Fforme Fall 2025 Sends a 'Love Letter to the Female Form'

After Paul Helbers exited Fforme after two years last July, Frances Howie (formerly Stella McCartney’s design director) took over the New York-based luxury label’s top creative position and got to work on her debut collection. Now, her vision for the minimalist brand’s next chapter has officially arrived, and it culminates in “a love letter to the female form,” according to the Fall 2025 collection’s show notes.

Amid Chelsea Factory’s industrial red-brick walls, Fforme unveiled a lineup of belted trench coats accented by slightly curved (yet still sculptural) shoulder pads, flowing bias-cut dresses and fringe-adorned floor-length skirts and gowns. An emphasis on texture prevailed throughout the collection via hand-frayed ribbon embellishments, crushed double-processed pleating and fringe accessories (see: a cream-colored statement bag and fan-like earrings crafted from worn bow strings by artist Alba Navarro).

Outerwear was a highlight of the show, with oversized blazers sporting elongated sleeves and various collared trenches that emphasized, rather than restricted, the wearer’s movement.

While the collection displayed plenty of neutrals in keeping with the brand’s modern, sophisticated approach to clothing, it also introduced vibrant pops of color — cherry red and bubblegum pink, to be exact — and a hand screen-printed brushstroke design by Blue Farrier.

“I am a woman who loves things,” Howie told Vogue ahead of Fforme’s Fall 2025 runway show on Friday. “I love print, texture and color, and I want to bring that to the conversation because, ultimately, if you are designing as a woman, you are designing to make the things you want. When I engage with other brands, the joy is that there’s something to delight in.”
