As the Doomsday Clock inches closer to midnight, Collina Strada Fall 2025 envisions a world turned upside down – and then reimagined. Titled Fempire, the collection is a study in reclamation, both material and symbolic. Designer Hillary Taymour takes what has been discarded and breathes new life into it, transforming heirloom wedding dresses into modern Collina couture. Menโs wool coats are stripped down and reconstructed with a softer, more fluid edge, rejecting waste and embracing reinvention.
Psychedelic floral prints and bleach treatments lend the collection an off-kilter energy, while tartan and structured outerwear ground it in something more classic. Feminine details – delicate lace, frilled shoulders, corsetry – are juxtaposed against this darker, more mature aesthetic. Fempire is about adaptation, about honouring what came before while reshaping it for the present. It is a vision of power, possibility, and defiance in the face of uncertainty.
