Coach just gave us a lesson in how to remix the old with the new, and honestly, we’re taking notes. For Fall 2025, Stuart Vevers took over New York’s historic Park Avenue Armory again, transforming it into a dreamlike fashion space that felt both intimate and grand. The collection? A perfect balance of nostalgia, craftsmanship and downtown cool.
This season was all about embracing pieces that feel personal—those “forever” wardrobe staples that look even better with time. Oversized, ultra-baggy pants dominated the runway, draping effortlessly in denim, moleskin and suiting fabric. These were paired with shrunken T-shirts, cropped jackets and sweatshirts, serving up that perfect mix of relaxed and refined. The color palette stayed true to classic Coach energy—deep tans, slightly worn blacks and rich neutrals—while textures like metallic knits, leopard print and hand-beaded embellishments added just the right amount of edge.
Outerwear was a major moment, featuring everything from repurposed bombers to full-length shearling trenches and a statement faux leopard fur coat. The tailoring played with proportion—cropped blazers and vests gave traditional suiting a rebellious twist. Dresses pulled inspiration from the ’20s, featuring drop-waist silhouettes and vintage negligee details, proving that Vevers knows how to make delicate pieces feel effortlessly modern. And let’s talk about the coziness factor—worn-in sweatshirts, plush hoodies and fuzzy slippers channeled that “wrapped in nostalgia” energy.
Sustainability remained a core theme, with all jeans made from repurposed denim and a new “Loved Leather” treatment taking center stage in accessories. Speaking of bags, the Twin Pocket Bag made its runway debut, while the Brooklyn and Empire bags returned in fresh, compact proportions. The Bleecker Bucket Bag added a pop of color, and the Times Square Tabby sparkled with beaded vintage satin details. Footwear was just as playful—think Soho Sneakers in new finishes, stuffed animal-inspired slippers and block-heeled loafers.
With a live soundtrack from Brooklyn indie pop band Nation of Language setting the vibe, Coach’s Fall 2025 show felt like a love letter to heritage, self-expression and that effortlessly fly, worn-in look we all love. Vevers is making nostalgia feel fresh again—and we’re absolutely here for it.
