Puppet Riot FW25

Puppet Riot is a celebration of self-expression, theatricality, and rebellion. Inspired by the Blitz Kids of 1980s London, the collection reinterprets their irreverent and maximalist spirit through the symbolism of puppets, exploring the delicate balance between control and freedom. The Tiller Clowes puppets, with their rigid and nostalgic aesthetic, become a metaphor for the identity play and performance that defined this subculture. Like the Blitz Kids, the puppets come to life when they take the stage, becoming protagonists of their own narrative, transforming the inanimate into something vibrant and provocative. The collection uses repurposed and vintage fabrics, from upholstery and curtains to other domestic textiles, giving new life to materials loaded with history and character. More than a collection, Puppet Riot is a visual manifesto: an ode to excess, artifice, and transformation, where each look is a mask, a costume, and a declaration of intent.
