The Dennis Basso Spring Summer 25 runway show, held at 583 Park Avenue, showcased a collection that championed women of all ages. With a vision centered on the modern, multi-generational woman, Basso used fashion to break free from traditional age-related boundaries. The event featured a diverse audience, including notable celebrities like Susan Lucci, Allison Holker, and Kathy Hilton, among others.
For the upcoming season, Dennis Basso collaborated with QVC to spotlight the concept of “The Age of Possibility.” This partnership emphasized QVC’s commitment to women over 50, a demographic often overlooked in the fashion industry. Together, they presented a curated experience for women who, in Basso’s view, should not be restricted by age. The focus was on celebrating confidence, self-expression, and a boundless sense of style, with QVC being a platform to bring this vision to life.
Basso’s inspiration drew from scenes of summer, where grandmothers, mothers, and daughters were seen enjoying their time together at scenic resorts across the Mediterranean. Whether lounging by the water or engaging in outdoor activities, these women radiated a sense of freedom and joy. The collection encapsulated this energy with its flowing fabrics and light textures.
The collection presented a wide variety of luxurious fabrics, including light tweed, silk jacquard, chiffon, and embroidered lace. These materials were paired with tailored silhouettes like single- and double-breasted jackets, straight-leg trousers, and wide-leg hostess pants. The evening looks featured pleated chiffon cocktail dresses and gowns that added a sense of fluidity and elegance to the collection. Faux fur cropped jackets and petal ruffle boleros completed the ensembles.
Color also played a big role in the collection, with a palette that included pale mint, sky blue, coral, and cream. These shades are paired with accents of gold, silver, and sequins. A standout moment in the show came when award-winning actress Susan Lucci graced the runway during the finale, wearing a couture gown designed especially for her by Basso.
