In a city synonymous with style, Paris Fashion Week 2025 once again cemented its place as the crown jewel of global haute couture.
From grand salons in the Marais to historic halls along the Seine, the world’s top designers unveiled their latest collections — a vivid blend of elegance, innovation, and outright audacity.
This season, the runways celebrated extremes. One moment you were swept into a dream of flowing silks and meticulously tailored silhouettes, and the next — jolted by metallic bodysuits, avant-garde headgear, or models stomping barefoot in sculptural cages.
Chanel opened with a masterclass in timeless femininity. Their collection, heavy with soft pastels and classic tweeds, reimagined the 1960s Parisian woman with a modern twist — neat, chic, and unmistakably poised. Closing the show was a bridal look that drew audible gasps: a hand-embroidered floor-length gown with over 2,000 pearls and a cathedral-length cape that shimmered like rain on the Seine.
Dior under Jonathan Anderson reimagined the Bar jacket and archive silhouettes in fresh tension with modern tailoring, bows, and playful proportions.
Alexander McQueen McGirr delivered some red carpet stunners. These included a gold sequined tank top dress with trailing white feather ruffles, and a spectacular parachute gown which he said symbolized release.
But it wouldn’t be Paris without a little rebellion.

Rick Owens, ever the provocateur, sent models down the runway with shaved brows, black contact lenses, and spiked shoulder extensions. The palette was dark, the mood dystopian, but every look had a magnetic pull — unsettling, yet utterly captivating. One model dragged a smoke machine behind her like a wedding train, leaving clouds of mist and murmurs in her wake.
Then there was Schiaparelli, Titled “Dancer in the Dark,” the collection was shown at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, a museum-space chosen intentionally to evoke more than just a fashion show: “less like a runway and more like a museum visit.”
The craftsmanship was undeniable; the impact unforgettable. One of the standout pieces from the collection was a striking suit entirely made from 6000 paintbrushes. Designed by Daniel Roseberry.
Thom Browne landed like a sci‑fi fairytale, featuring extra-terrestrial motifs, space alien heads, exaggerated proportions on his signature striped suits, and metallic gowns that transformed his tailoring into otherworldly costume.
