"Since Duran Lantink 's voluptuous breasts bounded through Paris Fashion Week in March - OK, not his own, but a bouncing latex breastplate strapped to the obliging torso of male model Chandler Frye - the Dutch designer has been recast as fashion's latest enfant terrible. In an industry forever eager to ordain a new provocateur, Lantink has since been duly installed as heir to the enfant terrible emeritus himself, Jean Paul Gaultier."
"If his first two Paris Fashion Week shows flirted with restraint (a nod to the solemnities of a French audience), Autumn/Winter 2025 abandons the pretence. Here, excess is the point: python and leopard prints spar with tartan and camouflage; plastic breasts and moulded abs jut from latex torsos; trousers come with the backside excised; his signature globular forms swell menacingly at the shoulders."
Duran Lantink staged an Autumn/Winter 2025 campaign titled Duranimals, shot by Juergen Teller at a zoo and starring Alex Consani and Leon Dame. The collection abandons restraint in favor of excess, mixing python and leopard prints with tartan and camouflage and deploying latex breasts, moulded abs, cutaway trousers and exaggerated globular shoulders. Costumes include Leon Dame's zebra bodypaint and Alex Consani in skintight python, creating an irreverent safari aesthetic. The campaign aims to move fashion beyond magazines and to explore new ways of dressing that reshape the everyday meanings of clothing.
