Creative Director Kristoffer Kongshaug drew inspiration from 1920s French illustrations and 1990s minimalism, resulting in a collection where strict tailoring met flowing silhouettes. Signature ascot collars, extended cuffs, and structured inserts created striking contrasts, reinforcing the theme of juxtaposition.A refined color palette emphasized intricate craftsmanship, while standout pieces, such as a knee-length faux fur coat with a tip-dye ombré effect in black, cream, and red, added depth. A floor-length skye blue gown with a triangular front insert and dramatic draped back embodied both architectural precision and softness.Textiles played a crucial role, incorporating wool, twill, stone-washed jersey, and faux leather. Pipe pleating on dresses and skirts emphasized craftsmanship, while draped suit pants created a layered skirt effect, blending structure with movement. Custom brushed steel hardware, developed with German brand Fidlock, lent an industrial edge.
The show’s atmosphere was further enhanced by a fast-paced, futuristic soundtrack featuring tracks from Space 92 and Plastikman, complementing the collection’s forward-thinking energy. Understated beauty and voluminous hair, styled by Mads Stig, allowed the garments to take center stage.With a setting carved deep into the urban landscape, Forza Collective’s FW25 presentation symbolized transformation—where heritage meets modernity, and the old is reborn through innovation.
