Sundae School's SS25 'Amor Fati' collection launches today, offering a heartfelt exploration of love in all its forms -- from familial bonds and friendships to romance and self-discovery -- through the lens of the Asian American experience. Inspired by the philosophical idea of 'Amor Fati' (to love one’s fate), the collection merges nostalgia with modernity, infusing each piece with personal and cultural storytelling.
The SS25 drop unfolds in chapters. March’s release features smokewear classics like the 'Mochi Ripstop Trousers' and the new 'Ruffle Umma Shell Jacket.' April introduces a 'Dual Identity' theme, reimagining uniforms and highlighting limited-edition Mochi flower graphics. May honors AAPI Heritage Month with hanbok-inspired silhouettes like the 'Linen Blazer' and 'Track Jacket' -- lightweight tributes to traditional Korean craftsmanship.
Design signatures include Sundae School’s mochi flower, a symbol of resilience, embroidered throughout the collection. With heritage-rooted aesthetics and contemporary streetwear appeal, Amor Fati is a love letter to cultural identity, legacy, and growth. Now available at sundae.school.
