As a seasoned fashion enthusiast who has traversed the globe in search of sartorial excellence, I must say that Cecilie Bahnsen‘s Spring/Summer 2025 collection is nothing short of breathtaking. Her ability to transport us from the bustling streets of Paris to the serene mountain ranges of Tokyo through her designs is truly remarkable. The live music by Japanese artist Takashi Homma added an extra layer of immersion, making me feel as if I was right there amidst the towering peaks.
For Spring/Summer 2025, Cecilie Bahnsen has constructed a lively environment for exploration in her fashion line. At her Paris Fashion Week presentation – a complete artistic work – the florals bloom, the vegetation thrives, and clothing remains quintessentially Cecilie-inspired. Accompanied by live music from Japanese artist Takashi Homma, Bahnsen’s “The Crux” takes us away from the hustle and bustle of Paris (or for show attendees, an abandoned Parisian apartment) and transports us to the peaceful landscapes of Tokyo’s mountains.
In his collection notes, Bahnsen mentioned that he and Takashi Homma once talked about photographing in the mountains surrounding Tokyo – a trip we haven’t embarked on yet. This collection serves as an homage to those very mountains, their captivating allure, the inspiration they provide, and Takashi’s distinctive artistic perspective.
In the previous year, I was fortunate enough to attend Takashi’s live concert at his solo photo exhibition titled ‘Revolution 9’, held at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum. That encounter sparked the idea for a unique fashion show setup that incorporated live performances and projections of his photography. The combination of his music and mountain imagery, reminiscent of an abandoned Paris apartment, will establish the overall ambiance for the event.
Models like Brooke Raboutou, Molly Thompson-Smith, and Solenne Piret, professional rock climbers among other athletes, dancers, and artists, showcased their outfits on the catwalk. Meanwhile, Homma’s mountain landscape photographs in shades of blue adorned the bare walls.
The designs in this collection draw inspiration from Bahnsen’s “skeleton flower”, a bloom that becomes see-through when it rains. This symbolizes the focus on showcasing the often overlooked inner beauty, much like nature’s hidden mechanisms. The craftsmanship is evident throughout, with lightweight nylon outerwear and jackets combined with structured skirts that are a signature element of the brand.
The Crux” also includes partnerships with The North Face and Asics. In keeping with the spirit of “Never Stop Exploring”, the North Face collaboration emphasizes the outdoor brand’s blend of materials and methods, offering a collection of technical items infused with Bahsen’s feminine essence. Lightweight windbreakers made from recycled polyester ripstop are used, which are paired with floral shorts featuring drawstring detailing for a stylish finish.
Throughout the presentation, elements inspired by Copenhagen are consistently incorporated, highlighted by striking accents of dark sequins and flowing skirts that add a romantic touch to the overall spectrum.
