Chloé

Chloé

Chloé’s AW25 collection saw Chemena Kamali continue to shape the house’s signature bohemian spirit with a fresh, modern perspective. Billowing silk dresses with high-neck ruffle details were layered under oversized shearling coats, striking the perfect balance between romanticism and wearability. Kamali played with texture – soft wool, rich velvet, and buttery leather – while a palette of chocolate brown, caramel, and blush added warmth and depth. A collection that felt both nostalgic and undeniably now.

Zimmermann

Zimmermann blended its signature romanticism with a darker, more structured edge. Billowing silk maxi dresses in autumnal hues were layered under sharply tailored coats, while intricate lace detailing and high-neck Victorian blouses nodded to vintage femininity. Standout moments included oversized leather belts cinching fluid silhouettes and intricate floral prints. As always, the accessories – think slouchy knee-high boots and statement gold earrings – sealed the deal, proving that Zimmermann knows exactly how to marry dreamy with directional.

Exaggerated proportions took centre stage, with giant pussybows, ruffled collars, oversized bows and intricate 3D floral appliqué transforming every look. Front-row stars included Naomi Campbell, Tyla and Dakota Fanning.

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham’s AW25 show redefined power dressing with a sleek, modern edge. Tailoring took centre stage, with sculpted blazers, fluid trousers and asymmetric dresses exuding effortless sophistication. Luxurious fabrics enhanced the collection’s polished appeal, while a muted palette of deep navy, charcoal, and ivory kept things chic and understated. Beckham’s signature precision was evident in the detailing, from artfully draped silhouettes to her now-iconic rolled hems. Echoing the fluidity of the silhouettes, the hair felt clean and simple. Led by hair stylist Anthony Turner, models wore low ponytails with smooth side partings, created using tools and products by ghd and Wella.

Alaïa

Alaïa was a lesson in sculptural precision, with Pieter Mulier once again redefining modern elegance. Sharp tailoring met fluid movement via body-contouring silhouettes, dramatic hoods and cinched waists creating a bold yet effortless aesthetic. Voluminous skirts sat low on the hips and beautiful draping added elegance and depth. Set against the intimate backdrop of the house’s Paris atelier, the collection felt powerful, refined, and undeniably cool – proving that Alaïa is still the brand of the moment.

Magda Butrym

Magda Butrym’s AW25 collection was a strong mix of power dressing, feminine allure and her signature 80s-inspired edge. Sculpted leather coats, oversized shearling jackets and slouchy fur-trimmed outerwear gave it a tough-luxe feel, while lace tights and corseted minidresses kept things unapologetically feminine. The contrast of structured leather with delicate lace and plush fur made for a collection that felt effortless, confident and cool.

Saint Laurent

Anthony Vaccarello doubled down on power dressing this season too – think, sharp-shouldered jackets, cinched waists and rich leather, while sheer leopard print added just the right amount of drama. With structured silhouettes and a moody, cinematic backdrop, this was Saint Laurent at its best – bold, sensual and polished.

Dries Van Noten’s runway show was the perfect mix of undone elegance and quiet luxury. Slouchy tailoring reigned supreme, with oversized blazers, wide-leg trousers and sharp-shouldered coats exuding a relaxed yet refined attitude. Luxe textures – think plush velvet and metallic jacquards –added depth, while embellishment and embroidery gave the pieces that signature Dries edge. The overall vibe was effortlessly cool, slightly offbeat, and undeniably chic – exactly what you’d expect from a brand that epitomises modern sophistication.
