Autumn-Winter 2025 Inspiration Trend - Cosmic Heat

Published on

model weairng a black dress with gold spots

For Autumn–Winter 2025, one of the standout stories shaping our collection is Cosmic Heat—a trend that looks upward for inspiration, finding beauty in the glow of distant galaxies, metallic starbursts and the hypnotic pull of the night sky.


This season, our design team has been energised by the mysteries of outer space and the warmth of planetary colour. While other trends explore nostalgic florals, handmade revival or desert textures, Cosmic Heat steps confidently into a celestial world—where metallic sheens, embroidered stars and planetary motifs create a narrative of dreamy escapism and cosmic charm.


Deep indigos, autumn berry tones and cosmic candy pink collide with shimmering surfaces and luminous highlights. The result is a trend that feels both otherworldly and grounded—futuristic but unmistakably wearable.

The Cosmic Heat Story

Cosmic Heat reflects some of the strongest directional themes of the season:

#GalacticGlow – metallic surfaces and subtle sheens echo moonlit skies and stardust halos
#StarMap – embroidered constellations, scattered planets and symbolic motifs create a narrative across each garment
#CandyCosmos – pops of bright pink and berry tones bring playful warmth to the darker base shades
#NebulaTextures – layered fabrics, from sturdy denim to semi-sheer georgette, mimic the depth and atmosphere of the night sky
#CosmicCraft – sequins and textural embroidery highlight hand-finished details within an otherwise futuristic theme
#StellarSpirit – scattered doodle stars and naïve celestial drawings add a sense of spontaneity and joy.


Within this story, experimentation is encouraged. Prints feel alive with personality—from shimmering black metallic spots to spaced-out burgundy stars and playful black–pink doodle constellations. Denim takes on a cosmic twist with bleached star effects, while embroidered planets and stars add tactility and storytelling.


These designs aren’t flat or minimal—they’re radiant, layered and expressive, each piece echoing the drama and magic of the cosmos.

The Palette & Fabric Direction

The Cosmic Heat palette blends rich, moody tones with luminous highlights:

  • Deep indigo – the anchor shade, resembling a vast, night-sky backdrop

  • Candy pink – a playful pop of cosmic energy

  • Autumn berry – warm, confident and grounding

  • Metallic gold – glimmering accents that mimic stardust and planetary rings

Fabrics bring structure and movement:

  • Hardwearing denim and twill provide everyday durability

  • Soft georgette adds floating, semi-sheer depth

  • Subtle sequin placements catch the light like distant stars

  • Embroidered motifs give dimension and craft

The mix creates a thoughtful balance between tactile comfort and celestial glamour.

Black Metallic Spot

This print brings a subtle, luminous energy to the sheer georgette fabric, creating a look that feels delicate yet quietly dramatic. Scattered across the surface are small metallic spots—each one catching the light with a soft, celestial shimmer. The effect is reminiscent of stardust drifting across a night sky, giving the fabric a sense of depth and movement without overwhelming the silhouette.


Because the base is a lightweight, translucent georgette, the print appears to almost float above the skin. The sheerness adds airiness to the design, allowing the metallic elements to stand out even more vividly. On the sleeves, where the georgette is unlined, the print becomes especially ethereal—softly visible, never harsh, and beautifully textural.


What makes this print so versatile is its balance: it’s eye-catching but restrained, polished yet playful. Up close, you notice the shifting tonal highlights within each dot; from a distance, the overall effect is a gentle, all-over sparkle. It delivers just the right amount of shine for day-to-night dressing, offering an elevated alternative to bold sequins or heavy embellishment.

Elegant, modern and subtly cosmic, this print is a perfect example of how shimmer can feel refined, wearable and endlessly flattering.

Black Planets & Stars Embroidery

This embroidery turns a simple black base into a vibrant, cosmic story. Bold planets, stars and moons are stitched in saturated shades of pink, berry and warm orange, creating a lively contrast that immediately draws the eye. Each motif feels purposeful yet playful, arranged in a way that suggests a tiny universe orbiting across the back.


What stands out most is the texture. The raised embroidery threads give the artwork a tactile quality—each planet rounded with layered stitching, each star sharp and radiant. The combination of smooth satin stitches and finer detailing adds dimension, making the design feel almost animated, as though these celestial elements are glowing against the dark backdrop.


The palette is energetic but harmonious. The bright pinks introduce a joyful, modern edge, while the orange tones bring warmth and balance. Together, they create a fresh interpretation of cosmic imagery—less sci-fi, more whimsical stargazing with a fashion-forward twist.


This embroidery works beautifully for adding personality to everyday dressing. It’s the kind of detail that elevates a wardrobe staple without making it feel precious. Bold, expressive and full of charm, it captures the spirit of the Cosmic Heat trend perfectly: imaginative, radiant and ready to brighten any outfit.

Blue Denim, Bleached Stars

This denim star print brings an easy, relaxed take on celestial styling—perfect for everyday wear while still tying beautifully into the Cosmic Heat mood. Rather than high-shine metallics or embroidered texture, this design relies on a soft, bleached effect to create its constellation of stars. The result is subtle, playful and effortlessly wearable.


