Amy Smilovic and Traci Bui-Amar, Tibi's head of design, drew inspiration from Antwerp, Belgium, for their Fall 2025 collection. The city's unique blend of heritage and modernity, showcased in its architecture and urban design, informed the collection's aesthetic. The result is a range of effortlessly cool and carefree clothing featuring unexpected silhouettes, convertible garments, and a playful mix of textures and proportions.
A trip to Antwerp , Belgium, that Amy Smilovic and Traci Bui-Amar, her SVP head of design, embarked on inspired the fall 2025 Tibi collection. “We spent a week there designing the collection,” Smilovic mentioned at a studio space in SoHo where she was shooting her look book. “It’s a place that’s completely steeped in heritage, but it’s fully modern at the same time in a way that merges the two.
As of late, Tibi has been a vehicle for Smilovic’s experiments in dressing. She’s keen on convertible garments, unusual silhouettes, odd little shoes—things that can mix into a wardrobe and give it a little oomph. Like any experiment, some parts are more successful than others, but whatever she and Bui-Amar saw in the streets of Antwerp seems to have unlocked the code for utterly cool yet carefree clothes.
The silhouette was extra-long: Low-slung, drop-crotch jeans that zipped off at the knee to become shorts created an illusion of forever legs when paired with a sculpted neoprene jacket cut close to the body; a long gray spaghetti-strap dress with an additional wide panel that quickly turned the dress from midi to maxi was layered over matching wide-leg trousers. Another skirt suit in a terrific paper-based fabric with an anorak-style jacket was made for business and a little perverse.
To put it another way, this was a collection full of classics that were classics until they suddenly weren’t, as though they were garments that generated themselves with their own idiosyncrasies and came pre-injected with an attitude that would be made whole with the wearer’s own. The kind of thing that makes people say, “I’ll know it when I see it.” “It’s ageless, and agelessness is so important to us,” said Smilovic, proving that ageless need not mean neutral or boring.
