Christian Wijnants likes to find strength in the refuge of the quiet weight of fabric, the way it cradles the body like a held breath. Softness layers like memory, offering warmth and safety where stillness lingers.

The Fall Winter 2025 collection, titled Sanctuary, inhabits that bridge between silence and emergence, structure and release. Strength take center stage as the silhouette’s fabric shifts into an armor. Tailoring is sharp yet soft. Fabric wraps as shelters. Scarves slip into capes, padding becomes a shield, shoes and bags soften into pillows—comfort carried along.

Fabrics carry memory—organza captures light, crepe memorizes the body’s movement. The palette is subdued yet rich: cement, macadamia, nutmeg, seafoam, onyx. Prints appear through process, revealing only the essential. Cuts balance continuity and disruption, guiding the eye between structure and stillness. Minimalism here does not mean restraint but revelation.

Christian Wijnants offers garments that hold, protect, and release—crafted for moments of change and quiet resilience. In Sanctuary, strength and softness intertwine, defining each other.
