AW25 COLOUR GUIDE

As we are about to embark on an exciting AW25 season, Oldstrom has curated our very own colour guide inspired by WGSN x Coloro trend report for the season. 

The report highlights themes of wellness, sustainability, creativity and technology as consumer drivers of these colours. Our AW25 collections seamlessly incorporate the key colour themes identified by WGSN, reflecting the latest trends in a vibrant and cohesive palette. Now, let’s dive into how each piece embodies these carefully curated hues, bringing fresh energy and style to your buying selection this season.

 

FUTURE DUSK

Individuality protrudes as a key theme for 2025. Creative and innovative, Future Dusk brings a dynamic newness to the plate for this season. This colour “aligns with themes of moving from darkness to light, dusk to dawn, preparing us for new horizons”. This dreamscape palette adds a elegant and rich touch to our collections this season.

 

CELESTIAL YELLOW

With a new year presenting itself as a year full of optimism, it makes sense that our next key colour is celestial yellow. Proposing a glow of positive harmony, “it is reminiscent of the moon, the stars and the sun, and connects with the search for reassurance and guidance as people look to spirituality, astrology and astronomy in times of uncertainty”. Celestial yellow is most striking in our crystal accents from Caroline Svedbom’s Dreamscape collection, bringing bright hopeful energy to the new season.

 

CHEERY LACQUER

A maturing of the cherry red trend sees cherry lacquer manifesting in AW25. This powerful pantone has a more luxurious appeal with “a seductive quality that taps into our deepest desires, taboos and pleasures as a form of radical escapism and self-empowerment”. We’re irresistibly drawn to the rich allure of cherry lacquer, an undeniably captivating shade that adds depth and vibrancy to every piece in our collections.

 

TRANSFORMATIVE TEAL

Ending off with a colour that taps into the comfort of nostalgia. This teal blue evokes feelings of warmth and sentimentality, “it has an undercurrent of soft joy and innocence brought on by memories, aligning with the rise of kindults and nostalgic sentiments reimagined among Gen Z”. It is clear that this retro blue is emerging as a captivating standout in our AW25 collections, commanding attention with its bold and timeless allure.

STOCKING FILLERS

We all need a little TLC from time to time... and so does your VK Cashmere! Here's how

Delicate, warm and silky, wearing VK Cashmere feels like pure luxury and is. loved by many. But how can we return the same love back?

Cashmere is a type of wool which is extracted from the plush undercoat of the Kashmir goat, which is softer and finer than sheep’s wool. Due to the fact that these goats can only produce 4-6 ounces each year, cashmere has become very expensive and not as accessible.

Cashmere has natural antibacterial properties and may be easier to wash than you may think. However, it is always important to be patient and persevere with the process, in order to keep your Cashmere looking forever new. We tend to recommend you gently wash your cashmere knitwear after having worn it three or four times.

Here’s how to wash your cashmere in just a few simple steps…

  1. Hand wash the item in lukewarm water (we recommend 35 degrees). In regards to the detergent, we recommend using a cashmere shampoo. However, if this isn’t something you have access to, then a similar mild detergent will do the job just fine.

  2. Squeeze the suds gently through the fabric without rubbing or stretching the garment.

  3. Rinse thoroughly in water of the same temperature.

  4. Do not lift the garment while it is soaked with excess water, as this can cause the garment to change shape.

  5. Once you are done washing the garment, place it gently back into its original shape. Make sure to keep the garment flat on a towel and let it dry naturally. Do not ever tumble dry. In addition, we recommend keeping it far away from any direct heat such as radiators or direct sunlight.

  6. Finally, when the garment is dry, use a cool iron to press slightly over the garment.

And just like that, your cashmere will have the TLC it deserves!
