1017 ALYX 9SM SPRING/SUMMER 2025 COLLECTION
A constant call-and-repeat of tactical engineering and American classics grounds the 1017-ALYX-9SM Pre-Spring 2025 collection in creative director Matthew Williams’ core vocabulary of forms. Tangents are drawn between typologies, archetypes are reinforced, and materialities explore both patina and polish. An essential elegance underscores the minimalist approach to dressing in optic white and sky, matte black, bone, deep forest camo and blasted indigo - a core sartorial palette that inflects casual silhouettes with a coded schema for living.
Built on a block of cotton shirting, crisp or crumpled, the Pre-Spring 2025 season shies from artifice, offering ascetic pillars of the 1017-ALYX-9SM classic wardrobe in conversation with washed and garment-dyed pieces. Ripstop fabrications render cargo pants and multi-pocket ranger jackets light and mobile, flat zippered shell vests nod to a Beuys-ian pragmatism, and new volumes exaggerate the architecture of classic Harrington and MA-1 jacket shapes. With segmented knees and snap stud details, a blown-out ski pant falls over calf-length, lug-soled boots worn with half-zip fleece and waffle knit sweaters with a taped mock neck, whilst waxed and creased spring oilcloth coats are accented with contrast suede collars.
In new graphic modules, the ALYX ‘A’ becomes a radial logo embroidery, a sportif stitched arrow motif and a bold serif varsity stamp on cotton tees, knit polo programs, an acetate cycling hoodie and coach jacket. Inspired by the Pismo Beach carnival of Williams’ California youth, the signature ALYX rollercoaster buckle is omnipresent in both Ready to Wear and accessories, appearing as a carpenter’s strap on raw denim jeans, scaled down on steel chain jewellery, doubled on a black-on-black nylon messenger, and front and centre on a hiking backpack trimmed in suede.
