It’s water. Something utterly pure, something sincere. This is the essence of Niccolò Pasqualetti’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection—a fluid exploration of opposites, contradictions, and quiet luxury. Each piece of the collection carries an air of poetic tension, where subtlety and spectacle coalesce, creating a dance between the masculine and feminine, the structured and unrestrained.
Imagine a seashell, an unassuming memento of a summer’s day at the beach, now transformed into a statement accessory. It dangles on a long metal chain, draped across a garment with effortless ease. Pasqualetti’s designs draw inspiration from such simplicity, imbuing everyday objects with deeper meaning. Found items, like shells or alabaster trinkets, become part of the narrative, integrated into clothing and accessories in unexpected ways. These are no longer mere objects but relics that carry the whisper of memories.
The collection feels like an unplanned moment, where layers of geometric lace embroidery mimic the collage of experience. Swimsuits peek out from beneath structured outerwear, their sleek silhouettes juxtaposed against the intricacy of lace, while wet hair offers a glimpse of imperfection. This nonchalant, almost accidental chic speaks to a carefree spirit—the wearer who arrives at a garden party, intoxicated by the rich perfumes in the air, the colors of the sunset, and the grandeur of those around her. Sequins sparkle like sunlight on water, both large and reflective or small and light-absorbing, while at times they mix with feathery fringes, creating a dreamlike, chimeric texture that feels alive.
There’s a sense of ease and spontaneity in how Pasqualetti wraps a silk twill scarf around the waist, cinched with an embossed leather belt. Animal prints meet classic tailoring. A dress folds like the wings of a small bird, soft yet structured, and grounded by the unexpected addition of your husband’s derbies. The balance between masculine and feminine is ever-present, as pieces begin with rugged, earthy textures—leather layered over linen—but transform into something lighter, a delicate transparency of silk mesh, swirling and flowing away from the body in loose, almost ethereal curls.
This is not just fashion; it’s a feeling—a delicate equilibrium between hard and soft, simple and extravagant. Beads appear like drops of dew, collected on garments or dangling from earrings, their purity echoing in every detail. Each look reflects a careful, almost tender orchestration of gestures—never too much, always just enough.
In this collection, Pasqualetti plays with the risk of excess but never crosses the line. His looks, composed of oversized trench coats, translucent trousers layered over classic slacks, and asymmetric evening gowns, manage to be dramatic yet restrained. Dresses constructed from shirts, swimsuits under tailored tops, and a mix of artisanal fabrics—everything feels unconventional yet perfectly balanced. Earrings crafted from tendrils of rock crystal, amethyst, and onyx resemble elegant sea creatures, further evoking the connection to nature and fluidity.
Niccolò Pasqualetti’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection isn’t just about fashion—it’s about purity and transformation, weaving together memories, contradictions, and moments of breathtaking beauty. This is a collection that invites you to embrace simplicity while reveling in the details, to find yourself enchanted by the elegance of contrasts.
