This chronicle takes us to the darker and more fascinating side of the women who reigned on the Hollywood screen.
Its title, taken from the shocking headline in the New York Post following the tragic death of Grace Kelly, becomes the key to a collection that revives the sublime beauty of those stars of the Golden Age, whose glamorous lives ended up being as mythical as they were tragic.
In this way, the London-based designer who has made her way into the wardrobe of it-girls continues to explore the complexities of feminine maturity, but with a surprising twist. Here, the nostalgia of the 50s and 60s mixes with the boldness of a woman who knows what she wants, defying stereotypes with a retro yet fiercely modern elegance. It’s a nod to the unattainable perfection of those Hollywood goddesses – from Marilyn to Elizabeth Taylor – who, though iconic today, were trapped in overwhelming isolation back then.
This fascination with glamour and loneliness leads to the story of a suburban girl who, caught between her family’s expectations and an obsession with a world she never belonged to, begins to dream of escaping, through fashion, into her own reign.
The SS25 collection captures the contrast between innocence and the desire for premature maturity, a play on imagery where purity meets the temptation of the forbidden. Country club tweeds and embroidered monograms are paired with lace miniskirts and hotpants that redefine feminine power. Tailoring, while elegant, is worn in an unstructured way, with tights in the air, while baby doll-inspired dresses and exaggerated collars dialogue with a touch of pop nostalgia.
In addition, the nod to damsels in distress – with bird prints and gothic details – reminds us that danger and beauty have always been intertwined in this cult aesthetic. And to top it all off, the word ‘Goddesses’ is printed on pink silk, as a manifesto of the obsession with that immortal yet unreal beauty.
