How is the RECTO collection revealed without a fashion show?
This question arose when a reader trying to find collection news each season could not find runway videos or show schedules, leaving them unsure where to look.
RECTO introduced its collection through campaign images instead of a runway show this season as well, and the first look is always a tailored suit.
There is no show. Instead, there are images. RECTO presented its collection solely through campaign images without setting up a stage this season as well[1]. The 2024 S/S was also scheduled to be released online at the end of the year[2].
Therefore, the channel through which you first encounter the collection is photography. The 2025 S/S campaign was shot with photographer Anthony Seklaoui, and the models who stood before the camera were Clément Chabernaud and Saskia de Brauw[3]. The campaign B-cuts uploaded to the official Instagram are photographed directly by Baek-seok Jung, who majored in photography[4]. In other words, it is a structure where the main cuts and B-cuts come from the same perspective.
While there is no stage, there is also one thing that repeats every time. An elaborately tailored suit always holds the place of the collection's very first look[5].
This is what has been confirmed. Then, what is the reason for deciding not to hold a runway show? What is also the reason for always opening the first look with a suit? The brand's explanation regarding these two questions still remains to be seen. hmmm, however, the fact that an order is set seems clear—a brand without the moment of the first model walking out at a show venue has never once left the very front spot of the collection empty.
The reason for not holding runway shows and the reason for always opening the first look with a tailored suit have not yet been confirmed.
