By reworking familiar uniforms and everyday garments, Vetements once again blurred the boundaries between convention and subversion.
Vetements returned to Paris with a collection that continued the brand’s ongoing disruption of conventional dress codes, examining how clothing communicates status, authority, and individuality. Under Guram Gvasalia’s direction, the collection once again challenged familiar ideas surrounding contemporary fashion through exaggeration, subversion, and unconventional styling.
The opening looks established a sharply tailored mood. Jackets, shirts, ties, and skirts appeared rooted in traditional office attire, yet closer inspection revealed unfinished edges, altered proportions, and unexpected construction details that disrupted their conventional appearance. These subtle interventions transformed familiar garments into something distinctly Vetements.
Professional dress served as an important reference point throughout the collection, although the brand approached these recognizable uniforms through exaggeration and distortion rather than realism. Preppy influences, executive tailoring, and utilitarian references appeared across the collection, creating a series of looks that felt both familiar and intentionally exaggerated.
As the presentation progressed, the collection moved fluidly between masculine and feminine codes of dress. Tailoring, denim, trench coats, and eveningwear were presented without rigid distinctions, reinforcing Vetements’s continued interest in dissolving traditional boundaries within fashion.
Elsewhere, familiar Vetements signatures remained present. Reversed details, inside out constructions, and unexpected styling choices challenged established expectations while introducing moments of tension and surprise. These design gestures continue to play an important role in defining the brand’s visual identity.
Black outerwear emerged as one of the collection’s strongest categories, accompanied by sheer layered garments, lace pieces, and sharply executed tailoring that demonstrated an increasingly refined approach to construction. Throughout the collection, moments of softness and severity existed side by side.
The show’s closing appearance by Sharon Stone introduced an additional cultural reference point, bringing one of cinema’s most recognizable figures into the Vetements universe and adding further resonance to the presentation.
Collections such as this continue to demonstrate Vetements’s ability to challenge familiar ideas surrounding contemporary dress. By reworking recognizable garments through unconventional proportions, styling, and construction, the brand remains committed to questioning how clothing is worn and understood.
