FURSAC SPRING-SUMMER 2025

SS25 FURSAC- Thousands of kilometers away from California and Hawaii, France has also been a home of surfing since the 1950s. Among the pioneers of surfing from the beaches of Biarritz, it is the figure of Arnaud de Rosnay-gentleman surfer, photographer, and unpredictable dandy equally at ease on the waves and in mundane parties-who particularly inspired Gauthier Borsarello, FURSAC's creative director, to design a Spring-Summer 2025 collection imbued with salty waters, sun, pleasure, and elegance. A lightness typical of the seaside.
Round trip between Paris and the Basque coast, the FURSAC man's wardrobe for next summer plays on a subtle balance between relaxed silhouettes and tailored clothing, close-fitting pieces and boxy volumes, reminiscent of the early 80’s. Featured on a belted overcoat with a romantic allure, a specially developed floral print, nodding to the flora of the Atlantic coast, recalls the evanescent rock imagery of that same era. Shorts, of course, are de rigueur, worn short. Why not paired with an open shirt or a cable-knit sweater draped over the shoulders. The beach's stylistic vocabulary also manifests through a series of terry cloth garments, a "muscle tee" tank top, striped polos, and a smock. This recurring piece in Borsarello's FURSAC collections is crafted this season in pristine cotton poplin or in a technical multi-pocket version in navy nylon. Short-sleeved or long-sleeved shirts come in a blend of cotton and linen or in fluid, airy viscose. The bandana, a must for adventurers and vintage clothing enthusiasts alike, also becomes the lining pattern of a transparent coach jacket and a fluid short-sleeve viscose shirt. Whether worn with a bow tie or a floral necklace, the tuxedo stands out with a six-button crossed version in pink satin. The suit is also revisited for summer, with seasonal colors and materials like linen, and construction details like unlined jackets.
Workwear expert, Gauthier Borsarello highlights this category with an overall (a first for FURSAC) in hickory stripe pattern and a double-faced wool jacket inspired by a vintage French model from the 50’s. The brand also unveils its double-breasted jacket (inspired by a 30’s work jacket) and washable wool trousers, ideal for those willing to go for one more dip. This underscores FURSAC's obsession with materials, construction, and details that can also meet the durability needs of water sports enthusiasts.
This attention to detail inspired the Hawaiian surfwear brand T&C Surf Designs to collaborate with FURSAC on a series of unique pieces: a terry cloth Baja hoodie, a jersey-lined hooded sweatshirt, swim shorts, a t-shirt, a beach-bag, and a cap for an unexpected capsule playing on the codes of both brands, both born in the 70s.
Celebrated worldwide for the comfort and quality of its shoes, MEPHISTO has also joined in, reviving a sneaker model from its archives, the "Dribbler," for FURSAC. Made in France, this 90’s style fearturing the brand’s patented cushioning technology "Air Bag System," has been reworked in two colors to complete the Summer '25 looks.
The collection's lookbook and video pay tribute to surf culture and the charming moments spent by the seaside. Some vintage pieces are included, showcasing personal style and demonstrating that the new collection's garments are made to be worn long-term and can be easily integrated into an existing wardrobe. The eclectic casting includes this season a woman, highlighting the ever-increasing versatility of FURSAC's wardrobe.
SPRING-SUMMER 2025 PRESENTATION
On the occasion of Paris Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2025, this collection will be presented alongside an exhibition of six art-work by artist Lionel Estève at the heart of the Musée Picasso Paris, an iconic venue of an artist at the crossroads of disciplines. This project is the culmination of a meeting born from the desire to explore the place of clothing in another context, but also from the artist's own questioning of his ability to integrate it into his work without denaturing it. The result is the materialization of a unique dialogue between artworks and a clothing collection. The juxtaposition of these two electively affiliated universes sketches an emotional mood board for the collection.
