Harris Reed has never been shy of extravagance, and doesn’t hold back in the SS25 collection. Working as always with found materials, giving the vintage and unused a new found life, Reeds newest collection is nothing short of artistry.
With bunny ears protruding from shoulders and waistbands, a pastel colour palette and circus style stripes, Harris Reed has created a playful world that one can only compare to wonderland. Silhouettes feature exaggerated hips and nipped in waists through corsetry, oversized structured lapels, sculptural collars and crinolines, to create architectural shapes that are contrasted with the fluidity of generous drapery, flowing skirts and delicate fabrics. True to the Harris Reed style, the collection remains strong and edgy in its silhouettes and grandeur (a notorious aspect of the brand), but with more of an ethereal, soft and whimsical feel than we are perhaps used to seeing from the brand.
To compliment the wonderland world felt through Harris Reed’s designs was the beauty crafted by none other than Sofia Tilbury. With porcelain doll lips, 50s twiggy eyelashes, and 90s pale blue and orange eyeshadow, the whimsical and ethereal make up perfectly complemented the playful collection.
