Anteprima SS25: Embracing Humanity and Nature. 

The collection drew inspiration from the concept of “Anima," (Latin word and was originally used to describe ideas such as breath, soul, spirit) which explore the interplay between humans and the natural world.

Anteprima featured the Artist Mika Tajima as her artwork and philosophy gave Izumi the inspiration and idea for her spring-summer 25 collection. Mika Tajima's art, expressed through sculpture, painting, and installation, explores themes of control, performance, and freedom.

A mix of flowing silhouettes, draped fabrics and structured pieces, blending femininity with transparency played between seen and unseen and gradation color.

The designer embraced soothing color palettes that evoke a sense of comfort and balance. But also warm, vibrant tones which supported the creative, crafted mood of this trend by the nostalgic refreshing blues of coastal references.
