As we predicted in our trends last year, surrealism is having a moment. Is it a reaction to our otherworldly onscreen lives, or the turbulence of public sphere … or both?
Surrealism Tops Spring 2025 Fashion and Home Trends
Carabella
Designer LISA TODD adds a witty wink to your new favorite cashmere sweater with sequin elbow patches. Pair its relaxed silhouette with a breezy ballet skirt and you’ll find yourself floating surreally over the events of the day.
Splash
Bring an elegant aura of surreality into your home with Artistic Tile’s Groove Lilac Marble Dimensional Tile. Its natural veining (also available in three additional colors) is naturally timeless, but in purple it is ethereally sensual.
Emma Shipley
Perhaps the best version of this season’s fascination with wild animals and scary mythological beasts was shown during Déco Off at Clarke & Clarke in the form of Emma Shipley’s Mythica wallpaper collection. Its a garden of unearthly delights.
Natalia Brilli
A gorgeous discovery at the recent Maison et Object tradeshow in Paris, Brilli’s work blends folk art and art history. Her work, including this exuberantly rustic raffia sun, is crafted by a small family workshop in Madagascar. Imagination and beauty shine from its sunny countenance.
Pink Large Eros Torso Hue Vase
Niko June takes a playful approach to objects for the home. Their Eros Torso Hue Vase (available in three colors) is made of upcycled plastic and deliberately squished to arrive at its wonderfully quirky shape. Photo by Dave Bryce.
Kardo
Strips of strips excess printed fabric are handwoven into a cotton cloth and then carefully tailored into a mens shirt. Alongside virtues of upcycling and sustaining handcraft traditions … it’s great looking! Handmade in India.
Fox and the Fleur
Bridal fashions seem to taking a surreal turn with bridal bouquets that behave more like accessories than bouquets. Aspinwall and Sewickley florist Fox and the Fleur explores the trend with this cluster of calla lilies strung on pearls and carried as if they were a handbag. Odd? Maybe. Fresh and sexy. Certainly.
