Alectra Rothschild AW25: A Raw Expression Of Trans Rage And High Glamour
Alectra Rothschild's Masculina show at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Alectra Rothschild’s AW25 show for Masculina was an electric moment in Copenhagen Fashion Week that brought together the raw power of political resistance and high-end craftsmanship. With her collection, Give the Girl a Gun, Rothschild presented a bold commentary on trans identity, rage, and defiance, shaking the fashion world to its core. The show opened with the unmistakable voice of President Donald Trump, spitting hateful rhetoric against trans people. But before his words could linger, the performance artist Cassie Augusta Jørgensen erupted onto the scene, demanding that he “shut the f*** up.” The audience was left in stunned silence, then a wave of applause followed, signaling not just a show, but a raw, unfiltered expression of resistance.
Masculina has always been a brand that pushes boundaries, and this collection was no exception. Alectra Rothschild, who has trained under the likes of Iris Van Herpen and Anne Sofie Madsen, and worked with powerhouses such as Mugler and Alexander McQueen, used Give the Girl a Gun to deliver an unapologetic, high-glamour vision of trans rage. The collection was a fusion of intricately crafted tailoring, bold silhouettes, and daring style. The sharpness of the tailoring played off the softness of feminine lines, capturing an essence of sophistication while still carrying an edge of rebellion.
Rothschild's career is one marked by a steady rise to the top, having been recognized by i-D and Dazed, and dressing stars like Arca, MØ, and Zara Larsson. As she continues to challenge the fashion industry’s norms and expectations, Give the Girl a Gun is a testament to her unique ability to blend artistry with activism. It’s a collection that makes a statement, offering a space for the voices of those often silenced. If the future of fashion is about making bold statements, Alectra Rothschild is certainly leading the charge.
