Malan Breton unveiled his Spring/Summer 2025 collection at New York Fashion Week, weaving themes of betrayal, revenge, and hope into an unforgettable runway show. Drawing inspiration from 19th and 20th-century fairy tales, Breton’s collection featured powerful, flowing silhouettes crafted from leather, silk, lightweight wools, and silk brocades—hallmarks of his renowned tailoring skills. Models were accessorized with the Ladies Coutura Collection watches by Seiko Watch of America.

Breton himself composed the show’s soundtrack, which was deejayed by Zeke Thomas, son of NBA legend Isiah Thomas. Held in New York City and presented by EPNFW, the event featured a hair team led by celebrity stylist Marco Maranghello and a beauty team led by Emmy-nominated artist Vincenza Carovillano. The show closed with a standout appearance by model Elton Ilirjani.
