Saul Nash Takes Milan Fashion Week by Storm with His Metamorphosis-Inspired Collection
London designer Saul Nash, known for his innovative and movement-focused designs, made his highly anticipated debut at Milan Fashion Week on Sunday evening. The runway showcased his Fall/Winter 2025 collection, which was inspired by the concept of metamorphosis and Nash’s own personal transformation.
Backstage, Nash explained, “This collection looks at metamorphosis not only in the sense of transformation but also in the sense that I, myself, am metamorphosizing. I’m looking at movement from a much more holistic perspective.”
The collection featured a range of shape-shifting pieces, such as an oversized Bemberg™ cupro shirt that could be tied around the collar to change its silhouette, and a recycled nylon twill pullover jacket with a similar transformative feature. Leather coats were designed with ventilation holes in the underarms, allowing for a sleeveless option. Mesh hoodies could be converted into basketball jerseys, and pinstripe wool blazers had hidden zippers on the sleeves to transform into hoodies.
Nash’s collaboration with lululemon, called SLNSH, was also showcased at the show. The performance line, launching on March 11, featured form-flattering mesh running tops, lightweight nylon shorts, and versatile leather handbags that could be worn as a belt or carried by the handles. Nash explained, “Exploring performance in the space that it exists with a brand like lululemon and using materials that maybe I otherwise wouldn’t have access to – the process has opened doors for me to look at other ways to bring function into my work.”
Overall, Nash’s collection and collaboration with lululemon showcased his evolution as a designer and his willingness to push boundaries. As he stated, “It’s about having the permission to allow yourself to be free, to shed an old part of yourself.” With this collection, it’s clear that Nash’s butterfly is ready to spread its wings and take the fashion world by storm.
