The Fall-Winter 2025 shows offered new takes on corporate dressing and a few nods to the late American filmmaker David Lynch.

Creative director Pieter Mulier chose Alaïa’s new Paris headquarters in the 11th arrondissement as his show venue for fall 2025, presenting a collection that continued the label’s exploration of making clothes inspired by curvature and body sculpting.

Peplum has done a full 180, shedding its outdated reputation and emerging as one of the coolest silhouettes of the season. This time, it's less corporate and more sculptural with asymmetry, exaggerated proportions, and unexpected textures. Consider it proof that a little extra volume at the waist can feel effortlessly modern.

Celebrities including A$AP Rocky, Tems, and Tyla attended shows by Chanel, Miu Miu, and more while wearing sleek outfits in the global fashion city.

As the runways got loud with "boom boom," brands including Sandro, Maje and Maison Kitsuné focused on classic shapes and improved materials.

With that, the timing of Prada’s bullet bra makes sense. While the name sounds violent (another descriptor for the design is the “torpedo bra”), the name came from the shape the bias-cut bra molded the breast into—though, ironically, the design was also popular during World War I and II.

If Milan softened up with romance and New York leaned into Y2K grunge, Paris countered with sartorial surety — a wardrobe built for the sharp, the serious, and the spectacular. Coats are enormous, tailoring is back and drama is dialed up on every front.

How to dress for the harsh realities of the moment has been on the minds of many designers this season. The word “armor” keeps coming up, but although we want to feel protected, isn't it sometimes more productive—and inspiring—to feel uncomfortable?

Sculpted skin, tucked hair, and subtle smoky eyes are just a few of the DIY-friendly beauty themes designers sent down the French runways.

Inventive formats, artful flourishes, icons revisited and even witchy touches: there was no shortage of creativity in the shoes and bags for this season.

The most anticipated series of shows of the season has come to an end, Paris Fashion Week. And over its course, we’ve seen a heap of style moments unfold before our eyes—for some of us, it’s at the shows themselves,
