Paris Fashion Week 2025 was everything fashion should be - glamorous, unpredictable, and packed with unforgettable moments. From Chanel’s classic-meets-modern elegance to Balenciaga’s unexpected shift to simplicity, this season was all about reinvention. Let’s break down the biggest highlights, the hottest trends, and the celebrity moments that had everyone talking.
Chanel: Classic Tweed, But Make It Sparkle |
Chanel remains a Paris Fashion Week favourite, and this year was no exception. Virginie Viard reimagined the iconic tweed suit with crystal embellishments, oversized pearls, and delicate silk bows. This season, pearls and bows weren’t just details- they were the show’s defining statement. The front row sparkled just as much, with stars like Dakota Fanning soaking in the Parisian magic.

Balenciaga: Less Drama, More Chill |
Surprise, surprise - Balenciaga, known for its over-the-top silhouettes and edgy streetwear, toned it down this season. Demna Gvasalia went for a more minimalist, normcore vibe, with fitted puffers, dark slacks, and even plain gym tees. The biggest statement piece? A fur-lined hoodie labelled “Luxury”- because sometimes, simplicity says the most.

The Great Sustainability Debate |
Sustainability was a hot topic this season, especially after Gabriela Hearst’s show sparked debate. She paired vintage mink furs with faux alternatives made from sustainable silk schappe, a move that had some applauding her innovation and others questioning whether fur (vintage or not) has a place in ethical fashion. Either way, it got the industry talking, and that’s always a good thing.

Dior: A Love Letter to History (With a Twist) |
Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri turned to Virginia Woolf’s Orlando for inspiration, creating a collection that blurred the lines between masculine and feminine fashion. Think dramatic ruffled collars, pirate-style pantaloons, and gothic coats - basically, the kind of wardrobe you’d want if you were starring in an ultra-stylish period drama. It was a collection that felt bold, intellectual, and perfectly in tune with today’s conversations around gender and fashion.

Louis Vuitton: A Fashionable Trip Back in Time |
Nicolas Ghesquière took us on a time-traveling journey with his latest collection for Louis Vuitton. Inspired by the golden age of train travel and classic films, the runway was a mix of sleek, retro-inspired silhouettes and futuristic details. The show took place at L’Étoile du Nord, the former headquarters of a historic French train company, recently refurbished but not yet occupied by its new tenants. Next door to the bustling Gare du Nord station, it was the perfect setting for Ghesquière’s transportive vision. A collaboration with Kraftwerk added an extra layer of nostalgia meets innovation- because nothing says Paris Fashion Week like a blend of old-school luxury and cutting-edge cool.
