For his Spring/Summer 2025 collection, Swiss designer Raphael Blechschmidt brought haute couture to life in an unforgettable runway event — a show that blended theatrical flair with impeccable craftsmanship. Set in Basel and inspired by the spirit of the Eurovision Song Contest, the presentation celebrated global elegance through fashion. Each look was a love letter to a different country, reinterpreted through Raphael’s signature blend of precision, whimsy, and timeless sophistication.

True to the Eurovision theme, the audience became part of the experience — voting for their favorite design in a joyful fusion of fashion and performance. Spotlight beams, sweeping silhouettes, and bold textures danced across the stage, paying tribute to both culture and couture.

To complement the energy of the runway, a second act followed: a dedicated editorial shoot designed to give the collection space to breathe. Here, the focus shifted from spectacle to intimacy — allowing every detail, pleat, and embellishment to take center stage. The quiet drama of tulle, the tailored boldness of structured coats, and the ethereal movement of fabric all found a new rhythm under the lens.

Together, these two parts form a complete story — one that moves from grand to personal, performance to portrait. A reflection of Raphael Blechschmidt’s enduring philosophy: fashion is not just worn — it’s experienced.
