed the striking outfit to remain the focal point.
This look blends classic and modern glamour, making a powerful fashion style.
