Evan Hirsch’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection debuted at New York Fashion Week on September 7, 2024, with a couture presentation titled *“Memories, Drapery and Milestones.” The collection was inspired by Hirsch’s childhood home, featuring textiles from curtains and home fabrics his parents recently sold. The unique designs incorporated vivid floral prints and colorful plaids, giving the pieces a nostalgic and personal touch. Hirsch is known for his transformative gowns, which can switch between short and long lengths with a twist of fabric, making his creations both versatile and visually striking. His work embraces all body types, with sizes ranging from 0 to 32.
One highlight was his “cottage core” collection, featuring a mix of floral prints and playful structures, including a dress with wired tiers for a bell-shaped silhouette. His mastery of both fit and fabric manipulation shines through his gowns, designed to emphasize a woman’s shoulders while providing flowing, elegant forms. Hirsch’s collection stood out not just for its personal connection, but also for its intricate craftsmanship, offering two-in-one gowns and exquisite detail work. His commitment to size inclusivity and thoughtful design garnered much attention at the show.
The show was dedicated to the memory of Evan’s grandfather who passed away from a brain tumor, Dr. Herbert S. Krane who was a big supporter of his fashion aspirations. He partnered with Brain Tumor Foundation for his presentation as a way of giving back and creating awareness of this disease.
