Wild Rose & Sparrow put on a beautifully whimsical show during Paris Fashion Week to showcase the new looks for the Spring/Summer 2025 season. It led with an enchanting ballet dance by Académie Danse Paris and took place at the Historic Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell. The sustainable brand delivers a range of feminine silhouettes and explores the boundless power that lies in self-expression and female confidence.
The runway show was presented in a three-act show starting with the aforementioned live performance before welcoming the looks to follow. The co-founder and head designer at the brand shares, “Our SS25 collection 'Nuit au Ballet' is inspired by our love for ballet, a facet that has been deeply rooted in our brand's identity. Our collection is divided into three 'Acts', each one inspired by a different ballet that we've loved forever: 'Coppélia', 'La Sylphide', and 'Midsummer Night's Dream'. The pieces in each Act pay homage to these ballets and feature layers of tulle in Romantic Style tutus, intricate laced corsets, and heavily embroidered and sequined gowns, bringing these ballets to life in our vision."
