Kith presented its Fall 2025 collection with its first runway in six years, choosing the streets of New York City’s NoHo neighborhood as the stage. Positioned outside its newly renovated flagship store, the show marked the debut of “INSTITUTION,” a wide-ranging line designed by Ronnie Fieg. The setting underscored the energy of Manhattan, where fashion intersects with daily movement and constant activity.
The collection spanned multiple categories, beginning with patterned sportswear and logo-driven performance shirts. Denim tracksuits extended the brand’s use of familiar textiles, while oversized jackets paid homage to New York’s legendary teams, the Yankees, Knicks, and Giants. These pieces carried a sense of local identity, suited for the pace and unpredictability of a day in the city.
Alongside the sportswear, Fieg revived &Kin, Kith’s elevated line for reimagined classics. This portion of the collection reinforced the designer’s interest in tailoring and refined everyday staples. K-Tech, the imprint that sits between lifestyle and performance, also expanded with new designs. To round out the apparel, the show introduced suede monogram bags rendered in a spectrum of tones, from muted “Incognito” to the fiery “Magma.” Each colorway brought range and variety while staying rooted in Fieg’s language of utility-driven luxury.
Footwear played a key role in the presentation. Fieg delivered a new Black Tie Superstar, extending his adidas collaborations with a refreshed take on the classic sneaker. Birkenstock also entered the lineup through the Braided Boston, while a new running silhouette added depth to the performance offering. Kith’s 8th St Wallabee Collection, created with adidas Originals and Clarks Originals, returned as part of the mix. The footwear emphasized wearability, making sure that design stayed tied to the reality of New York movement.
The overall mix of prep influences and athletic references defined the show’s rhythm. Sweaters and sportswear coexisted with tailored layers and accessories, forming a wardrobe that addressed the spontaneity of city living. One sweater carried the phrase “New York to the World,” a direct signal of the collection’s connection to place.
Closing the show, musicians Gashi and Jimi Banks delivered an unscheduled performance that mirrored the collection’s spontaneity. Their presence turned the runway into a stage where music and fashion moved together, echoing the streets just beyond the audience.
