Spring-Summer 2025 Collection

HAUTE COUTURE WEEK

Haute Couture Week : Spring-Summer 2025

" V symbol of the sacred Feminine "

For the Spring Summer 2025 collection, Peet Dullaert continues a balance between boldness and fluidity, Preciosa crystal accents, and geometric lines. Entirely hand sewn creation : "cousu main', with a contemporary reality.

Details and drape accent vulnerable and delicate points of the body, attention to a personal interaction with the pieces. For example, creations cut to reveal a visible scapula, the shoulders. Preciosa crystals gracing the nape of the neck and the calves. These elements, in their subtlety, highlight the striking elegance of the body, as well as fragility.

“I felt the need for something very clear and sensitive, hyper solutions in the manipulation of sculptural shape, fabric and colour contrast. All together they add to the revelation of fragility that lies beyond the first glance.

Using fabrics known for their volume, such as pure silk taffeta's, and Gazar; originally invented for the master Cristóbal Balenciaga, Plissé, the lightness of Voile and Tulle, shaping them to work closely in synergy with the body, yet still allowing free movement that is so essential today. The cut and weave of these fabrics provided a beautiful way to honour the silhouette while creating a seemingly effortless construction.”

The collection also sees the return of Dullaert’s signature technique, used to construct layers of fluid fabrics like Silk Crêpe Georgette together, suggesting one bonded fabric that breathes and flows through construction, while carried by your personal grace.

A distinctively modern sensibility.

Manifesto :

What is beauty. The question that is the bane of our industry’s existence. I believe it cannot be addressed with only the presentation of the end product on the runway. From the cuts that mold on the body, to embrace it, not claim; my inspiration with the Atelier is rooted in celebration of us people.

The creations, crafted by artisanal fabric manipulation, resulting in unique surfaces reinterpret suiting adapted to modern posture trough construction adapted to modern life[1],and flou-tailoring [2]. The exploration of organic shapes and the human anatomy through re-invented techno-pleat designs [3] is what the collection speaks to.

The myriad of human silhouettes. Each of them, entirely shaped and sewn by hand. "Cousu main" : a needle, a thread, creation without the use of a machine. Such creation is greatly personal at the base of it all, and inspired by the lives of the diverse group of individuals around me, the generations that inspire and teach me. And so, our inspiration at the Atelier is rooted in this celebration of people, and the myriad of their human silhouettes, that has been a guiding architect.

Reflection on life in this digital age. Silhouettes emerging from a storm, to honour resilience and movement of the body. You are meant to live in our clothes, to be : free. - Peet Dullaert

Glossary

PEET DULLAERT Signature Suiting - Cut for modern posture. Our cuts allow you to type on your phone, bend your arms at angles needed to live today’s lifestyle, whilst maintaining a fluid sartorial look. This is achieved through the house’s signature turned cut that allows for dynamic movement of the body, achieved through a bias-cut direction on the back and the arms. As opposed to traditional linear position of seams, that does not allow the wearer to live an active life, our signature cut allows for free movement of the arms complimented by design aesthetic that makes our seams flow with the body’s movement.
Flou-tailoring – A technique where the fabric is shaped directly on a live body, without the process of creation on a mannequin. The genesis of every design created in this collection is through live draping on the body.
PEET DULLAERT Techno pleating – A unique innovation of the house in treating fabric, techno pleating is manipulation of the house trademark pleated-fabric to create shapes. Fabrics that are either manipulated by hand or machine, and each piece created by only one Artisan. The way the fabric is pleated and structured, allows the wearer to truly move in the clothes; without feeling constrained by its fit. Even though each piece is couture made, the buyer can be assured that they will comfortably be able to fit into the clothes through the journey of their life. The techno pleating material further allows the wearer to travel without worrying about creases. One can bunch up the clothes, such that it is compact and can be fit into a travel suitcase, unfolded and draped on the body. For a carefree wearer that is active and does not want to be worried about ironing, luggage space, but priorities aesthetics and cuts.

Responsible in-house production cycle – On a made to order basis, for ready to wear and couture, translating to our goal of conscious production. As the house only uses materials to fulfill specific orders leading to minimal scope for waste. Our shipment process is end to end carbon neutral with fully recyclable packaging.
