DURAN LANTINK Spring Summer 2025 during Paris Fashion Week
Paris, France, September 29th, 2024– After winning the prestigious LVMH Karl Lagerfeld prize earlier this month, the Amsterdam and Paris-based designer and his eponymous label, Duran Lantink, showed a collection of 46 looks in the heart of Le Marais.
Marking its third Paris Fashion Week show on the official schedule, the brand balances its signature three-dimensional shapes with wearability; exploring the playful side of getting dressed.
Sculptural forms are ever-present, yet more limited to highlight specific parts of the body. Bustlines bulge as the padded bra takes on a whole new meaning; exaggerated to conical extremes. Hips and joints are highlighted, but with slighter suggestions of volume, in a series of leggings and bodysuits.
Where there is high impact, there is also a study in practicality– with its own twist. Drop-waist trousers and skirts are anchored by sewn-in briefs, and the brand’s debut handbag is worn three ways; on the shoulder, turned upside down and carried as a clutch, and even as headwear.
There are allusions to Ibiza in the 1980’s; when the early rave scene first swept through the island. Gauzy and floor-length tunic dresses are layered over biker shorts, and embellished with jewelry from Carla Sozzani’s personal archive.
Halfway through the show, Duran surprised the audience with a look that seemingly reflected the audience back at themselves, via a screen embedded in a mini dress which was programmed to live-stream the runway.
For the final look, Naomi Campbell surprised guests wearing a bias-cut gown with an illusion neckline, the latest in a series of floating pieces that began with tank tops and jeans.
