For Fall/Winter 2025, côte&ciel draws inspiration from the life and work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a French aviator and philosopher. The collection is named Stratus' and it continues the brand’s exploration of texture and form.
The silhouettes incorporate aviation elements while maintaining a balance of fluidity and structure. Signature pieces like the ORNE and HYCO S retain their bomber jacket-inspired details, while new additions, such as the MINHO weekender duffle and the YALU backpack, emphasize innovation in both texture and form. Notably, the UVA crossbody offers adaptable versatility.
côte&ciel utilized innovative and performance-driven fabrics in its Antoine de Saint-Exupéry-inspired capsule. The Carbon, Onyx, and Cargo Green nylons offer both elegance and durability while also delivering water resistance.
