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. This collection is sure to appeal to consumers who appreciate sleek, functional designs with a nod to aviation and exploration.
