Coach FW25 Is for the 'Kids'
On Monday afternoon, Coach made a grand return to the Park Avenue Armory for its Fall 2025 show, another New York City-inspired spectacle that looked Gen Z right in the eye. To the sounds of Brooklyn band Nation of Language, creative director Stuart Vevers’ latest fashion manifesto marched through the historic venue’s Wade Thompson Drill Hall, which had been Coach-ified with a false brick facade running around its perimeter, a herd of animal-shaped bags and massive coin purses mingling in its front row and flashing cameras targeting VIPs like JT, Halle Bailey and Olivia Ponton.On the runway, the brand’s youthful cast of kids could have been plucked off the Manhattan streets just outside, which was fitting considering the clothes they wore made real references to Kids, the famed David Lynch and Larry Clark film from 1995 (a Vevers favorite!). The fashion translation of the film—a drama spotlight on New York’s frantic street culture through the lens of rogue city-dwelling teenagers—included shrunken distressed leather flight jackets, rockstar cheetah coats, upcycled '90s-inspired denim, small graphic tops and big bulky trousers.“My vision for Fall was to ground the collection in all the things that make Coach so distinct as a fashion house: our heritage materials and palette, our commitment to repurposing and “re-loving” secondhand garments through craft, and our belief in the power of community and self-expression,” said Vevers.Argyle and Lurex knits became the newest members of Coach's cult-favorite knitwear category, while washed and worn-in hoodies, sweatshirts and T-shirts spoke for the label's penchant for comfort-first, city-ready pieces. Elsewhere, the brand's leather goods (including a new archive-inspired Twin Pocket Bag) appeared worn and decorated with stuffed animal charms, and fluffy slippers were often shaped like innocent bunnies—all nods to the designer’s children and their toys of choice.Vevers concluded, "There’s a clear, cohesive idea here in terms of materials, silhouette and styling, and that comes from knowing who we are and what we stand for.”See Coach's Fall/Winter 2025 collection in the gallery above, and stay tuned to Hypebeast for more New York Fashion Week coverage.
