JordanLuca Spring/Summer 2025 is a ballet and a clash – traditions are considered, but not bound by truth.
A collection by Jordan Bowen and Luca Marchetto.
JordanLuca Spring/Summer 2025 is a ballet and a clash – traditions are considered, but not bound by truth. Emotions are abundant, but are manufactured.
It is a dance between the ethereal grace of the ballerina, and the stark, synthetic world that revolves around her.
But in this collection, desires are captured in plastic forever.
The result sees the brand expand on its signature duality: while the ballerina dances for her and herself only, the JordanLuca man is the embodiment of unambiguous sexual desire.
An idea of what is real and what is not is cemented in the frequent use of synthetic appliqués. The raw beauty of the ballet is likened to that of a rose, casting it in 3D-printed resin so that love is ever-lasting.
Jordanluca
It is about lust and wanting. Evolution. Timelessness. A story of contradictions unfolds – the idea of the ballerina’s tutu is ravaged in black. Duchess Silk is rich in opulence, but conflicted by the pairing of thigh-hugging lycra.
Feelings of luxury are fragmented. Silk blends are glazed in plastic, as are signature denim, tailoring, and outerwear pieces. The paradox of Japanese Tweed is the man’s ticket to peacocking; cropped, boxy, shoulder-padded jackets with antique-effect metal buttons and slithers of shimmer offer hope – zippered functionality is, elsewhere, pragmatic.
JordanLuca sets ornamental black lace in a veil of silver foil, and laminates men’s Halter Neck tops in metallics. In doing so, a dichotomy of societal expectations against freedom is studied. In a world where nothing lasts forever, SS25 captures an ephemeral rawness.
Hedonistic floral dresses are hand-torn and re-pleated, blazers consume the body, and parkas are plastic-coated to protect.
The SS25 collection is accented by elongated black leather pumps and slanted harnessed kitten heel boots for men. Three sizes of the JordanLuca Gotham Bag and a Weekender are sexed up in crocodile-effect leather, laminated florals, and Italian suedes.
JordanLuca SS25 studies the concept of savage intimacy. Two seemingly separate worlds are fused into one disturbed, confrontational image.

JordanLuca Mini Gotham Bag SS25 See Now Buy Now
At the Spring/Summer 2025 show in Milan on June 15, JordanLuca introduced a new line of Gotham Bags, available now exclusively on JordanLuca.com.
The See Now Buy Now concept invites the audience to own a part of the JordanLuca SS25 story. In a world where nothing lasts forever, SS25 captured an ephemeral rawness that requires us to act now – to enjoy what we have while we still can.
Much like SS25’s 3D-printed resin floral corsages, the bags – while available today – are ever-lasting. Designed in London and made in Italy, the JordanLuca Gotham Bag collection is positioned as an elevated everyday essential.
Using Italian leathers, the Gotham Bag arrives in one Mini size, in either “Olympus Black,” “Portofino Beige,” “Predator Ochre,” “Predator Brown,” “Olympus Yellow,” “Olympus Blue,” and “Laminated Rose Fil Coupé,” the latter of which uses a special jacquard threading technique that is overlaid with plastic.
Each is fitted with JordanLuca’s signature spike hardware, finished in silver chrome metal, as well as matching buckles that emulate those of a belt. Straps, designed to hang low from the body of the bag, are adjustable to offer multiple styles of wear across the body, over the shoulder, or in the hand.
The JordanLuca Gotham Bag arrives in its Mini form today, with other sizes dropping later this year as part of a global Fall/Winter 2024 release.
£495 GBP each.
