You can find the fashion shows that marked this season’s Fashion Week in Paris below.
Dries Van Noten
Julian Klausner’s debut show for Dries Van Noten Fall/Winter 2025, held at the Palais Garnier in Paris, was a veritable operatic spectacular, in which the new creative direction brought together opulence and play. Klausner successfully combined past and future, with an emphasis on dramatic proportions in tailoring, where coats and jackets with oversized collars and cuffs created striking silhouettes. A sense of history and theatricality was present through details inspired by the opera, such as beads, sequins and ribbons that became unusual but powerful accessories. The collection played with color contrasts, from rich green and purple tones to classic blacks and grey-blues, and a new approach to formality, through draped dresses and bows, added a modern interpretation of elegance. Klausner has successfully combined past and present, creating a collection that celebrates transformation and personal ritual.
Tom Ford
Haider Ackermann’s Tom Ford Fall/Winter 2025 show was a sophisticated fusion of night and day, desire and beauty. In a mysterious atmosphere, the models wore clothes that elegantly hugged the body, with vertical lines and architectural shapes that illuminated the silhouette. Ackermann managed to reinterpret the Tom Ford code, adding lightness, pastel tones and sensuality, but keeping the depth of neutral colors like black and gray. The collection was discreet yet seductive, with an emphasis on simple yet striking beauty, leaving the audience with a sense of desire and contemplation.
Alaia
The Alaia show was a real refresher in the world of fashion, where subtle minimalist scenography and sculptural models came together in an unforgettable moment. In the new headquarters of the fashion house in Paris, Mulier presented a collection that surpassed the usual fashion trends. He drew inspiration from various cultures, and the models wore abstract, bold creations adorned with elements of the Middle East, North African costumes, as well as the Spanish bolero jacket, all in dominant voluminous forms. Each creation carried a sculptural quality, celebrating the female silhouette and creating a sense of security and strength in uncertain times. The show was more than just a fashion event; it was a true meditation on cultural exchange and the creation of new connections in the world.
Dior
The Dior Fall/Winter 2025 show, under the creative direction of Marie Grazie Chiuri, presented a collection that fused modernity with Victorian charm, exploring the transformative power of fashion. On the stage, which took the shape of a square arena, models wore high-necked dresses, flowing lace pieces, as well as structured leather and velvet jackets, all in a perfect balance between past and contemporary aesthetics. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando, the show embraced layering, cultural references and gender fluidity, with lace collars as a constant motif. Sports corsets, trench coats, macramé sweaters and the return of
J’Adore Dior T-shirts completed the everyday yet innovative look. Through Robert Wilson’s carefully orchestrated choreography, each look became an artistic expression, balancing fantasy, history and contemporary design.
