S.S.Daley SS25 Womenswear collection "No suffix, prefix or quotes" was inspired by the life, lovers, work and uniform of the British artist Gluck.

S.S. Daley & Gluck.

Sublime meets sublime. S.S. Daley (@ssdaley) meets the iconic British artist Gluck for the 2225 Womenswear collection—their first full collection, which debuted with a show at the London Fashion Week.

It's a meeting of two aesthetic icons: tailored and utilitarian, femme and elegance. As with all of Daley’s work, it’s about queering traditions, charm, individuality, detail, and the pleasure of wearing clothes. The results are, well, sublime. 

You can find the S.S.DALEY SS25 Womenswear playlist right here. These are songs that reflect the mood of the show, the mood of the studio working towards the show, team favorites, and songs that feel somehow connected to the research narrative. Enjoy.

The sharp edge of an era