The stars are scattered evenly across the denim, giving the fabric a sense of rhythm without feeling busy. Because each star is created through a gentle wash technique, they appear slightly diffused at the edges, almost like clouds drifting across a twilight sky. It’s a more understated kind of cosmic motif—one that feels grounded, natural and a little nostalgic.


What’s special here is the balance between character and versatility. The denim base keeps the piece casual and timeless, while the star pattern adds a spark of personality. It’s the kind of print that works for those who love celestial themes but want something more low-key than shimmer or bright colour.


This print pairs perfectly with the relaxed silhouette of the piece, creating a look that’s modern yet cosy, fun yet sophisticated. Thoughtful details like classic stitching and metal buttons anchor the design, allowing the starry pattern to shine without overwhelming the garment. A fresh, wearable take on cosmic inspiration.

Black/Pink Doodle Stars

This bold star print brings a vibrant, high-energy twist to the Cosmic Heat story. Set against a deep black base, the vivid pink stars feel lively and expressive, creating a striking contrast that immediately catches the eye. The hand-drawn style of the stars adds personality—they’re not perfectly symmetrical, which gives the print a playful, almost doodle-like charm.


The all-over layout keeps the print dynamic and rhythmic. Each star seems to bounce across the fabric, giving the piece a sense of movement that feels youthful and confident. It’s a design that doesn’t fade into the background—it stands out, energises an outfit and brings a sense of fun to cooler-season dressing.


What makes this print especially appealing is how wearable it remains despite its boldness. The black ground anchors the look, while the hot pink injects warmth and cosmic flair without tipping into novelty. It’s a perfect example of how the Cosmic Heat palette can be both dramatic and approachable.


On a fitted silhouette like this, the print feels sleek and modern—ideal for layering under knits, pairing with denim or elevating with tailored pieces. Radiant, expressive and full of attitude, this star print is a celebration of colour and creativity, offering a confident way to embrace the season’s celestial mood.

Burgundy Spaced-Out Stars

This star print brings a warm, playful spin to the Cosmic Heat story, blending comfort with a bold, celestial edge. Set against a rich burgundy base, the oversized star motifs in bright candy pink create a striking contrast that feels both cosy and expressive. The stars themselves have a soft, hand-drawn quality, with open outlines that keep the look light, spacious and easy to wear.


The burgundy ground gives the design a grounded, autumn-ready feel, while the pink accents add that burst of cosmic colour that keeps the trend uplifting. It’s a palette that feels modern yet reassuring, perfect for those who want to tap into the celestial mood without leaning into metallics or high shine.


Because the print is spread generously across the fabric, it creates a fun, repeat pattern that energises even the most relaxed silhouette. On a casual sweatshirt like this, the stars feel friendly and approachable—less polished, more playful, with a touch of retro charm.


This is the kind of print that slots seamlessly into everyday style: throw it on with denim, layer it under a jacket or wear it with leggings on slow weekends. It’s bold without being overwhelming, offering a cheerful, wearable take on the season’s starry inspiration.

Pink/Black, Splatter

This splatter print brings a burst of playful, artistic energy to the Cosmic Heat collection, offering a more abstract take on the trend’s celestial mood. Instead of stars or planetary motifs, the design uses irregular black splashes scattered across a vibrant candy-pink base—creating a look that feels spontaneous, expressive and full of movement.


The beauty of this print lies in its unpredictability. Each splatter varies in size and shape, giving the fabric a hand-painted quality reminiscent of ink drops or cosmic dust drifting across a bright nebula. It’s bold but not fussy—there’s no strict pattern repeat, which keeps the overall effect relaxed and modern.


The pink backdrop adds warmth and brightness, making the print feel uplifting and youthful. Paired with the stark black marks, it creates a confident contrast that stands out without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of print that instantly energises a simple silhouette, bringing personality and attitude to everyday dressing.


On a casual tee, the splatter motif feels especially wearable. It adds a creative edge to denim, works effortlessly under jackets, and brings a sense of fun to laid-back styling. Graphic, playful and slightly rebellious, this print is a fresh way to tap into the season’s artistic, cosmic spirit.

Styling Cosmic Heat

Cosmic Heat is designed to be expressive, wearable and easy to elevate. A few ways to bring it to life:

  • Mix shimmer with structure
    Pair a semi-sheer star-printed blouse with solid denim to balance softness and strength.

  • Lean into the palette
    Try combining deep indigo with candy pink for an unexpectedly uplifting autumn look.

  • Let one cosmic piece lead
    A metallic-spot dress or embroidered star jumper can act as the statement—keep accessories minimal to let the details shine.

  • Dress it up or down
    Cosmic denim with a simple knit is an effortless daytime look; swap for a sequinned top and the outfit moves straight into evening.

  • Play with layers
    A twill jacket layered over a georgette blouse adds dimension that echoes the depth of a starry sky.

Cosmic Heat offers versatility: you can go bold with full celestial prints or subtle with a hint of shimmer.

A Final Note

Cosmic Heat isn’t just a trend—it’s an invitation to step into something imaginative. It blends warmth, shimmer and celestial storytelling, giving each piece an emotional glow. Whether through embroidered constellations, luminous metallics or playful doodle stars, this trend brings a sense of wonder and confidence to the colder months.
