As Paris Fashion Week came to a close on October 2, the one-month-long 2025 Spring/Summer fashion weeks also concluded.

From the financial reports for the first half of 2024 released by various groups to reports from institutions like Barclays Bank, it is evident that the luxury goods market is currently soft. The just-ended 2025 Spring/Summer fashion week once again confirmed this. Most brands chose to stay in their comfort zone, repeating their own strengths. After watching the entire season, there were not many performances that were eye-catching or exciting.

Compared to the past two seasons where the debuts or farewell shows of many designers sparked discussions, this season's topics were much less intense.

The most attention-grabbing should be the T-stage debut of Alessandro Michele at Valentino, after taking over as creative director. The designer completely transformed the brand's style with his strong personal style. Although he also referenced the works of the brand's founders from the archives, the atmosphere of the entire show was still dominated by Alessandro Michele's own aesthetic language.

But in other words, it's very similar to his work at Gucci before. The lack of new chemical reactions after moving to a new brand is somewhat disappointing.

In this larger context, the 2025 Spring/Summer runway brought a chaotic season, reflecting various popular trends with contradictions and conservatism coexisting.

Classic Pieces Steal the Show: Power Suits, Statement Shirts

Neutral suits and shirts had a significant presence on the 2025 Spring/Summer runways. Following the brand's founder's classic style replicated in the 2024 Fall/Winter menswear show, SAINT LAURENT also repeated the same play in this season's women's show, with double-breasted suits paired with black-rimmed glasses, transforming models into Yves Saint Laurent himself.

Similar nostalgic, menswear-inspired suit jackets appeared on more brands' runways this season, including Bottega Veneta, with loose and long silhouettes, paired with neutral-colored shirts and knee-length skirts, aiming for a casual and effortless look.

In addition to nostalgic looks, the runways also showcased new suit pairing ideas, such as Ralph Lauren's "old money" style and DIOR's sporty vibe, while BALMAIN offered bold options with pagoda shoulders and unique cuts.

Neutral business scene shirts were also reinterpreted through changes in cut, details, and pairings, giving commuter shirts a different feel.

Continuation of Previous Popular Trends: Layering, Wrinkled Fabrics

Several popular trends from previous seasons continued in the 2025 Spring/Summer, such as Miu Miu bringing the "misfit dressing" style of layering, combining items from different age groups, styles, and scenes in a messy way.

Miu Miu's layering approach is indeed difficult to manage, but the runways also presented more mature layering styles, such as creating layers with semi-transparent chiffon fabrics.

Wrinkled fabrics continued to make waves on the 2025 Spring/Summer runways, with Bottega Veneta as the representative brand. Matthieu Blazy's creations this season, starting from a child's perspective, featured wrinkled suits, shirts, and dresses found crumpled in a box.

In contrast to Bottega Veneta's extreme wrinkled designs, there were some compromises like MICHAEL KORS, Victoria Beckham, FERRAGAMO, where classic neutral pieces were paired with a degree of wrinkles, making them more everyday wearable.

Contradictory Popular Elements Coexisting: Cream and Burgundy, Chiffon and Leather

Popular trends in this season's runway presented a bifurcated state. In terms of colors, the soft and fresh cream color was a prominent force this season, while amidst the overall subdued color palette, there were occasional bursts of highly saturated bright colors like burgundy.

Fabrics also displayed similar contradictions. Firstly, a trend was the flowing chiffon fabric, with many brands, including Burberry and Louis Vuitton, showcasing designs featuring chiffon maxi dresses, letting the lightweight fabric drape in various forms on the 2025 Spring/Summer runways.

In contrast to chiffon, leather made a strong statement, with brands like Coach offering vintage-style biker jackets, Bally presenting uniquely tailored leather designs, and Prada and Miu Miu displaying leather pieces with a retro-futuristic feel on the runways. Like chiffon, leather came in various forms.

Nostalgic Trend: Retro Patterns

Nostalgic emotions permeated this season's fashion week, with SAINT LAURENT revisiting the founder's classic styles, Bottega Veneta exploring parents' wardrobes from a child's perspective, Prada paying tribute to the space age... Although starting from different points, designers coincidentally chose to rewind the wheel of time to seek inspiration from memories.

Retro patterns were also a common expression medium for many designers in their nostalgic moments, with Prada, Versace, Miu Miu, and other brands featuring large areas of retro floral and geometric patterns on their runways.

LOEWE's chiffon maxi dresses this season were filled with vintage botanical prints, combining classic petticoats, retro patterns, simple cuts, and sneakers, showcasing timeless beauty.

When it comes to retro patterns, ETRO is certainly a major player, mixing decorative floral patterns with sporty tops, offering a different cross-temporal design language than LOEWE.

More Attention on Topics Outside the Runway

Compared to the content presented on the runway, topics related to personnel changes outside the runway are even more attention-grabbing. Before and after the fashion week, several brands made changes in creative directors, with Haider Ackermann appointed as TOM FORD's creative director, Sarah Burton joining GIVENCHY, and Hedi Slimane ultimately leaving CELINE, succeeded by Michael Rider.

During the fashion cycle, there were more rumors, involving mainstream fashion houses and celebrity designers. Jonathan Anderson might join DIOR for women's wear, Glenn Martens might move from Diesel to Maison Margiela... If these rumors come true, the discussions will escalate.

With the selection of CHANEL's creative director (Hedi Slimane or Simon Porte Jacquemus) and John Galliano's next destination (perhaps FENDI), among others, in the coming months, all these rumors may materialize.

Personnel changes will undoubtedly bring more freshness, and after a relatively dull season, the upcoming 2025 Fall/Winter fashion weeks should see a strong rebound.
