NYFW Recap Part 1: SLOAN’s Debut Captures The Complexities of Femininity

Ready-to-wear brand SLOAN debuts their inaugural presentation at New York Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2025.

SLOAN debuts their Fall/Winter 2025 collection at NYFW.

Nature is our clue into how we, as women, blend softness and structure into our lives. In all the beauty and divinity we create and witness, there is an unshakable harshness that exists in life and, to an extent, must be tolerated: desolation, double-standards, disappointments…Writers such as Annie Ernaux, Maria Popova and Dana Brewer Harris, who embody divine femininity through their creative voices and vulnerability, help me find strength in words. In fashion, emerging designers like Julia Sloan, who find inspiration in nature, help me find strength in style.

This season, Mexico City- and Paris-based brand SLOAN debuted at New York Fashion Week to showcase their fall/winter 2025 collection. The event, held in a suite at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad, featured hors d’oeuvres and champagne:

The ready-to-wear collection, inspired by the shell which embodies strength and the feminine spirit, reflected themes of balance, resilience and divinity:

To me, this event and collection screamed divine feminine. It brought on a feeling that can only come from being around women who understand who they are, their beauty and what they represent. It juxtaposed ethereal essence and structured silhouettes in a way that felt powerful, and I am still feeling the echoes.
