Ester Manas Spring Summer 2025 collection. Paris, 25th September.
Words by Adam Chan.
The Ester Manas Spring Summer 2025 collection titled "The Elephant in the Room" took place at the iconic Palais de Tokyo. True to its name, the runway featured an actual elephant statue, bringing a playful and bold presence to the venue. The oversized sculpture reflected the collection’s unapologetic embrace of body positivity and inclusivity, two signature elements of the brand.
The collection's blend of delicate ruffles / tulles jackets created an ethereal contrast with the boldness of the collection’s statement-making designs. The intricate prints and the use of delicate fabrics like lace and tulle gave the pieces a touch of fragility, but their construction spoke of strength and empowerment. Ester Manas is known for their inclusive sizing, and this season was no exception, with models of various body types proudly walking down the runway in empowering silhouettes.
From the seductive faux fur pieces evoking femmes fatales to the trompe-l'Å“il prints and expertly embossed leathers, the collection was a celebration of contrasts. The inclusion of Chantelle X lingerie, beautifully worked into the garments, added a sensual layer to the already powerful lineup. The elephant might have been in the room, but it was impossible to ignore the vibrant spirit of this collection.
