Tony Ward Fall/Winter 2025-2026 Collection “Of Silk & Steel”

In Tony Ward’s Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2025 collection, ‘Of Silk and Steel’, duality is not opposition, but coexistence. There is no perfect harmony and that is the essence of humanity.
Deep velvet intertwines with sheer tulle; fitted tailoring meets soft, flowing drapes. Ethereal silks in pale hues contrasting with intense blacks and rich metallics. Sharp lines and bold tailoring blend seamlessly with delicate pleats and feminine fluidity. Strength is softened by vulnerability; love, by hate. The beautiful, the broken. All of it exists within us. The threads of our soul woven from both fragility and resilience, in the ever-evolving push and pull of being human.
A testament to both fortitude and decay, Barsbay Tower – the setting for ‘Of Silk and Steel’ collection - speaks of protection and history, yet the passing of time reminds us of impermanence.
