Kendall Jenner shows off her slim waist in Schiaparelli in London Fashion Week
Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear Fashion Show
Kendall Jenner was one of the 46 models that walked in the Schiaparelli Spring-Summer 2025 show. Jenner stunned in a low-cut beige corset, with exaggerated boning to accentuate the waist, paired with black low-rise jeans, with a V-shaped waistband. The look was accessorised with asymmetric gold earrings, a gold shoulder bag and black sandal heels.
Each model, Jenner included, had matching, minimalistic hair and make-up. All of the models wore natural looking dewy makeup, highlighting their natural face shapes and complexions. The lack of excessive make-up made the models canvases for the designs they wore, rather than stylists focusing on the individual hair and make up of 46 models, the uniformity draws the eyes to the variety in the outfits that were on display.
The models with longer hair had it styled in a tight gel-slicked back bun, and the models with bobs had it styled slicked down the back of their necks. Some of the models with short hair, such as Awar Odhiang and Ajus Samuel, wore their natural short hair, fitting in with the minimal look of the other models.
The style of this show was tight fitting clothing, with each design in different ways accentuating the models waist, with some of the designs featuring figure hugging clothes with dramatic boning, or cinched corsets. Other designs featured cropped jackets and low-waist shorts, exposing the mid-section of the models.
Gold accessories were a prominent feature of the show. From jewellery, to bag handles to jacket buttons, golden accents were consistent throughout the show. As well as gold, a lot of the looks that walked wore asymmetrical earrings. Sometimes this was pairing an oversized earring with a more minimal style earring. There were also displays of different coloured earrings, like Angelina Kendall’s look, where she wore a large black pendant earring, styled with a wide gold hoop.
Zebra print was a recurring feature of the show, appearing in six of the looks. Two of these looks had the zebra print as the main feature of the design. The matching hooded jacket and trousers worn by Vivienne Rohner was fully zebra print, with a white hood and undercoat, accessorised with circular zebra print earrings and silver molded loafers.
The design that stood out the most of the show was the eleventh look modeled by Rejoice Chuol. Chuol wore a bold red piece, which had a poncho silhouette on the torso, that tied around her waist in a mini-skirt style, with the excess material overlying the skirt, vertically hanging down in front of her legs. The collar of the poncho stood upright, with an oversized silver zip running from the top of the design down to the waist. The stylist, Malina Joseph Gilchrist had Chuol wear a pair of black tinted sunglasses with a red frame, and silver heels. The minimal accessorising accentuates the boldness of this piece, and does not allow for the eyes to be deterred by any distractions, and the focus remains on the red design. The sunglasses and heels compliment the design without distracting from it.
Schiaparelli artistic director Daniel Roseberry described his designs as “Future vintage”, and that the incredibly tight fit of the clothes was intentional. Roseberry became the artistic director of Schiaparelli in 2019, succeeding Bertrand Guyon. Roseberry wanted to take the design of Schiaparelli in a more eccentric direction, which the Prêt-à-porter collection demonstrates perfectly. Roseberry said he was inspired by every woman in his life, and he wanted to design a line “Not just for the clients, but for their daughters and granddaughters”. These designs are from a ready to wear collection, meaning the design and size that the models wear are realistically the only body type that would be able to wear this line.
Schiaparelli founder, Elsa Schiaparelli created the House in 1927, but due to a lack of financial success, in 1954 Elsa decided to close her brands clothes line. Three years later, Elsa launched a new company for her perfumes, which was later bought in 2007 by Diego Della Valle. Once the business had been acquired in the 2000s, the fashion ideas were brought back to the table, and in the early 2010s, Marco Zanini created his first collection for them in 2014, the first one since 1954.
