When you’re looking at a Kody Phillips campaign, you know you’re looking at a Kody Phillips campaign. It’s through these captivating, quick-hitting visuals that the New York City-based label has nabbed a recurring top spot on our social media algorithms, transcending from a locally loved staple into a well-situated menswear outfitter with a growing global presence.
The label’s campaign for the Fall/Winter 2025 season is no stray away from the storytelling playbook, revelling in its retro-modern design approach and bringing the theatrical flair of the cabaret into a collection entitled “The Great Show.” Phillips’ largest and most ambitious presentation to date, “The Great Show,” epitomizes the designer’s commitment to sharp storytelling – and not, by any means, at the sacrifice of top-tier craftsmanship.
Lensed by long-term creative direction collaborator of the brand, Kizzy Kalu, the latest ready-to-wear range is showcased in a lookbook set on a cabaret stage: curtains closed, light fixtures and prop ladders in place. The collection comes complete with both highly anticipated new silhouettes as well as a lineup of reworked signature pieces – the latter including a cleanly crafted Italian leather lasso jacket, finished off with Phillips’ signature trim on the edges.
For the first time ever, a handful of accessories shine under the spotlight, consisting of pastel pink riding gloves, elevated with all-over pearl detailing, while elsewhere, the coveted Rip Van Kody pants and Mesh Polo top are both revamped in new colorways.
Before or after the curtain call, “The Great Show” glimmers with elegance, asserting the bubbling brand, once again, as a force to be reckoned with in the high fashion zeitgeist. Check out the full collection in the lookbook above, and shop the drop when it lands on the Kody Phillips webstore this Friday, August 15.
