Overview

• The collection centered on a bold black, white and red palette with menswear-influenced tailoring, sarongs, wide-brim sun hats and quietly sensual eveningwear.
• Material experimentation and craft details stood out, including upcycled patchwork pieces from remnant fabrics, a stretch‑leather bustier and sculptural silver jewelry.
• Staged inside 650 Madison Avenue, the set featured white walls, plush couches, black wicker chandeliers and a dramatic staircase to reinforce the intimate mood.
• A high-profile front row included Oprah Winfrey, Anna Wintour, Mindy Kaling, Usher, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Nick Jonas, Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts, Laura Dern and Ariana DeBose.
• The 85-year-old designer took a bow with his wife, Ricky Lauren, to a standing ovation, as WWD noted his same-day nomination for the 2025 CFDA American Womenswear Designer of the Year.
