The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2025 - Issue 37

bitecatwalk OMNISS FASHION WEEK LONDON Spring/Summer 2025 A t a time when fashion swings between chaos and nostalgia, Omniss offers a steady, quiet strength. The London-based label returned to the catwalk with a refined yet resonant collec- tion. While minimalist on the surface, it was imbued with deeper meanings. Founded by Tanya Martin, the brand has established a reputation for its integrity in construction and message, emphasising women’s rights, sustainability, and aesthetic nuance. The label’s collections transcend clothing and explore the significance of wearing and who gets to wear them. This season, the Omniss woman appeared more resolved than ever. The tailoring was razor-sharp but never rigid: light- weight jackets grazed the waist, trousers that flowed like sculptural lines, and dresses that skimmed the body as if drawn in pencil. The colour palette was restrained, encom- passing bone, almond, soft stone, and the occasional navy or dark forest green. Yet, within that restraint, there was remarkable clarity—each detail displayed in the perfectly spaced pleats, clean darts, and deliberate fold. The control stood out most; everything felt intentional, with no excess or distraction. The pieces didn’t strive to impress; they existed beauti- fully. One standout look featured an off-white high-neck, sleeveless column dress with a single, fluid drape down one side as if the wind were gently pulling the wearer. Another model showcased a sleeveless trench-style vest cinched by a soft belt and structured culottes flared at the knee. It represented power dressing, but not in the traditional boardroom sense; it was for the woman who managed her time—subtle symbolic elements reemerged in this collection. Omniss is known for embedding messages with its de- signs, and this season was no exception. Seams referenced boundary lines, and overlapping panels evoked maps of conflict zones. There was a sense of crossing borders, expe- riencing displacement, and finding stillness in motion—a quiet nod to refugee identity that has long been part of the brand’s DNA. The thoughtful fabric choices included organic cotton, recycled silks, and biodegradable knits. Sustainability wasn’t flaunted; it was seamlessly integrated throughout the collection, part of the clothing’s essence. The garments didn’t demand recognition for their ethics; they embodied them. The designs were not intended to steal the spotlight but to stand confidently on their own. This collection was a masterclass in message-driven elegance within a specta- cle-dominated industry. For women seeking clothing that reflects strength and femininity, this is where they will find it. https://omnissworld.com
