Julie Kegels Fall 2025: Executive Sweet

Simkhai Desiree Draped Top Black

Tapping into the current fascination with office culture, Julie Kegels mined the ’80s book “Executive Style” for clever takes on workwear for her fall collection. The dress-for-success tome is a time capsule of ideas on how to achieve wealth and power through good taste — the “fake it until you make it” ethos converted to hardback. Kegels explored what she sees as a topsy-turvy philosophy. “It’s a bit of a naïve way of thinking,” she said. The Belgian designer took the codes of so-called successful groups — the three-quarter zip fleeces of finance bros, the ‘80s chief executive officer power suit — and turned them upside down, quite literally in the case of pencil skirts with exposed linings extended up as a top, or exposed pads jutting from shoulders. A Barbour jacket was pleated and cinched at the waist for a more romanticized take on the trendy-again classic. You May Also Like She also looked to social signifiers such as Eames chairs to create tufted accessories, including a handbag that could double as a pillow, gathered tops and velvet gown dotted with buttons. Screen-printed photos of furniture on skirts presented her take on how to “camouflage yourself in a successful world,” which is only an illusion in the end. Eighties interiors with all their wood-paneled glory were reinterpreted in a burled print pattern present on blouses and blazers, but most masterfully in a sculptural piece made from real wood and shaped into a full-length gown. Held at an historic theater on the outskirts of town, Kegel’s show was part performance piece as a model dressed herself as the opening act. After the 35 looks ran their course, the model returned for a surprise last scene: the separates she had started with had morphed into a single suit unzipped with one pull from the back. Our heroine freed herself from her corporate armor. Can we?
