Barbara Tfank, a designer based in Los Angeles, is deeply rooted in the film industry. Her recent obsession with Netflix’s remake of The Leopard, set in 19th century Sicily, showcases her love for historical films. She recommends watching Visconti’s 1963 film before diving into the limited series to truly appreciate the storyline.

When you look at Tfank’s clothing designs, you can see why she is drawn to historical narratives. She has a penchant for creating timeless pieces that require meticulous craftsmanship. Her fall 2025 collection, while modern, exudes a regal elegance reminiscent of a bygone era.

The collection features off-the-shoulder dresses in various styles, ranging from traditional brocade designs to lace-infused numbers with a youthful flair. Responding to client requests for more daytime-friendly options, Tfank introduces a versatile skirt that pairs effortlessly with a button-up shirt or a sleek turtleneck. To transition seamlessly from day to night, the skirt comes with a matching capelet, adding a touch of sophistication for evening outings.
