Hed Mayner‘s Spring-Summer 2025 collection is a bold declaration of tension and release, mirroring the pent-up energy of a carbonated drink moments before it erupts. This season, Mayner delves into a radical examination of exaggerated and redefined proportions, challenging his usual refined pattern-making practices. The outcome swathes the wearer in garments featuring exaggerated shoulders and voluminous trousers, exploring contradictions in both their creation and the resultant attire. Photographer Borislav Utjesinovic captured a backstage glimpse at the show, exclusively for DSCENE Magazine.

The focus shifts from conventional tailoring to the alchemic potential of textiles, utilizing a varied palette of materials—coated, matte, shiny, bonded, and foiled—to construct self-supporting, sculptural forms. These garments, layered and merged through zippers and strategic draping, embody a statuesque, crisp aesthetic. The innovative use of fabric manipulation—such as pinching, securing, and structuring with belts, buckles, and cuffs—injects a dynamic, sculptural grace into each piece.
The footwear collaboration with Reebok introduces a unique fusion of cross-training and basketball styles. The Reebok LTD Blacktop and the Reebok LTD Classic Leather Premium are reinterpreted with sponge materials, enhancing the collection’s textural narrative. The provocative use of a wood piece as footwear further emphasizes Mayner’s innovative approach to materials and design. Hed Mayner’s Spring-Summer 2025 collection is an exploration of form and function, where textiles don’t just clothe but narrate, and proportions are not just seen but felt, establishing a series of garments that are as statuesque as they are kinetic, as abstract as they are intentional.
