Roksanda’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at London Fashion Week was a poetic reflection on the delicate balance between nature and modernity. Inspired by the work of Hungarian artist Agnes Denes, particularly her 1982 installation Wheatfield – A Confrontation, the collection explored the tension between organic beauty and the encroaching industrial world. The runway was a vision of earthy tones, with neutral tailoring, raffia-fringed dresses, and sculptural details that spoke to both Denes’ symbolic wheatfields and Roksanda’s own Serbian roots. The designer’s cultural heritage added depth to the narrative, where wheat holds a powerful place in Eastern European folklore and identity.
Set against the brutalist backdrop of London’s Space House, the collection felt like a conversation between the natural world and urban life. Clean, architectural lines in tailored jackets and coats were softened by flowing taffeta gowns in shades of mint, aubergine, and melon, evoking a sense of romanticism amidst the starkness. With bold fringe and textural contrasts, Roksanda seamlessly fused structure with fluidity, offering a thoughtful, visually compelling meditation on the beauty of resilience in both nature and design.
