Harris Reed with a Structural and Dramatic Collection for Fall 2025
For Fall 2025, Harris Reed once again made a bold and theatrical statement with a collection presented in the grand Duveen Galleries of the Tate Britain. This season, the British-American designer drew inspiration from interior architecture and furniture, transforming femininity through structured and enveloping silhouettes.
The show opened with Florence Pugh, who stunned in a striking hooded corset gown adorned with golden spikes, embodying the presence of an oracle. Set to a string arrangement of Metallica, the collection unfolded in a color palette dominated by black and gold, accented with cobalt blue and red.
Through architectural silhouettes and avant-garde designs, Reed explored themes of rage and fragility, blending elements of protection and vulnerability. Exposed crinolines, metal cages, and corsets with 3D-printed details embodied his vision of fashion as a powerful tool for self-expression. “Every look claims its space,” Reed stated, reinforcing his belief in fashion as a form of empowerment.
Craftsmanship took center stage, from voluminous hoop skirts and tailored jackets with strategic cutouts revealing delicate embroidered flowers to corsets adorned with gold leaf. In collaboration with British furniture brand Porta Romana, Reed integrated sharp, sea urchin-inspired spikes made from flexible resin, adding an innovative and three-dimensional effect.
Balancing sophistication with avant-garde aesthetics, Reed presented a collection that, while retaining its signature drama, embraced a more refined approach. Designed for both high fashion and the red carpet, his work reaffirms his commitment to a style that merges art, rebellion, and functionality, supported by a predominantly female and queer team.
