Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025: Highlights and Trends

Paris Fashion Week is always a highlight in the fashion calendar, and the Spring/Summer 2025 shows did not disappoint! With an exciting mix of innovative designs, bold colors, and unique silhouettes, this season’s runway was a true celebration of creativity. Let’s dive into some of the standout moments and key trends from this year’s event.

‍

1. Vibrant Color Palettes

This season, designers embraced bold and vibrant color palettes, moving away from the muted tones of previous years. Expect to see a resurgence of electric blues, sunny yellows, and fiery reds dominating the runways. Labels like Chanel and Dior showcased eye-catching hues that are sure to make a statement in your wardrobe.

2. Playful Proportions

Oversized silhouettes and exaggerated proportions were prevalent throughout the collections. From voluminous skirts at Balenciaga to oversized blazers at Isabel Marant, designers pushed the boundaries of traditional tailoring. This trend invites playful styling and encourages fashion lovers to experiment with shapes.

3. Sustainable Fashion Takes Center Stage

Sustainability continues to be a significant theme, with many brands prioritizing eco-friendly materials and ethical production practices. Stella McCartney led the charge, showcasing a collection made from innovative recycled fabrics, while Chloé focused on timeless pieces designed for longevity. This commitment to sustainability resonates with the modern consumer and sets a positive tone for the industry.

4. Futuristic Elements

Futuristic aesthetics were prominent, with metallic fabrics, holographic designs, and tech-inspired accessories. Balmain and Louis Vuitton presented looks that merged high fashion with technology, creating a sense of innovation that captures the spirit of the times. Expect to see these elements influencing everyday street style in the coming months.

5. Romantic Femininity

Soft, romantic silhouettes also made a strong impression, with flowing fabrics, delicate florals, and lace detailing. Designers like Valentino and Elie Saab highlighted feminine elegance through dreamy gowns and ethereal dresses, perfect for spring and summer occasions.

6. Statement Accessories

Accessories played a crucial role in completing the looks, with oversized sunglasses, bold jewelry, and chunky footwear taking center stage. Expect to see dramatic earrings and statement bags that elevate any outfit, adding a touch of personality and flair.

Favorite Designers/Brands

‍

1. Schiaparelli

Schiaparelli all the way. I love the brand so much because the silhouette is beautiful and the draping is stunning. If I had to describe the brand in a sentence it would be: the blueprint for elegant and chic fashion. Let this be my love letter to Schiaparelli.

2. Valentino

Try imagining a grandma with impeccably stylish eclectic fashion and Valentino S/S 2025 would be it. I mean this in the BEST way possible. I honestly love this collection so much because there is such a strong brand identity in the sense that if you saw someone wear this in public, you would immediately know who the designer is. If I had to describe the brand in a sentence it would be: future me would be jealous.

3. Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham has really started to find her own aesthetic for the brand and it's really starting to show. I wasn't expecting for VB to be one of my personal favorites for Paris Fashion Week but here we are! I love how she always has a wow factor garment. If I had to describe the brand in a sentence it would be: redefining the style of chic.

Designers With Potential To Be The Next It-Brand

‍

1. Steve O Smith

Steve O Smith's garments are easily recognizable and that is a strong factor to become the next it-brand. Their designs make you wonder how they made the garment and if it's been drawn on. It's so unique and eye-catching. I can't wait for the day that everyone knows Steve O Smith.

2. Yohji Yamamoto

Yohji Yamamoto is playfully punk. Unlike other brands that constantly change their aesthetic and design based on future trends and colors, Yohji stands tall in their own style. I truly believe that more brands should stand by their own unique style. Vivienne Westwood did it, Yohji Yamamoto can too.

3. Ferrari

If Ferrari can build exclusive cars that are loved by a majority of the population, they can divert some of that energy for their garments. They currently stick to elevated basics and they should keep doing it. Like how Ferrari doesn't do advertising so it can be a quiet luxury brand, they should follow that motto for the clothes so it's still subtle and elevated basics for the quiet luxury aesthetic.
