Paris Fashion Week has wrapped up after the spring 2025 season delivered some of the most inspiring catwalk trends. From new business jackets to soft trouser suits, these are the pieces we’d actually want to add to our wardrobe.
Feminine casual business jacket: Chloe
Chemena Kamali it’s single-handedly fueling the resurgence of the trinket-laden, feminine, boho style at Chloe, but if all the shenanigans are too much then do as Sienna Miller did when she took the front row of the show and distill the look for a more chic look. , modern atmosphere. An example is the numerous variations of the blouse jacket that Kamali created using the pattern of a 1970s blouse. Whether short or long striped, they’re a welcome update to the staid casual jacket look that’s been everywhere for a while now. One piece that can be dressed up or down, transforming an outfit. BH
Sarong skirt: Schiaparelli
At Schiaparelli, American Daniel Roseberry’s woman was slim-waisted and exuded slippery allure this season, whether wearing mermaid-like wet-look turquoise or luxe contoured denim. The collection was aimed at outfitting customers for sightseeing and travel, but there’s no better piece to luxuriate in next summer than sarong skirts. Sporty yet forgiving, this is a piece that can go with a crisp white shirt for high summer city wear, or a swimsuit and cocktail dress for beachside chic. BH
Floral dress: Loewe
Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe collections are vibrant and high-concept, but this is a designer who is also keenly aware of his commercial impact. She filled her runway with an assortment of spaghetti-strapped floral dresses with hoops at the bottom, creating a silhouette too wide to let anyone be the wiser about a big lunch. There is no doubt that celebrities and the artistic community will embrace the purest version of this idea. But on a broader level, this could herald the return of unashamedly beautiful, airy floral dresses. Women all over the world will rejoice. BH
Flowing silk dress: Victoria Beckham
Backstage after unveiling her collection on Friday evening, Victoria Beckham was particularly proud of the resin designs that opened her show. But what was sure to be a real hit were the effortless, slippery silk dresses that resembled melted chocolate poured onto the body to slim down and sculpt in all the right places. Beckham has already enjoyed a sales boom thanks to her similarly elaborate Bella dress, beloved by royalty and celebrities, and these designs seem to follow suit. Even better news? The models wore theirs with flats. BH
Jumpsuit: Hermes
Hermes’ creative director Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski, along with the rest of Paris, favors knee-length skirts, shorter jackets and flowy trousers with side zippers that allow for an adjustable silhouette. Most of their offerings here consisted of leather, sand, khaki and raspberry tones, as always with Hermes. Sometimes things can seem a little sparser; Hermes has placed more emphasis on bags (and to a lesser extent, shoes) than other houses. But this jumpsuit looks like Lauren Hutton This dress, which she wore in the front row of the Saint Laurent show last week, epitomized Vanhee-Cybulski’s light, understated touch. Los Angeles
A tight jacket: Alexander McQueen
I wasn’t able to attend Seán McGirr’s debut for Alexander McQueen in March, so I can’t judge whether it deserves the near-universal panning it’s received. If so, this was certainly a marked improvement. McGirr’s tailoring is sharp, if not perfect; The way some jacket sleeves hang may require some thinning. The shoulders were emphasized as they should be on McQueen, but not in a caricatured way. The sparkling chiffon evening gown seemed commercially viable, although it lacked the detailed beauty of its predecessor, Sarah Burton. Los Angeles
Pale trench coat: Akris
While other shows aim to shock, quiet Swiss brand Akris focuses on wearable looks in luxury fabrics. It makes a nice change. The trench coat may have started life on the front lines of World War I, but it works just as well in today’s smart urban wear as it did on Humphrey Bogart. This pale stone version with a comfortable belt provides effortless coverage. SS
Deluxe Strips: Sacai
Sacai founder and designer Chitose Abe is endlessly creative, creating new hybrids that transcend traditional dress codes. This makes their clothes both timeless and useful. The artist, who often mixes athletic pieces with classical codes, here transformed basic navy blue and white stripes into a glamorous tunic with a zhuzhy half-train on the back. For the right person, this is a non-contrived evening wear that looks cool and comfortable. You’d think Coco Chanel would approve of this, which is why there’s talk of casting Abe as the left-field option for the (currently vacant) senior position in that house. Los Angeles
Jacket with cropped collar: Celine
Hedi Slimane, who currently holds the top spot at Chanel (he resigned from his job on Wednesday), offered an elegant, sophisticated play on classic Coco Chanel chic at Celine this season. It can be read as the final audition. From cropped jackets (suede, beaded or wool) and knee-length (and shorter) pleated metallic skirts to flawless black patterned evening dresses (think Cristobal Balenciaga at her best), this Françoise Hardy-inspired wardrobe is quintessentially Parisian. The models have eyelash-twining fringes, thin eyeliner and Bambi legs. I love the jackets, blouses and the new bag with simple hardware. But you’ll need to be slim and young (or with a lot of attitude and old) to wear the whole look from head to toe.
When you say model, don’t think that any of them are on the catwalk. The media-phobic Slimane abandoned all that banter a few years ago, preferring to launch new collections with highly polished videos. This featured models in grand castles and gardens (shades of the 1961 art house classic Last Year at Marienbad, dressed by Coco Chanel). Selected journalists are invited to Celine’s left bank headquarters to see the clothes up close; The workmanship is magnificent. Los Angeles
Sporty outer layer: Miu Miu
There were loads of fun ideas on Miu Miu’s runway, from knee-length pleated skirts (Paris’ new favorite length), strappy top-end bags, chic bomber jackets to sporty parkas, multicolored sneakers, blazers, and geometric-patterned fleeces. trench coats… the list of wearable yet quirky pieces goes on and on. A special note: the ‘anti-bulk’ neon socks that most models wear with their sandals. If Dr Scholl doesn’t embrace the idea by next summer, they will need a change of leadership. Los Angeles
Soft trouser suit: Louis Vuitton
Creative director Nicolas Ghesquière has been playing with 1980s odds for a few seasons and is clearly enjoying it. It was upbeat and colorful. Broad shoulders and big puffy sleeves, long bomber jackets, bike shorts and bright primary colors show that the decade is still working its way through his system. But there is also a new softness. Flowing silk dresses, short in the front and long in the back, confirmed a trend seen on the catwalks over the past month. This draped, navy blue trouser suit is particularly eye-catching; wearable and understated; Does it mark a new era for a label known for its avant-garde red carpet statements? Los Angeles
