Harri's Spring/Summer 2025 show at London Fashion Week was an unapologetically bold display of his signature experimental style. Known for pushing boundaries, the Indian-born designer took latex to new heights, blending inflated, balloon-like shapes with sleek, body-hugging silhouettes. The collection felt futuristic, with a dystopian twist—think apocalyptic streetwear, but make it fashion. Harri’s iconic inflated trousers returned, but this time, he added pointed shoulders and exaggerated textures, making sure no one could look away.

The collection’s standout feature was how Harri used latex not just as a material but as a statement. He played with the elasticity of both fabric and identity, crafting pieces that were equal parts sculpture and wearable art. The models moved in slow-motion down the runway, emphasizing the fluidity and drama of each look. There were surreal moments, like models in ballooned jumpsuits and sinister latex suits with horns, giving off a theatrical, almost alien vibe. It was a risky, boundary-pushing collection, but Harri has always thrived in that space.
What truly set this collection apart, though, was Harri’s debut in womenswear. He took inspiration from Renaissance art, reimagining powerful, regal silhouettes in latex, of all things. The final looks—a series of sheer, skin-hugging pieces in deep greens and burgundy—were a masterclass in how to make latex look both sophisticated and edgy. It was an evolution for Harri, one that blended the past and future with surprising elegance, solidifying his place as one of fashion’s most fearless innovators.
