2. Boho at Chloé
Chloé’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection embraced sheer dresses, statement belts, and romantic ruffles. Creative director Chemena Kamali revived the ‘70s spirit with satin maxi dresses and bell sleeves. On the runway, models carried the iconic Paddington bag—its slouchy leather and signature padlock recalling its status as a 2000s “It” bag.

3. Sarah Burton’s debut for Givenchy
Since leaving Alexander McQueen in 2023, Sarah Burton’s next move was highly anticipated. Appointed Givenchy’s creative director in September 2024, she made her debut with the Fall/Winter 2025 collection, embracing Givenchy’s past. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s foundations, including the hourglass silhouette, she infused structured blazers with cinched waistlines.

4. Haider Ackerman for Tom Ford
This season celebrated another debut: Haider Ackerman for Tom Ford. His debut collection was a nod to Tom Ford’s late-‘90s era with models dressed in black leather ensembles, low-rise trousers and asymmetrical jackets. The collection was seductive and chic playing with low plunging necklines and high leg dresses for added drama and just the right amount of exposure.

5. No Privacy for Valentino
Creative director Alessandro Michele invited guests into a unique venue: part-bathroom, part-locker room, part-club. Models emerged from stalls dressed in sheer lace bodysuits and satin and bow-embellished gowns. The collection, titled Le Méta-Théâtre des Intimités, challenged the norms between luxury and intimacy.
