Brave models exposed everything in nothing but chainmail during one of London Fashion Week's most daring shows. While most of us are thinking of covering up as summer quickly fades away, it appears that the fashion world is urging us to strip off ready for next year, if the bi-annual celebration of couture on the catwalk is anything to go by. For haute couture fashion brand Helen Anthony's SS25 collection, chainmail dresses that unleash nipples, cheeks and never ending thighs prove to be popular.
In spectacular fashion, the showcase of Naeem Anthony's (designer of the brand) collection on Friday (13 September) at the fancy Kimpton Fitzroy hotel in London revealed what we should expect to see on-trend for next year. Chain mail dresses are making a resurgence as Helen Anthony's collection featured several pieces of the medieval-cum-catwalk design. The models practically bared-all, showing off their nipples and bum cheeks in the stylish thong underneath.
While flashing your bare baps might not be approved of in public, it shows that Spring/Summer 2025 will be one to test the boundaries of skin-flashing fits. Tartan was also a standout pattern featured in the collection - but with a cheeky couture twist. Models rocked tartan trench coats with broad shoulders, exaggerated collars and pops of colour.
Some pieces even featured cut-out sections to expose the hips. Other stand-out designs included extreme high-waisted body suits that created interesting silhouettes, aided by the colou.
