UMA WANG TAKES OUR BREATH AWAY WITH HER SS25 COLLECTION

Sometimes, it is in the most simple things that hides the greatest complexity. Uma Wang SS25 collection is a return to the essence, a focus on what remains once we liberated ourselves from unnecessary distractions and heavy decorations. An array of breathtaking silhouettes possess the runway, floating like distant mirages in the majestic scenery.

Garments tinted of earthy shades strut down the runway, evoking an ancient goddess descended among us. Lines are  precisely crafted to give a spectacular effect of ampleness and endless movement.  Different fabrics allow shape to unfold in a fan of sentiments and expressions. Ruffles lead the way, either sported on pants or climbing on an oversized catsuit, they procure volume and romanticism to the outfits. Long dresses are declined in various shapes and colours, asymmetric for one, printed for the other, but always embodying a unique charm.

Fabrics carry both weight and lightness, distressed or waxed, it extends the finishes of the garments for an eclectic result. The highlight of the collection was an asymmetric dress mixing Marie-Antoinette under garments to a sophisticated night gown, presenting an intriguing collision between two worlds. Tailoring is folded, pinned and reconstructed to bring to life jackets and pants that redefined the norm. This collection oscillates between an aerial feel and the impression that gravity is weighting on the fabrics and attracting them to her, thanks to the loose folds and pleats adorning some of the looks.
