On the first day of Copenhagen fashion week ss25 tailor turned designer Alectra Rothschild showed her new collection for Alectra Rothschild/Masculina.  We asked her about her process, challenges and the future of Masculina. 

Ulrika Lindqvist: Please tell us about the process in creating the ss25 runway show?

Alectra Rothschild: The process has been intense! My first instinct right after showing the the REBIRTH carry at FW24 was that i wanted to models to be lifted up. To be on a sort of pedistal to make a quite literal societal powershift as the the majority cast are trans and otherwise at the margins of society so i want everyone at the show to look up at Them - where we truly deserve to be.

UL: How did you chose the location for the runway show?

AR: Me and inter.agcy had a hard time finding a location this time as I wanted the show to be open to all this time. MASCULINA is for everyone 

UL: What does the SS25 collection represent and what was the main inspiration for his collection?

AR: The collection is called “You are wasted here, you are a star” which speaks to the position of trans people in our society. You are wasted in this world because we are not appreciated for all that we are. WE ARE STARS. 

For the collection ive been inspired by the intimacy that we queer people share in private Spaces. So its referencing the 20’s boudoir for getting ready. To sit at the vanity table and putting on ur makeup with you friends before going out, its the space after getting Home from a night out too. So there are ropes, nightgowns and hoodies. Its a very romantic collection that has remnants from the club.

UL: What was the biggest challenge creating your ss25 collection?

AR: TIME.

UL: How would you describe the Alectra Rothschild / Masculina customer?

AR: They are definently not afraid of being themselves. They appreciate glamour and getting dressed up.

UL: What can we expect from Alectra Rothschild / Masculina in the future?

AR: More p*ssy.
