DRESSED IN THE DARK: Fall Trendtorial 2025


Creative Direction, Styling and Words by Anna Jara.

Inside-out, upside-down, and all-turned-around: clothes are being worn in every direction but how they were intended. Viktor & Rolf’s Spring 2023 Couture runway had every media outlet in a chokehold. Creative Directors Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren sent models down the runway in gowns flipped upside down, sideways, and even diagonally. The admiration was loud as someone who’d need a truck labeled “WIDE LOAD” behind me to pull off one of those looks. Natasha Zinko’s Pre-Fall 2025 show was another notable collection, showcasing backwards blazers and button-downs. And of course, the unforgettable Maison Margiela Fall 2023 R-T-W show, where everything looked kind of normal but also not. The moral of the story is that fashion is disoriented—and deliberately so.

Even off the runway, stylists and civilians are twisting, flipping, and inverting garments. Why? Because in a world where the trend cycle moves at breakneck speed and everyone’s wearing the same “it” items, individuality has become harder to come by. So people are pushing further styling things the “wrong” way to stand out, even if they’re still wearing the same clothes as everyone else. The rebellion isn’t in what you wear anymore, it’s in how you wear it.

So, flip around that blazer. Wear your skirt as a shirt. And, yes, wear that sh*t backwards.
