TREND REPORT: FALL-WINTER 2025
ROMANCE & DRAMA
Ruffles, lace, jabots, theatrical romanticism. Designers seamlessly continue the boho chic trend that took over the streets this summer, but they amplify it to the maximum. Dresses reminiscent of slips, intricate draping, puffed sleeves, and high collars evoke the spirit of the Victorian era, yet in a new, bolder form.
Subtle lace and lightweight fabrics merge with the aesthetics of deconstruction. We break romantic silhouettes with a leather belt, transparency, or fabric with a distressed effect. Dries Van Noten presents theatrical layers inspired by traditional sari, while Alexander McQueen revitalizes ruffles in a gothic, dark atmosphere.
(MINIMAL) VOLUME
Oversize fades into the background - now proportions are sculpted, architectural, almost futuristic. Shoulders take on geometric shapes, accessories receive geometric forms, and skirts and trousers resemble cocoons. It's a trend that demands confidence and appeals to minimalists with its fluid and pure lines.
Givenchy proves that even a leather jacket can become an avant-garde piece when the shoulder line shifts by a few centimeters. Pieter Mulier at Alaïa focuses on exploring the silhouette and monumental details, while Jacquemus and Loewe play with proportion with a touch of nonchalance.
BACK TO THE OFFICE
The office has never looked so fashionable. Blazers softly drape over the shoulders, and skirts appear in new forms - with draping or daring slits. Designers reinterpret the office chic trend, infusing it with dynamism. It's a style school for modern professionals and effortless elegance that transitions seamlessly from a business meeting to an evening outing.
Stella McCartney, with her latest campaign 'Laptop to Lapdance', perfectly understands this concept, while Jil Sander offers precision tailoring tempered with the extravagance of the 80s.
LADYLIKE
'Quiet luxury' gives way to an open celebration of femininity. It's a return to extravagance in haute couture form. Draped and flared dresses reach the ground, coats accentuate the waist, and mini handbags and pumps complete the look of a true lady. This is an aesthetic that combines elegance with a touch of edginess.
Brands extract a luxury from the styling that cannot be overlooked. Jacquemus brings elegance to the forefront, Fendi and Bottega Veneta revive miniature vanity bags, and Diesel plays with tweed and texture, adding a hint of punk character to the whole.
