Embracing Slow Luxury in a Fast-Paced World
The world keeps moving, but Coach’s Spring 2025 campaign, “On Your Own Time,” reminds us to slow down. Featuring Elle Fanning, Nazha, Kōki, and Youngji Lee, it challenges hustle culture, urging a new generation to set their own pace.
Shot through the lens of photographer Elaine Constantine, the visuals capture fleeting moments of stillness amidst the chaos. From busy sidewalks to digital overload, the campaign’s stars break free from the noise, shutting off distractions with a simple yet powerful gesture—zipping their Coach Tabby bags shut.
Style That Moves at Your Own Speed
Coach’s Spring 2025 collection embraces this philosophy, blending New York street style with fluid tailoring and relaxed silhouettes. Key pieces include the Chain Tabby, Brooklyn, Empire, and Teri bags, paired with Soho Sneakers, trench coats, and textured leather blazers. It’s luxury that feels personal, wearable, and expressive, without trying too hard.
And let’s talk about that moment in the campaign film, directed by Henry Scholfield. As Elle Fanning and Nazha walk through the city, bombarded by notifications and the pressure to stay ahead, they make a choice: slow down, reclaim their time, and move on their own terms. The scene is not only symbolic but also deeply empowering, making it one of Coach’s most resonant campaigns yet.
Gen Z and the Art of Living on Their Own Terms
Coach’s Chief Marketing Officer, Joon Silverstein, perfectly sums up the campaign’s message: “The pressure to constantly achieve holds people back from fully exploring their possibilities.” It’s a reality Gen Z knows all too well—the fear of “falling behind” in a hyper-connected world. But with “On Your Own Time,” Coach flips the narrative, encouraging individuals to find power in self-expression and intentionality.
Luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about authenticity, confidence, and knowing that true style comes when you own your pace. In this ever-moving world, Coach gives us permission to pause.
