The Garment’s Charlotte Eskildsen began this season’s design process in the medieval village of Haut-de-Cagnes, in the south of France, where she has a second home. “You get a feeling of something a little romantic there,” the designer said in a preview.
That mood is evident in her collection, which possessed a certain lightness of touch. Eskildsen was inspired by vintage fabrics that she collected at local flea markets, which she translated into doily apron tops and scallop-hemmed separates. Meanwhile, the Mediterranean sea was a key inspiration for the color palette: the final look comprised a floaty blue dress, worn over trousers, that blew in the wind in the courtyard of Copenhagen’s Thorvaldsens Museum (the same style also came in white and lime green).
While The Garment’s boyish minimalist staples were what first caught the eye of the Scandi fashion set, Eskildsen—whose co-founder Sophia Roe stepped down from the brand last season— leaned further into the feminine for spring 2025, not only via fluid dresses, but also the draped coats and sheer suiting. There was a levity about this collection, which would look just as good on vacation in France as on the cobbled streets of Copenhagen, that we could all use in our lives right now.
