Rewriting Modern Minimalism: Inside ECCO.KOLLEKTIVE x Louis-Gabriel Nouchi’s Groundbreaking SS25 Collection  

In a seamless blend of Nordic functionality and French savoir-faire, ECCO.KOLLEKTIVE and Louis-Gabriel Nouchi unveiled their Spring/Summer 2025 collection, redefining modern minimalism for a new generation. This electrifying collaboration debuted against the chic backdrop of New York City, where style cognoscenti gathered at the exclusive Chez Margaux restaurant to toast its arrival.  

The ECCO.KOLLEKTIVE x Louis-Gabriel Nouchi SS25 collection is a celebration of timeless yet forward-thinking design. Renowned for his avant-garde approach, Nouchi reinterprets ECCO’s heritage of innovation with a contemporary lens, presenting a collection that exudes quiet luxury with a touch of eroticism. At its core, the collection explores themes of fluidity, comfort, and versatility, offering pieces that seamlessly transition from day to night. Using ECCO’s cutting-edge leather technology, Nouchi has created sleek silhouettes infused with his signature tailoring: sensual dresses, minimalist utility jackets, and modular separates in a palette of oxblood, black and pearlescent white. The accessories are a masterclass in craftsmanship. From structured totes with architectural lines to elegant slip-on footwear in supple leather, each piece reflects ECCO’s dedication to sustainability and superior quality. Nouchi’s touch is unmistakable, with asymmetrical details and unexpected pops of vibrant color adding an avant-garde twist.  

Both ECCO and Nouchi are celebrated for their commitment to sustainability, and this collaboration is no exception. The collection incorporates ECCO’s revolutionary DriTan™ leather, which reduces water usage, alongside eco-friendly production methods that minimize environmental impact. This alignment of values elevates the collection beyond fashion, positioning it as a statement on responsible luxury.  

The collection’s arrival was marked by an exclusive dinner hosted at Chez Margaux, a New York hotspot known for its refined charm. Friends of the brand, including tastemakers, artists, and fashion insiders such as Moses Sumney, Richie Shazam, Quil Lemons, Teddy Quinlivan, Fernando Casablancas, Alex Tieghi-Walker, Miles Greenberg, gathered for an intimate evening of culinary delights and sartorial admiration.  


As guests sipped on bespoke cocktails and indulged in a meticulously curated menu, the conversation centered on the artistry and ingenuity of the SS25 collection. In true ECCO.KOLLEKTIVE style, the evening reflected the collaboration’s ethos: understated elegance with an edge.  

With this collaboration, ECCO.KOLLEKTIVE and Louis-Gabriel Nouchi have set a new benchmark for SS25 collections. It’s more than a meeting of Danish and French design philosophies, it’s a redefinition of what modern luxury can and should be.  
As the pieces hit shelves, they’re poised to become the must-haves of the season, speaking to those who value craftsmanship, innovation, and a forward-thinking aesthetic. This is not just fashion; it’s a movement towards a more intentional and inspired way of dressing.  


The ECCO.KOLLEKTIVE x Louis-Gabriel Nouchi collection is a legacy in the making.
