The FW25 Vol.2 collection by Marni stands as a vivid illustration of the unpredictable beauty of creative convergence. In an artistic rendezvous one misty London evening, Francesco Risso, creative director of Marni, met with emerging artists Olaolu Slawn and Soldier Boyfriend over aperitifs. This meeting sparked “The Pink Sun,” a month-long artist residency in London where these diverse talents melded their unique artistic languages.
Dubbed “The Salon,” this collection transcends typical fashion paradigms, turning Marni’s presentation into a living canvas that layers historical depth with contemporary urgency. The setting, an intimate space transformed into an interactive gallery, mirrors the eclectic essence of their joint creativity. Here, the past, present, and future of Marni converge in a dynamic tableau that feels both timeless and immediate, infused with the smoky ambiance of a Milanese café and the aromatic zest of MARTINI vermouth spritzes.

The collection itself is a narrative of transformation and bold experimentation. Garments metamorphose before the viewers’ eyes: a wolf’s hide blends into a finely tailored suit, satin dresses sprout blooming flowers, and tufts of fur seem to cascade spontaneously from the fabric, crafting a visual feast reminiscent of a fantastical storybook. The collection, rich with allegorical imagery and surreal elements, invites onlookers to step into a sphere where fashion, art, and narrative fuse into a singular, vision.


“The Pink Sun” does not just exhibit clothing, it narrates the journey of its creators’ shared experiences and artistic dialogues. It is here that Marni reaffirms its commitment to not just crafting garments but crafting stories and experiences that resonate with those who encounter them.

Marni’s FW25 Vol.2 collection is a homage to the arts, merging historical depth with modern innovation to push the limits of traditional fashion. It honors the strength of collaboration, uniting diverse ideas that are set to impact and transform the direction of contemporary fashion, with each piece serving as a portal to the extraordinary . Welcome to The Pink Sun, where every garment tells a story, and each story leads to new discoveries.
