AW25 The Collected Stories Blog

Needle & Thread are proud to present the launch of Autumn Winter ’25, a romantic homage to the timeless allure of French literary icon Colette. Celebrated as a trailblazer ahead of her time, Colette’s spirit of sensuality and artistic legacy serve as a muse for this season’s collection. Drawing from the elegance and refined beauty of early 1900’s Paris, the edit captures the opulence of the era through intricate detail, delicate craftsmanship and rich Victorian influence.

Incorporating timeless neutrals and monochrome hues with enchanting shimmering touches, the collection offers a fresh take on occasion dressing. Signature floral motifs are paired with ribbon bows and intricate lace trims to add a softness and texture to both printed and woven pieces. These heritage-inspired details are balanced alongside modern sculpted silhouettes to create a wardrobe that’s as timeless as it is wearable.

The collection also unveils new layering separates, including a romantic knit and skirt combination designed to elevate everyday dressing. Blending comfort with elegance, these versatile pieces bring a touch of Needle & Thread’s signature charm to more relaxed, day-to-day styling.

In hero groups such as the Rosa and Adeline, contrast embroidery is used to evoke the look of decadent vintage lacework - a subtle nod to the craftsmanship of haute couture ateliers. Seen across popular scoop neck and sheer designs, the brand introduces new hooded capes that offer the perfect event-ready look.

As part of Needle & Thread’s enduring commitment to sustainability, 62% of this collection is made from recycled materials, including 100% recycled sequins and tulle.

Autumn-Winter is available from August 2025, in sizing UK 4 – 24, with pricing ranging from £200 - £725.
