In only a couple of seasons, Duran Lantink has conquered the industry with his striking take on fashion, which is not only based on innovative materials and creative constructions, but also includes social commentary on the world around us. This approach gives the brand a deep understanding of the needs of today’s industry.
For his Spring/Summer ‘25 collection, he envisioned a wardrobe for holidaying in Ibiza, inspired by his childhood memories. Each piece in the collection was made from upcycled materials, further solidifying his conscious approach.
Throughout the show, we see pieces that blur the line between practicality and artistry, resulting in a testament to Duran’s ability to place innovation at the forefront of his label, while still delivering wearable pieces. With a focus on light fabrics, visually strong prints, and dramatic shapes, the collection was a fusion of styles, enriching the brand’s aesthetic and creating its own visual language.
Feminine silhouettes, like draped dresses in see-through fabrics, merge with sexy miniskirts and corporate tailored pants. On the other hand, big, dramatic shoulders resulted in exaggerated silhouettes and constructions. Floral print dresses with cut-outs on the sides and a voluminous ruffle at the bottom create a soft, wavy effect. Dresses adorned with what seems to be an inflatable swim tube add a playful touch to the overall look.
