Kobi Halperin Celebrates A Decade of Design with Grand and Whimsical “Threaded in Unity” Collection.
On February 10, during NYFW Kobi Halperin celebrated 10 years of his namesake brand. Halperin unveiled his brand new Fall 2025 collection with a dazzling show celebrating the milestone.
This collection not only honors his signature fusion of past and present but also underscores the unifying power of design. The theme of the collection was “Threaded in Unity” inspired by Halperins visit to the world’s largest spiritual gathering at Maha Kumbh Mela. It was there the collection took shape through with blending time-honored traditions and a contemporary sensibility.
True to what you can expect from Halperins designs. The attention to detail while creating every day wearable pieces holds true. From tailored suiting to beaded floor length scarfs and sparkle, fringe capelets, you can see the clear vision Kobi had. Stating “It is this energy that I hope to convey through my designs, where each piece is a bridge between heritage and modernity.” It absolutely showed through. A standout element of “Threaded in Unity” is the reinterpretation of the aesthetic purity embodied by the Sadhus—holy individuals who renounce material life in pursuit of enlightenment. There were contemporary and artistic pieces that are a clear representation of the inspiration. Some garments had floral motifs paying respect to the “vibrant flower.” There were garlands hinting at sacred rituals from Kobi’s trip, not leaving out delicate trims and embellishments. A classic for Kobi Halperin.
The platform shoes and chunky sky high heels were reminiscent of 60’s style. The music in the background with the live band and the shows whole theme and aesthetic made me think of The Beatles album Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, where the band had just gone through their own spiritual journey and translated it into and album. Both the time of the albums creation and essence of it. It was a wonderful show with designs for fun and work. There was great outerwear and flowing lounge pieces. It was a wonderful show and beautiful collection with a clear message according to Halperin, a message that “energy, unity, and faith—whether personal or collective—are universal.” We couldn’t agree more.
You can shop Kobi Halperin at Saks, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and boutiques around the world.
