Alectra Rothschild / Masculina Spring/Summer 2025 / SS25 at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

On Monday, 5th of August 2024, Alectra Rothschild / Masculina showcased her Spring/Summer 2025 collection produced by inter.agcy.

Alectra Rothschild / Masculina Spring/Summer 2025 / SS25 collection is called “You are wasted here, you are a star” which speaks to the position of trans people in our society. “We are wasted in this world because we are disproportionally experiencing extreme discrimination, homelessness, joblessness & violence for simply existing and obviously not appreciated for the Stars we are”, Alectra expressed.

Alectra Rothschild / Masculina Spring/Summer 2025 / SS25 collection itself investigates intimacy and platonic love. This is shown by having garments such as nightgowns, robes, and leisure wear. These pieces are inspired by the 20’s Boudoir and the 20’s silhouette from Erté. It’s about the space in front of your vanity table putting on your glamour or getting undone with your close girlies around.

“Is it Vanity, or your Sanctuary?”

The collection finds itself between being on route from the club and being at home after the club. Romantic nightgowns are in juxtaposition to slutty clubwear that meets leathery racer garments such as racer pants and racer jackets.

Alectra worked with techniques like ruffles, gatherings, deconstruction, and slashing Along with corsetry and created her own latex from scratch. The collection features Oleatex as a sustainable replacement for leather made from recycled polyester and olives, and deadstock lace and silks from the deadstock fabric company Belgerian Fabrics. The showpieces are created from upcycled garments, fabrics, and stockings.

“My first instinct right after showing “The REBIRTH Carry” FW24 was that I wanted the models to be lifted – to be on a sort of pedestal to make a quite literal societal power shift as the majority cast are trans and otherwise at the margins of society. I want everyone at the show to look up at us – where we truly deserve to be”, Alectra said.

The location is at The Hangar which is a club that hosts the party “Endurance” where Alectra worked as a picker in the door. So the models literally leave the club we party at and drive off to the afters on Motorbikes. Alectra Rothschild / Masculina Spring/Summer 2025 / SS25 collection is a romantic love letter to my queer and trans siblings.
