Christopher Esber’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection is a masterclass in effortless subversion. Fronted by 90s icon Tasha Tilberg, it weaves tailored surfwear, sculptural cutouts, and quiet irreverence into pieces that feel both instinctive and impossibly sophisticated.
A-list celebrities like Zendaya, Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Emily Ratajkowski, and Hailey Bieber may have spread the name of designer Christopher Esber around the world. Still, he is more than just a celeb favourite. Since making his on-schedule debut at Paris Fashion Week in September 2023, followed by winning the Grand Prix at ANDAM 2024, his collections have become increasingly highly anticipated. With designs influenced by his experience in tailoring, distinctive hardware, and a convey-and-conceal strategy for cutout clothed forms that evoke feelings of imagination and escape, Esber continues to challenge conventional thinking.
90s cool girl model muse Tasha Tilberg stars in Christopher Esber’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection, shot by Pierre Toussaint. The spirit of the collection is based on conflicting energies, serving as a study in self-control and disobedience. We see reimagined surf wear norms through tailoring, negative space, and undone silhouettes, symbolizing the season’s combination of structure and flow.
Tilberg, a mainstay of 90s minimalism and subversive femininity, contributes a quiet irreverence and grounded power that reflects the collections’ contrasts: sculptural yet casual, sophisticated yet raw. Her timeless appeal and androgynous edge are a reflection of the collection’s pieces that shift across codes and is worn instinctively rather than consciously.
