    WOOD WOOD AW25: Reimagining Earth, One Thread at a Time

    Written by Ulrika Lindqvist

    For Autumn/Winter 2025, Danish brand WOOD WOOD takes a leap beyond the usual fashion narrative with Sphere,  a collection that draws from the outer limits of imagination, grounded in the ever-evolving relationship between nature, space, and human potential.

    Referencing the radical 1991 experiment Biosphere 2 and the documentary Spaceship Earth, the collection is steeped in themes of reinvention, resilience, and speculative futures. Equally inspired by the countercultural ethos of the Whole Earth Catalog and the futurist philosophies of Buckminster Fuller, Sphere is a visual and tactile exploration of how we might live, dress, and evolve in a changing world.

    We were captivated by the idea of combining a grand, almost utopian vision with a DIY spirit,” says Brian SS Jensen, Creative Director. “It’s a way of thinking about the future while staying rooted in our connection to Earth. Where are we headed, and what does that look like?”

    WOOD WOOD’s response is a collection that fuses function with freedom. Think utilitarian workwear reimagined with a streetwise sensibility, relaxed yet elevated. The silhouettes lean into contrast: voluminous trousers with unexpected proportions, oversized knits that feel like wearable warmth, and tailored sets that blur the line between formality and comfort. Texture takes centre stage this season. Vintage-inspired twills, soft boucle, tactile corduroy, and worn-down wool coats create depth and sensory richness.

    We wanted the garments to feel lived in,” explains Gitte Wetter, Head of Design. “There’s nostalgia here, but also reinvention — we worked with fabrics that hold stories and memories, but gave them a fresh context.”

    The collection’s palette is elemental and cosmic in equal measure. Earthy hues of burgundy, forest green, ochre, and sand are grounded in warmth, while a washed-out lavender offers an unexpected whisper of the surreal, a nod to the cosmos. AW25 also leans into the romanticism of 70s nostalgia, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Cable knits, checkered shirting, and collegiate outerwear evoke a time when idealism and exploration went hand-in-hand. It’s not retro for retro’s sake — it’s a call to rediscover the ethos of that era in how we live now. There’s a quiet confidence woven through Sphere. Each piece feels intentional, for a wearer who values comfort without compromise, style without rigidity, and expression without excess. It’s fashion for the introspective futurist: those looking to dress not just for where they are, but where they want to go.
