Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture SS25 

Stéphane Rolland put forward a theatrical collection across colourways of monochrome and metallic shades in Paris. For the house’s Haute Couture SS2025 show, the eponymous creative director chose to showcase the collection in Salle Pleyel, a music hall in the French capital’s 8th arrondissement designed by the iconic Modernist architect, Le Corbusier.

Origins.
FROM JOSÉPHINE BAKER TO BRANCUSI
Spring-Summer 2025 Haute Couture Collection

How two beings conquered the world with their freedom of expression. Pioneers and avant-garde figures; Joséphine dances and sings, Brancusi sculpts and Paris is set ablaze.

They both took their art to its most fundamental essence. Joséphine sublimated the body and set it free, Constantin revealed primary forms and polished bronze to reveal all its light. Cubism combined with curves, Joséphine become a work of art, and Brancusi a pioneer of abstract sculpture.

It is from this union of spirits and forms that my vision comes to life and gives birth to the collection. The shoulder is bold, powerful, the spirit is free, an affirmation of self. Reimagined tuxedo in black gazar and ebony satin. White tunic with golden vines embroidery falling on the legs. Cape dress in white crepe or cubic sweater in Brancusi embroidered wool gazar. Transparency celebrates the movement of the body. Bark chiffon dress with embroidery in ebony and crystal. Giant tunic in brown gauze embroidered with topaz and rosewood. Scarified leather sweater paired with a pleated brown organza skirt.

Generous handfuls of burned feathers cover a satin vest and the oversized collar of a jumpsuit.

Layered organza pleats in kinetic movement embrace the body. Joséphine dances again. Free.

Warmth meets coolness. Wood is embroidered on silver lamé gazar and velvet, while the gleaming gold of the chestplate jewelry references THE BIRD, the supreme masterpiece of Constantin Brancusi. Stéphane Rolland
