The Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks have once again established themselves as an essential barometer of contemporary fashion. For the Spring/Summer 2025 season, women's fashion is rich, contrasting, and constantly evolving. Between nods to the past and impulses toward the future, key trends are reinventing the codes of the summer wardrobe.
Femininity reaffirmed
Structured chic is back. The feminine silhouette is gaining body. Goodbye to the romantic blur, the cuts are clean, the materials add a certain nobility, and the lines have been designed to magnify the body while allowing free rein for movement. Chloé et Hermès set the tone with carefully finished, stripped-down pieces, while asserting a relaxed attitude that embodies a submissive but free woman, never too feminine. A femininity that no longer seeks to be apologetic.
Bohemian style, 2025 version
Bohemian style has made a strong comeback, but this time with a more urban, urban approach. Isabel Marant desacralizes the genre with references – suede jackets, soft textures, variable overlays, as for the house of Yves Saint Laurent, She modernizes the style through a skillful sensuality with dresses that take to the open sea, long dresses that fly away, evanescent dresses. The silhouette is free but not neglected.
Textures & volumes: boldness in situ
There's movement in the air! Materials are in the spotlight! Fringes, overlays, asymmetrical cladding, and sheer effects are all featured on the catwalk. Nanushka focuses on the fluid movement of textiles, while Marques' Almeida indulges in an exaggeration of volumes, contrasts and chosen assemblages, in the service of a dynamic sculpture. The garment ultimately becomes an embodied sensory experience.
The triumphant green
From eminently garden green, celadon green, to chartreuse green, the chlorocyclic allure sets the pace for next summer's collections and is a symbol of hope and renewal. Green will reign supreme.
At Ganni, we dress in vitamin-rich crochet tops; at Hill Road, we evoke a nature that is sometimes mutant, sometimes poetic... A chromatic ode to the awakening of plants.
Lingerie is revealed
Everyday sensuality. Lingerie emerges from the drawer and is displayed in broad daylight. Delicate lace, masterful sheerness, and corsetry details are subtly integrated into ready-to-wear. Valentino et Balenciaga blur the lines between the intimate and the public, injecting a muted sensuality into modern, assertive daytime silhouettes.
Sporty elegance
Between performance and style, sportswear takes on an air of haute couture. Victoria Beckham et Dior revisited athletic codes with minimal leotards, ballet-inspired cuts, and enhanced technical fabrics. Comfort and style are no longer in opposition: they coexist gracefully in a hybrid and desirable wardrobe.
Accessories are becoming major stylistic anchors. Brooches are back, with floral interpretations at Versace or more theatrical at Tanner Fletcher, playing on the accumulation of antique jewelry. More than simple complements, these objects reveal a personality, perfect a look.
Summer 2025 promises to be a true balancing act, balancing strength and fluidity, structure and lightness, past and future, boldness and elegance. Designers are reaffirming their ability to offer fashion that responds to societal changes without sacrificing aesthetic emotion. A wardrobe designed for a diverse, modern woman, resolutely forward-looking.
