Drawing from his experiences since moving to New York in the late '90s, Frederick Anderson orchestrated a Fall 2025 collection that pulsed with the energy of DJ Timbaland's iconic beats. The Paradise Club at the Times Square Edition hotel served as the perfect backdrop for this fusion of street culture and luxury fashion, though the evening began not with hip-hop, but with an unexpected twist: mezzo-soprano J'Nai Bridges emerged from behind crimson velvet curtains to deliver a powerful rendition of "Habanera," creating a dramatic prelude to the high-energy show that would follow.

As photographers gathered near the bar and Anderson's well-heeled friends and clients exchanged air kisses, the collection unfolded as a testament to the designer's diverse influences. The runway showcased an eclectic mix of ruffled tuxedo tops paired with moiré suiting, luxurious faux fur outerwear, and streamlined knit dresses. Standout pieces included a sophisticated sleeveless dress constructed from three distinct guipure lace panels and a delicate sheer ruffle-hem skirt.
