Summer 2025: Dive into the Sea’s Allure
With vacation season fast approaching, the allure of seaside glamour is stronger than ever. This summer, fashion takes a deep dive into oceanic themes, bringing sea life to the wardrobe in ways both playful and sophisticated.
Versace leads the charge with its High Summer collection, “La Vacanza”, a tribute to the brand’s coastal DNA. Mythological sea creatures, baroque underwater motifs, and fluid silhouettes define the collection, seamlessly blending Mediterranean elegance with modern sensuality. Prints that may seem extravagant in the city suddenly feel essential by the shore, adding a vibrant touch to vacation dressing.
Bottega Veneta’s Sardine bag, already a cult favourite, returns this season in a raffia crochet iteration, merging artisanal craftsmanship with effortless luxury. The textured weave and sculptural metallic handle make it the perfect companion for sun-drenched escapes.
Chloé embraces its signature bohemian spirit with accessories adorned with shell motifs. The standout piece? The Sea Treasures minaudière, a sculpted gold metal bag with a long chain strap, designed to be worn crossbody or elegantly draped over the shoulder. Its organic shape and shimmering finish capture the essence of summer sophistication.
Meanwhile, Anya Hindmarch’s Dive Shop pop-up on Pont Street transforms London into an underwater dreamscape. The collection is a whimsical celebration of marine life, featuring shark pencil cases, fish coin charms, and jellyfish bucket bags. Each piece is infused with Hindmarch’s signature playful elegance, making them irresistible additions to any summer wardrobe.
To complete the look, sea shell earrings add a romantic, boho touch; perfect for sunset strolls along the coast. Whether styled with breezy linens or layered over swimwear, these ocean-inspired accessories bring a sense of escapism to summer dressing.
From Versace’s mythological prints to Bottega Veneta’s raffia craftsmanship, Summer 2025 is all about embracing the sea in style. So, whether you're lounging at a designer beach club or exploring hidden coves, let your wardrobe reflect the magic of the ocean.
