H&M’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, unveiled on March 20, 2025, celebrates femininity through a bohemian-meets-rock lens, blending nostalgic design with modern confidence. The campaign features musicians Tyla, FKA twigs, and Caroline Polachek, who embody the collection’s ethos of freedom and self-expression.
Bohemian Nostalgia Meets Urban Edge
The first drop of the two-chapter collection merges “ethereal bohemia” with rock ‘n’ roll flair, designed for festival-goers and city dwellers alike. Key pieces include:
- Sheer blouses and lace-up tunics with ornate collar detailing
- Crocheted dresses, laser-cut pleated skirts, and studded leather jackets
- Accessories like snake-print slippers, boho shoulder bags, and antique-style jewelry
Design Director Eliana Masgalos describes the inspiration as a mix of “glam rock musicians, New Romantic styling, and the richness of femininity,” aiming to create pieces that evoke “escape and energy”.
