SS25: The Revival Moment Of Mod
The inspiration for SS25 fashion ultimately came down to observing things that had happened, then adding a few elements, or simply fixing them. This event is seen as nostalgia, just like when we look back at the euphoria of 'mod' around the 1960s itself. Mod is just a short word, even though the whole word is Modernist. The concept of Mod refers to the intense relationship between fashion and music. Objectively, it can refer to events or people who were famous in that year. Mary Quant is a fashion designer who can absorb the circumstances and conditions in the 1960s, so that finishing appears with a sharper selection of stitches, geometric patterns (original circles and squares), and the appearance of bright colors.
Just look at one of Michael Kors' collections, the design still features a round-necked mini dress, where the round shape is the geometry of the Mod concept. The choice of white is also a basic principle of the Mod concept. From the two basic elements of Mod, it can also be seen that the floral motifs that are designed still form a geometric circle pattern. Also not spared for the stitching, and here, especially on the hem, using a sharp stitching pattern. Meanwhile, the raffia bag, sandals decorated with raffia, have a rectangular pattern for each piece. And also not spared still have a character with bright colors, namely white.
Another creation from Christian Dior, just carrying two clear and bright colors, namely black and white. Then the double-breasted short coat, equipped with black circle-shaped buttons. Black and white stripes on one shoulder, in the form of vertical striped patterns, which are basically rectangular. Short but wide sleeves, this is done so that the geometric shape remains in all parts of the outfit, as an emphasis on the Mod concept. For knee-length boots, white vertical stripes are added. So, there is a very clear unity of the Mod concept in this Christian Dior SS25 collection.
What about Nina Ricci in this SS25? Present with a white short coat design, with the selection of the letter A structure, where the letter A is a combination of geometry, two diagonal lines flanking one horizontal line. In addition, there is also the placement of black framing, so that it looks boxy, precisely rectangular, which shows the geometric identity of the Mod concept itself. Leather gloves, head coverings, buttons, high heels, all of which are black, as a complement to the Mod icon.
