NYFW: Alexis Bittar's Fall 2025 Collection
At New York Fashion Week, Alexis Bittar transported us into an imaginative, future-forward realm with his debut Fall 2025 collection presentation—a dynamic performance that blurred the lines between nostalgia and futurism. Hosted at Performance Space NY, this exclusive showcase not only revealed his latest jewellery and handbag creations but invited us into an immersive world crafted entirely by him.
Drawing inspiration from the bold, energetic aesthetics of the 80s and 90s, Alexis envisioned a striking fusion with a futuristic world set in 2050. This collection is an extension of his visionary “Bittarverse” — a conceptual universe where reality meets technology, and ageism, sexism, and social isolation are explored through stunning wearable art. The jewellery and accessories presented in this collection are not mere adornments, but elements that evoke powerful emotional responses, connecting us to a time when the past was new, and the future still held infinite possibilities.
The performance was an evocative meditation on beauty, ageing, and isolation in a world increasingly shaped by technology. We were introduced to a woman at her vanity, not gazing into a mirror, but into a portal that beckoned us into an unknown future. This woman, adorned in intricate designs, moved with quiet precision as her robots glided around her, performing domestic rituals with eerie grace. The atmosphere buzzed with fragmented radio signals, reminiscent of a fading world that once was. Alone yet content, the woman embodied a paradox: is her solitude a consequence of technological progress, or is it a choice by design?
The collection encapsulated this liminal space, where the past and future exist in tension. The juxtaposition of vintage opulence and speculative futurism created a compelling narrative, where old-world wealth and modern innovation collide. The future, as envisioned by Alexis, is not one of abandonment, but rather one where technology intertwines with beauty, nostalgia, and individual empowerment.
Through this striking presentation, Alexis Bittar offers a glimpse into a potential future that is both a dystopian fantasy and a dream of possibility—a space where beauty transcends time, and where fashion reflects the complex interplay of the past, present, and future. The collection is not just a vision; it’s a statement about where we’ve been, where we are, and where we might be headed.
