The recent Fall/Winter 2025 Paris Fashion Week season was a playground for boundary-pushing creativity, humor, and nostalgia, introducing new styling trends for the upcoming seasons. Let’s dive into some of the most unforgettable and remarkable collections this season, which encouraged us to rethink what it means to dress for the future, the present, the past, and all that goes in between. Take a look!
Louis Vuitton Secret Station Show
On the way to the runway, editors and guests wondered where the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 25′ show was and why they were required to take a shuttle bus to get there. As confusion stirred amongst the guests for the show in the shuttle bus, the L’Étoile du Nord was finally revealed to be the location of the runway show. According to Vogue Runway, L’Étoile du Nord is a secret train station and former headquarters of the train station that predates the national railway of France (Vogue Runway). In celebration of its iconic luggage designs, this Louis Vuitton collection was created around its signature pieces, such as the timeless Keepall and the debut L’Express shape.

Stella McCartney “From Laptop to Lapdance”
Marking a return to glamor in an 80s office-inspired atmosphere, Stella McCartney’s Paris FW 25 created a playful blend of workwear with high-fashion decadence. Her designs incorporated suits, hooded coats, and sleek silken gowns made from sustainable materials such as Yatay M, a vegan fabric made of fungi mycelium (HypeBae). With red lips and power suits, this collection embraced bold glamour and proved that luxury and sustainability can coexist in fashion.
Skirts Over Pants? GANNI Setting Trends on their Runway Show this Season
The Paris Fashion Week GANNI Fall/Winter 25’ collection introduced a maximalist combination of prints and materials drawn from the opulence and faded charm of domestic interiors (GANNI). This womenswear collection embraced a balance of elegance and experimentation with its featured cocooning silhouettes, exaggerated skirts, and flared coats.
Creative Director Ditte Reffstrup notes that, “with this collection, I wanted to bring that essence to the GANNI Woman’s wardrobe—one that cocoons and protects, yet allows for self-expression. It’s an invitation to reconnect with spaces that make your heart feel most at ease.” (GANNI)
A motif of this collection was the styling of voluminous skirts over pants. Could this styling emerge as a new trend for the Fall/Winter season? While we have seen this styling before, GANNI exacerbates the skirt-over-pant looks with an even bulkier aesthetic.
The Child-like Wonder of Playing Dress-up with Zomer
Inspired by the “child-like wonder of dressing up,” Zomer’s creative directors, Danial Aitouganov and Imruh Asha, broke typical runway structures. Zomer’s Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 25′ show began with a dramatic final walk and ended with the models’ backs turned while waving to the guests. This collection deepened their exploration of altering traditional styling, with jackets worn backwards, zippers located on the spine, oversized and exaggerated collared shirts worn upside down, and more, challenging conventional styling approaches.
Future Nostalgia and Supersized Accessories with Vaquera
New York-established brand Vaquera set the stage at a concrete bunker to present their Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 25’ collection. When designing the collection, Bryn Taubensee and Patric DiCaprio aimed to shift from their underground roots. According to Dazed Magazine, Vaquera began as an act of subversion and was designed to challenge fashion systems with extreme ideas. The focus in their Fall/Winter 25’ collection transitioned to wearability and the concept of “new basics.” This collection features larger-than-life accessories such as bras and pearl necklaces, taking inspiration from the past and how Vaquera sees the future of fashion.

Fur and the Free-Spirit with Chloé
In her second collection, designer Chemena Kamali reaffirmed her aesthetic, a bold celebration of boho yet edgy romance in the Chloé Fall/Winter 25’ collection at Paris Fashion Week. Kamali’s designs have significantly impacted the fashion world, particularly with her signature flowing ruffles, bleached colors, and whimsical silhouettes (New Wave Magazine). Her refreshingly radical designs and approach to romance are beautifully nostalgic and celebrate a feminine, freeing vision. One of her design motifs is her use of incorporating fur with the free-spirit attitude of the collection.
