Eckhaus Latta’s Fall-Winter 2025 show is a manifesto of honesty, rejecting fashion’s aloof detachment in favor of radical truth-telling. The collection speaks directly to the anxieties of a world where money, scarcity, and authenticity are constant concerns.

An allude to the art critic Rhonda Lieberman and the artist Sean Landers, highlightes the tension between artistic ambition and financial reality. Landers’ desperate letters to his student-loan officer mirror a generation conditioned to suppress sincerity for curated cool. The urgency of his words resonates with a time when raw emotion and financial precarity are inescapable truths.

This collection doesn’t ask for permission—it demands attention. “IT’S ANTI-SNOBBISHNESS, IT’S FACT-BASED, IT’S SANITY FIRST.” The garments—deconstructed knits, draped tailoring, utilitarian textures—reflect resilience and vulnerability. A sharp yet optimistic color palette mirrors the struggle for beauty in hard times, while structured silhouettes suggest a protection against uncertainty.

Eckhaus Latta critiques the industry’s performative nature. In an era where branding overshadows substance, the show strips away pretense, urging people to embrace the honesty of their experiences.

“Of course things can be beautiful!!” it declares. This is not just about aesthetics—it is a reminder that in a world filled with uncertainty, beauty and truth remain acts of defiance.
