REVERIE BY CAROLINE HU Spring Summer 2025 during Paris Fashion Week

For the Spring Summer 2025 season, Caroline H explores the idea of love and death. The emotions that stem from family, friends, and everything happening in the world around us. Love is captivating and can express happiness but it can also bring about darkness, greed and loneliness; like the reality of losing an aging loved one or discovering a beautiful landscape that reminds you of someone who is no longer here. For this collection, H was thinking about the pursuit of love in all of its forms and the sense of relief you feel when you see sunlight. Inspired by the subtle nuances of daily life and the beauty and fragility of these emotions, the collection features vibrant hues and delicate silhouettes that evoke fleeting moments of connection and reflection. All prints in the collection are original, some are enlarged illustrations and watercolors of flowers, roses, mountains and the sky.

These emotions transformed into illusory colors, like a ray of light breaking through dark clouds, or faint light filtering through thick leaves, hints of red reflected through a rain-streaked window and shades of melancholic blue.

H, inspired by movement and volume, included a live performance by dancers Emma Portner and Lo Handtschoewercker. Many new silhouettes in the collection include the idea of freeze framing pieces in movement, shaped by using boning and wire at the hems of skirts and dresses or playful shapes of garments that look as if they have been tugged on one side by a door. H captured the romantic details of pieces in unintentional moments.

Key fabrics in the collection include silk taffeta, technical fabrics used in sports/performance gear made to look like taffeta, printed silk organza, fine stretch jersey that have the appearance of organza and hand knitted tops. H infused her signature smocking technique and continued her partnership with French lace company, Sophie Hallette to create tulle lace appliques.

The collection continued the collaboration with adidas Originals, featuring Hs take on the classic Adidas SL72 and Superstar sneakers, set to release in November 2024. H also partnered with phone case and electronic accessories brand Casetify to create a handcrafted ceramic pendant top.
