Chromat SS25

Spring 2025 Will Be Chromat’s Last Collection—At Least For Now

The triangle-top bikinis, high-waist one-pieces, and swim skirts that comprise Chromat’s spring 2025 collection were 15 years in the making—a culmination of the aesthetic and brand identity Bex McCharen has shaped since launching the label in 2010. They’re ending this chapter of Chromat on a high note; last week, McCharen shared with Vogue that spring 2025 will be Chromat’s final collection—at least for the foreseeable future. The post-pandemic economy, the current social and political landscape, and McCharen’s transition to a more trans masculine gender identity all played a role in the decision.

Chromat Unveils Spring 2025 Collection Ahead of 'Indefinite' Hiatus

After 15 years, Miami-based swimwear brand Chromat announced Thursday that it's going on an "indefinite" hiatus, but not before releasing a final Spring 2025 collection. The campaign tars LGBTQ+ models including Carmen Carrera and Rose Montoya. McCharen and Tourmaline — who previously collaborated in 2021 on a legacy collection for trans women who don't tuck called Collective Opulence Celebrating Kindred — reflected on this next phase of their collaboration in a video, where Tourmaline models pieces from the new collection on a rooftop pool.
