Coach Showcases 90s New York Skate Culture in Fall/Winter 2025 Collection

Stuart Vevers blends Gen Z self-expression with nostalgic references and sustainability at New York Fashion Week.

Coach’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection draws inspiration from 1990s New York skate culture, referencing the film 'Kids' by Larry Clark.
The runway featured oversized skater pants, distressed leather jackets, baggy denim, and upcycled garments, reflecting Vevers' commitment to sustainability and 're-loved' fashion.
Accessories included the debut of the Twin Pocket Bag, inspired by a 1968 Coach archive piece, and the return of the Brooklyn and Empire bags, with many items crafted using upcycled materials.
The show emphasized Gen Z's focus on self-expression, with models embodying youthful, street-inspired aesthetics complemented by playful details like stuffed animal charms and bold jewelry.
Coach's growing popularity, particularly among younger consumers, is attributed to its focus on affordability, sustainability, and community-driven design, as evidenced by its Coachtopia sub-brand and rising demand for products like the Brooklyn bag.
