What Made These Stand Out More
-
Art meets heritage: Labels like Schiaparelli and Valentino fused couture craftsmanship with imaginative narratives.
-
Modern femininity & empowerment: Dior’s sporty-chic and Chiuri’s athletic references brought couture into the active-wear conversation.
-
Structural elegance: Ghesquière and Kamali showed that sophistication and ease can coexist through layering and flowing silhouettes.
Schiaparelli (Haute Couture SS25)
Daniel Roseberry’s couture went bold and avant‑garde, using bright colorways, antique ribbons, pearls, and surreal shapes—crafted as “future vintage” meant for women and their daughters alike.
Chloé (Ready‑to‑Wear SS25)
Chemena Kamali’s debut for Chloé tapped into 1970s nostalgia with boho‑chic flowy shapes, lace, florals, and gentle pastels—a joyous ode to summer and heritage.
Valentino (RTW SS25)
Alessandro Michele's first season for Valentino was poetic, philosophical, and visually rich—voluminous tulle, bow accents, vintage textures, lace, and fur combo—an ethereal celebration of beauty.
Louis Vuitton (RTW SS25)
Nicolas Ghesquière explored “soft power” through ethereal opulence—pairing structural tailoring with sheer layering and trunk-inspired runway staging inside the Louvre courtyard.
Dior (RTW SS25)
Maria Grazia Chiuri delivered sleek, black-dominant tailoring with asymmetric cuts, athletic-inspired couture, and hybrid accessories—empowerment woven into every stitch.
