Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer 2025 collection signals a clear evolution for the brand. Following the death of Vivienne Westwood, Kronthaler has steered the line into a new era, focusing solely on womenswear for the first time in years.
Presented near the Place de la République, the Spring/Summer 2025 collection showcases Kronthaler’s vision of a powerful, feminine woman, emphasizing construction and innovative draping techniques. Moving away from overt historical references, the collection focuses on modern interpretations of classic silhouettes. Subverted civic classics abound, with wrap dresses featuring complex layering and asymmetrical cuts.
A standout piece is a one-shouldered check dress that fuses bohemian and technical elements. Tailoring takes a deconstructed approach with wide shoulders and unconventional lines, exemplified by a striking blue wool jacket. Kronthaler’s technical expertise shines through in the manipulation of knits and crepes, creating garments that are both simple and complex.
This collection marks a significant step for Kronthaler, solidifying his distinct voice within the Vivienne Westwood legacy while honoring the spirit of the brand. The designer’s focus on the modern woman, combined with his technical prowess, results in a refreshing and powerful collection for Spring/Summer 2025.
