Alaïa

Sculptural and savoir-faire, Alaïa’s F/W ‘25 collection is inspired by thoughts of history, geography, sculpture, and, of course, women. Creative director Pieter Mulier once again highlights the brand’s artful approach to fashion, bringing to life “kinetic sculptures” (as he calls it) made out of highly intricate pleating, spiraling drapes of fabric, and cocoon-like layers—adding volume and creating movement in each step.

Balmain

A perfect blend of prints, textures, and proportions. At the Balmain show, designer Olivier Rousteing was all about elevating the classic: from the classic boot to the classic knits. For the F/W ‘25 season, each look in the collection was meant to be a statement—a standout signature piece. Whether it’s a zebra print coat, a yellow boot that rises to the thigh, or a one-piece hooded cashmere knit in variations of a dress or a romper. 

Schiaparelli

Schiaparelli dresses the chic cowgirl. A nod to his Texan roots, creative director Daniel Roseberry presented the “Lone Star” collection. With denim pieces, thick western belts, and elevated leather—from fringed coats to boots that rise to the crotch—the F/W ‘25 show gives the Schiaparelli glamour a country flair.  As always, Roseberry remains true to the French house’s DNA, referencing Elsa Schiaparelli’s early work (most notably with recreations of her evening jackets from the 1930s) and a touch of surrealist gold jewelry. 

Louis Vuitton

Since Louis Vuitton’s early beginnings crafting trunks and luggages, the French house has since evolved and redefined travel dressing. Inspired by this spirit of exploration, Creative Director Nicholas Ghesquière creates a collection that dresses women in all sorts of coats, warm layers, and hand carries—bringing back the Louis Vuitton signatures and introducing its latest designs.

Saint Laurent

In strong silhouettes and rich colors, creative director Anthony Vaccarello creates another empowering collection at Saint Laurent. Reminiscent of ‘80s power dressing and a touch of minimalist versatility, models walked down the runway in wide-shouldered jackets, narrow pencil skirts, and sheer floral lace. Embodying the YSL woman, Bella Hadid made another of her now-rare Fashion Week appearances, wearing a lacy blue dress on the Saint Laurent F/W ‘25 runway.

Chloé

No one does boho chic quite like Chloé. This season, creative director Chemena Kamali once again dresses the Chloé girl in layers of delicate lace, flowy sheers, and soft ruffles—but, this time, with the addition of furs for the fall-winter weather. Despite taking on a more subdued palette of browns, plums, and blue-greens, the collection remains bohemian and dreamy—a direction taken by Kamali which is now growing into a beloved Chloé signature. 

Dior

As the first major presentation at Paris Fashion Week, Dior certainly made quite an impression this season. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s novel “Orlando”, the F/W ‘25 collection is shaped around its themes of self-discovery, looking into the celebration of femininity throughout history. Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri makes nods to historical dressing while subverting women’s fashion by taking references from masculine style (from the culottes to the mess jackets and ruff collars). 

Stella McCartney

At the F/W ‘25 show, Stella McCartney introduces #STELLACORP—where the corporate woman becomes the main character. Taking up space with big shoulders, thigh-high boots, and classic Saville Row tailoring, the collection is a lesson on power dressing, keeping it bold yet sophisticated and sustainable (with pieces made out of animal cruelty-free textiles and plant-based materials). From office hours to after-hours, Stella McCartney knows how to keep it feminine and elegant yet fun and comfy. 

Tom Ford

At Tom Ford, a new era has begun. During the F/W ‘25 show, newly-appointed creative director Haider Ackermann received a standing ovation for his debut collection at the brand. Remaining true to Tom Ford’s classic codes of sharp dressing, modern appeal (with a touch of the ‘70s), and elegant sensuality, Ackermann’s first presentation exemplified exactly that. Models walked down the runway in a blend of suits, evening dresses, and fall-winter wear, each made with pristine fabrics and exquisite tailoring.

McQueen

The McQueen F/W ‘25 show is all about the Neo-Dandy. A collection with an air of mystery and romanticism, designer Sean McGirr blends the modern spirit of dandyism with references to Victorian Gothic style, creating exaggerated silhouettes, layers of flounce, and a touch of historical fashion—from the ruffled collars to the pointed puff of a shoulder jacket.
