Florentina Leitner Fall 2025: Worth Probing
Florentina Leitner has become a specialist of tall tales and wacky delivery.
Take the seating plan at her fall presentation. Instead of assignments, guests at three separate shows were invited to pick a number from a jar, which directed them to a seat in the basketball stadium in the basement of the American Church in Paris.

From their courtside seats, they had a prime view of a fall collection in which the Antwerp-based Austrian designer told the story of alien college cheerleaders getting abducted by UFOs. There were also cows involved.
Long story short, there were plenty of catchy options worth abducting from a retail rack. They included a minidress that looked like a sweater with a wide pleated hem attached, sparkly oversized sweaters, a jacket shaped to look like a flying saucer and its capture beam, a hoodie with cow horns and a floor-length sports mesh hooded dress. Pompom clutches were par for the course.
While the ensembles leaned toward the quirky, there are signs that the Florentina Leitner girl is maturing. Take the tailored slacks with a gradient of dot appliqués, which could teleport to the office.
It’s a direction that should help the brand travel even farther.
