Chopova Lowena’s Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection, titled “Kiss My Butterfly,” showcased a vibrant and eclectic array of designs at London Fashion Week. The collection drew inspiration from two seemingly disparate sources: early 20th-century female aviators and the 1980s acid house party movement12.
Key Themes and Motifs
- Aviation Influence: Inspired by pioneering female aviators like Tiny Broadwick, the collection incorporated elements of bomber jackets and pinafores1.
- Rave Culture: The designers blended 1980s acid house aesthetics, featuring neon shades, mini dresses, and cardigans12.
- Butterfly Symbolism: Butterflies emerged as a central motif, representing freedom, transformation, and bravery. They appeared on kiss-lock fastenings, beaded embellishments, and hand-crocheted details2.
Notable Designs
- Bodices adorned with colorful beads and badges
- Paneled puffer jackets with silver ornaments
- Faux fur accents on hoodies and wide-leg trousers
- Pleated skirts paired with perforated leather belts
- Garments featuring crochet and vibrant butterfly motifs1
Styling and Accessories
The collection embraced a “more is more” philosophy, combining:
- Neon plastic beads
- Rave badges stacked like festival wristbands
- Clear belts on signature carabiner skirts
- Jeans and wool topcoats splashed with pins and patches2
Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena’s ability to blend diverse inspirations into wearable, sought-after garments was on full display. Their creative process involves aligning images and discovering unexpected connections, often sourced from vintage folklore books and online communities1.
The collection’s exuberant and fearless approach to design stands in stark contrast to any notion of austerity, celebrating self-expression and the joy of fashion12.
