If it’s true that fashion comes back around every 20 years, then studying the fall 2005 fashion season might give us some clues as to what is to come for fall 2025. Two decades ago, few designers were feeling for things extreme, a notable exception being Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, whose surreal Bedtime Stories show featured duvet dresses and others with built-in pillows, plus a live performance by Tori Amos. Presaging real life by nearly two decades, Chloë Sevigny opened Dolce & Gabbana as a society swan; at Christian Dior the opening few looks nodded to Edie Sedgwick; and Alexander McQueen’s models looked like Hitchcock heroines. Rei Kawakubo sent brides down the runway at Comme des Garçons. A then-unknown Riccardo Tisci presented a moody, broody presentation featuring a giant wooden cross in Milan, and the Catholic Imagination was also alive in Stefano Pilati’s stellar collection for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. The influence of Hollywood—specifically The Aviator, starring Cate Blanchett—sent designers’ imaginations flying. Below, see highlights of the fall 2005 season.
