Born from a symphony of seduction and intellect, fragility and power, elegance, and audacity, the new SANTA FW25-26 collection is a manifesto of feminine strength, resonating with the flawless harmony of past and present. This line pays homage to the iconic femme fatale, transporting her from the noir films of the ’50s into the modern era. Creative director Yana Stanislavska masterfully captures the aesthetics of that time, infusing them with even greater depth and dynamism.

Intertwining history with modernity, Yana channels the spirit of bold, passionate women through a design language where contrasts reign supreme. Sheer lace meets structured leather, creating a harmonious dialogue between softness and strength. This interplay of materials embodies SANTA’s philosophy, where every detail reveals the duality of femininity.

Once again, the brand showcases its signature mastery of materials—luxurious fur, feathers, and deep velvets that evoke the refined elegance of the past. This season, these classic textures are elevated with flawless accents: textured leather corsets and delicate lace. The works of Helmut Newton, the legendary provocateur photographer, serve as a key inspiration, lending the collection its cinematic depth. From sharp dress silhouettes and corsetry to strong, sculpted shoulders, each piece challenges traditional perceptions of femininity.

Delicate cutouts, voluminous feathers, and semi-transparent lace with intriguing details heighten the collection’s magnetism. The noir-inspired color palette flows between rich black, deep burgundy, warm mocha, and cool graphite tones.

The final touch comes in the form of exquisite fur pieces—bags, boas, shawls, and coats—the signature SANTA designs that have long been woven into the brand’s DNA, now reimagined in unexpected new shades.
