+22 Greta Constantine Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear
Each season, Greta Constantine’s Kirk Pickersgill grounds his gowns in a sense of place. For fall, that muse was Toronto’s Museum of Contemporary Art, where an exhibition by Tishan Hsu sparked a shift in perspective. “His paintings are very conceptual and obscure,” Pickersgill noted—an invitation for the designer to explore unexpected silhouettes and fabrics that favour subtle sophistication over flashy excess.
The result is a streamlined collection that tempers Pickersgill’s usual exuberance with restraint. A butter-yellow gown with a high neck and sculptural ruching whispers elegance, while a crimson cape-draped column delivers drama without fuss. “What people want is comfort,” he explained, and the season’s gowns—whether fluid silver foils or airy maxis—balance ease with impact.
Perhaps most striking are the menswear-inflected moments: pinstripe jumpsuits, tailored separates, even a bias-cut crepe T-shirt styled with trousers. The effect is modern, unfussy glamour. “It’s easy and sophisticated,” said Pickersgill. “Put on your earrings, and you’re ready to go.”
