For Fall Winter 2025–2026, Rue Agthonis delivers a hauntingly elegant collection that merges architectural precision with poetic restraint. True to the label’s DNA, the lookbook unveils a world where minimalism meets quiet drama—each garment a study in balance, proportion, and tension.

Designer Hyein Seo explores the notion of presence through absence. Garments appear almost suspended in motion—draped but tailored, fluid yet structured. Longline coats and column dresses are constructed in rich wools, velvets, and technical silks, shaped by asymmetrical darts and slashed seams that reveal skin in subtle, strategic moments.

The palette is subdued yet powerful—graphite, bone, ink, and deep garnet—accentuated by tonal textures and matte finishes. Embellishment is rare, but intentional: a raw-edged chiffon sleeve here, a sculpted rosette detail there. Silhouettes are elongated and monastic, interrupted by cut-outs, high necklines, and striking layered capes that cocoon the body.

What sets the collection apart is its ability to feel both grounded and otherworldly. There’s an emotional undercurrent—perhaps melancholic, perhaps meditative—that runs through the presentation, evoking the stillness of twilight or the echo of an old memory. Footwear and accessories echo this quiet precision with squared boots and minimal leather gloves, completing the story of introspective strength.

Rue Agthonis FW25-26 is an ode to modern femininity carved in shadow and light. In its silence, it speaks volumes.
