Wales Bonner Drops First Standalone Womenswear Collection for FW25
Filled with 70s glamor and quiet reflections, the London-based designer cuts through the fashion week noise.
Wales Bonner might not have shown this Paris Fashion Week, but its Fall/Winter 2025 lookbook certainly still shone through. Quietly released earlier this week, the collection notes begin with the word “Selah,” representing a pause in the music. Though Grace Wales Bonner is primarily known for her impact on menswear over the last decade, the FW25 lookbook is the designer’s first collection dedicated solely to womenswear.
The pieces are largely light, transitional, and introspective in style. Finely cut tuxedo jackets are styled without blouses, pleated trousers are paired with a leather-trimmed cardigan, and a duffel jacket is interpreted into a leather shift dress. The signature Mary Jane and tracksuit also received reissues. The co-ord set is seen in brown with a contrasting orange stripe, complimenting a macrame dress with the same combination.
Some of the bolder looks include a reworked cavalry coat featuring satin contrast and gold buttons made in partnership with Saville Row Tailors Anderson and Sheppard. A graphic tee is printed with iconic imagery by photographer Moneta Sleet Jr., made possible by The Black Image Corporation, a conceptual project founded by the Chicago and Japan-based Theaster Gates.
Though filled with traditional womenswear silhouettes, the collection borrows from Wales Bonner’s signature relaxed menswear voice, blending the two in subtle harmony.
The Wales Bonner FW25 collection will be available for sale later this year. In the meantime, you can check out the full Wales Bonner FW25 lookbook above and stay tuned to Hypebeast for all things Paris Fashion Week.
