For Fall/Winter 2025-2026, Duran Lantink’s collection obliterates convention, distorting the human form with exaggerated foam padding, anatomical surrealism, and avant-garde subversion. A bold exploration of cosplay, self-expression, and the rejection of rigid beauty ideals, the collection thrives on provocation—shoulder lines extending beyond the ears, hip protrusions reshaping silhouettes, and metal bands suspending skirts in mid-air like floating sculptures.

Set against the backdrop of a partially renovated office space—where “employees” provided an eerie vocal soundscape—the presentation blurred the lines between performance art and fashion. Lantink revels in contradictions, fusing chaotic animal prints and camouflage with structured plaids and a subverted Barbour jacket, proving that even the most rebellious designs can find a place in everyday wardrobes.

Latex tops molded into hyper-stylized male torsos and exaggerated breasts bookended the collection, challenging gender binaries and embracing the body as an evolving, fluid canvas. In Lantink’s world, fashion is not about conformity—it is about the radical freedom to exist beyond expectation, beyond normativity, beyond fashion itself.
