Wiederhoeft Crafts an Emotional Fairytale for SS25

As a seasoned gamer of the fashion world, I must say that Wiederhoeft never ceases to amaze me with their captivating productions. The Spring/Summer 25 show was no exception; it was more than just a runway event, it was an emotional journey that made us question our own existence and growth over time.


Time and again, Wiederhoeft elevates their productions beyond mere runway shows, crafting intricate displays that convey powerful emotional narratives. This season, for Spring/Summer 25, designer Jackson Wiederhoeft guided us on a contemplative journey; prompting us to ponder, “How do we transform with the flow of time?” – A thought-provoking query, given that the brand marks its fifth year in celebration.

Wearing Wiederhoeft’s creations is like confronting sorrow head-on and declaring your resilience,” or more informally, “Slipping into Wiederhoeft’s designs is akin to staring down heartache and saying ‘I remember.'” His work often reflects profound life paradoxes by skillfully weaving poignant stories within the intricate details of his art.

The title of this collection, “Dearly Loved Children and Warriors of the Living Breath,” alters the wearer’s physique, with effects that can be temporary and permanent. For example, waistlines may tighten momentarily, but the impact on the body is also enduring as it becomes entwined within the ongoing narrative of Wiederhoeft.

Kickstarting the spectacle, the performance commenced as a solitary beam of light highlighted a model seated in a chair, clad in a pristine white gown embellished with silver details. As the show unfolded, models strutted down the catwalk showcasing Wiederhoeft’s iconic designs: an assortment of long gowns, corsets, and structured minidresses, adorned with dangling crystals on some pieces and others featuring sequins or bow patterns.

One solitary figure observed, settling down, as various models strutted their stuff, preparing for the climax of the event. At this point, a troupe of Wiederhoeft brides stepped into the limelight. Each one was adorned in a white corseted outfit and a long veil; a tribute to the traditional Wiederhoeft bride who customarily concludes the show annually and a preview of the brand’s new corset line – encompassing 60 diverse sizes. Once they had all exited the runway, the first model reappeared, and then the lights dimmed.
