Mark Fast Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection

It’s no secret that Mark Fast is a raver. Where in the past he’d party hard in his native Canada, these days he’s constantly on the search for music in the sanctuary of his London studio. “I love that adrenaline rush of feeling a new song and feeling the bass,” he said at a preview. “For this show, I wanted to create a space that gives me nostalgic feelings of when I used to dance in front of the speakers in underground clubs.”

The result of this instinctive sensory experience? Reworked takes on his signature silhouettes, made for the modern club-goer. “It’s still very much in the heart of the customer that they wear [the pieces] out,” he said. Fast’s fan base will be hitting dance floors in his recognizable knitwear, which arrived as body-flossing dresses and separates in neon green and pink, as well as red, yellow, orange and blue. There were options for his celebrity loyals, too: the finale looks, two crocheted dresses with super-fine strips of tulle fringing on the skirts, could be alt red-carpet ensembles, and the mini purple-grey fringed version was fit for a festival stage.

“What else would they wear in their worlds? And what would I wear, actually?” he said. “I love my drama, and I have it. But also, who is this woman? This woman likes to go out, she also likes to be warm.” And so he introduced layers for his revelers this season: windproof outerwear, denim jackets, shell tracksuits and sweatshirts.

For those on the benches who have watched Fast’s shows over the past decade or so, his intended feeling of nostalgia was stirred in the colorful, strip-lit room of East London’s Bike Shed––a venue he chose for its likeness to those clubs he went to. He’ll be dancing in his spring collection come 2025.
