Whisper of the Tides capsule collection
On the 13th of September, devoted followers of the latest fashions lined up to catch the London-debut capsule collection to drop in the heart of the iconic city. The London Fashion Week runway show was held in an industrial warehouse, sparsely outfitted to enhance the sculptural pieces that walked the runway.
VICETA WANG’s refreshing Spring Summer 2025 collection is inspired by the ocean tides and their powerful currents. Subtly telling a story of the rhythms of the sea, a metaphor for life’s ebb and flow.

Life is constantly changing and shaping us. Its true beauty lies in a dance of calm and storm, painting the journey of renewal. Nature has a way of reflecting our life’s journey, connecting our changing worlds and evoking memories of our time in the ocean, becoming one with it.
The ‘Whispers of the Tides’ collection narrates this nostalgic journey, with pearl embellishment as the key motif throughout the collection. The distinct placement of the pearls depict ocean currents that the moon pulls into unique patterns.

The Full Moon dress, pictured in a silk-wool dusty blue, represents new beginnings. The dress’ voluminous skirt portrays a pronounced moon-esque shape, and the bodice’s intricate pattern exhibits a foamy shoreline dancing to the rhythms of the moon.

Continuing the cool tonal palette, the silver-blue coat shows the pull and retreat of the waves on the sand. Protruding from the hips, the pearl-studded side panels plunge down the length of the coat, just as the tides pull and push the shoreline in and out.

The colour palette takes inspiration from the ocean’s hues. Tidal blues introduce the collection and we end on an ombre set that was inspired by the lustrous mother-of-pearl, hidden inside seashells. An embroidered capelette outlines the shape of a seashell that follows the whims of the waves, closing the capsule collection.
As the tide rises and falls, so do the chapters of our lives.
It's nature's reminder of life's flow.
