Hodakova is the name on everyone’s lips. Since receiving the prestigious LVMH prize last year, Ellen Hodakova Larsson went from the cool in-the-know designer to one of the key up-and-coming players in the fashion industry. With her collection for Fall/Winter 2025, the Swedish designer reminded us just how unique her vision of sustainable fashion can be.

Over the past couple of years, Hodakova has surprised us time and time again with her ingenious use of deadstock materials. This superpower was in full force with her latest offering. Black leather belts adorned skirts and dresses, bouncing around with the models’ struts. A heap of fur hats has been turned into statement coats. Corduroy trousers have been reworked into a peacoat (with belts used as sleeve trims), while wool pants were used to create floor-length gowns.

The most playful element of the offering came from the designer’s look into musical instruments. A violin became a hat – paired with a simple black dress. A drum was used as an ultra-mini skirt – again, worn with a simple white shirt. However, with the final look, Hodakova went all out – a cello was put on a model, creating certainly the most avant-garde dress proposition of the season.
