Louis Vuitton
The Louis Vuitton Men's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, curated through the lens of Pharrell Williams, delivers stories of celebration for the coexistence of diverse humanity under the concept 'Le monde est à vous' (The world is yours). Various designs in the collection stand out through sporty silhouettes that significantly reflect the bold DNA of the Maison. For instance, jackets crafted from calf leather, as well as suits and coats made from meticulously woven fabrics, are adorned with intricately embroidered details.
Hermès
Hermès Men’s Spring/Summer 2025, curated by Véronique Nichanian, embodies casual simplicity with intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship using high-quality materials. The collection showcases superb tailoring and leatherwork, creating a soft and relaxed vibe with lightweight silk fabrics. Classic suits are reimagined into more comfortable jackets, presented in shades of blue blended with earth tones, evoking a sense of comfort and relaxation at the heart of this collection.
Dries Van Noten
Another legendary show that cannot be overlooked is Dries Van Noten, the Belgian brand often dubbed the 'King of Prints' in the realm of fashion. This show can be likened to a final dance, as the two exceptionally talented designers announced their resignation as Creative Directors this past March. Consequently, this show has garnered the undivided attention of fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
The designs presented reflect the notion of this final dance as a definition of perfection in every dimension. The image of understated elegance and sophistication was conveyed through each piece showcased on the runway. Classic silhouettes combined with vibrant hues and gentleman-friendly tones such as black, gray, beige, and white, adorned with the brand's signature prints and embroidery techniques, created a harmonious composition. Once these elements are combined, there is no doubt that this show from Dries Van Noten considered as one of the best menswear show of the season.
Auralee
The Auralee Spring 2025 ready-to-wear show captivated audiences with its blend of urban sophistication and relaxed elegance. Set against the pearlescent walkways of Hôtel de Maisons, the collection evoked a serene evening park stroll illuminated by glass chandeliers and historic gold accents. Inspired by the calming routines of the locals, Auralee presented a modern wardrobe characterised by simplicity and versatility. Pale yellow suiting and heather grey knits reflected everlasting sunshine, while leather bombers and deconstructed button-downs added a touch of urban edge. Interestingly, the collaboration with New Balance further enhanced the collection to the next level, showcasing a palette of light green, yellow, blue, and brown in timeless silhouettes. Furthermore, the Auralee SS25 show exemplified the brand's evolving design language and reinforced its status as a standout at Paris Fashion Week, seamlessly blending timeless style with contemporary allure.
Acne Studios
Acne Studios' Spring/Summer 2025 menswear collection struck a chord with its bold and rebellious interpretation of superhero motifs and childhood nostalgia. The playful trompe l’oeil details and vibrant colour contrasts immediately captivated, evoking a sense of youthful whimsy and empowerment through fashion. Each piece seemed to tell a story of embracing innocence while embracing an edgy, self-defining style, making a solid statement about individuality and confidence. The collection's accessories, such as the multi-pocket bag and metal-accented boots, further enhanced its narrative of creative exploration and unapologetic self-expression, blending nostalgia with a contemporary urban edge freshly and excitingly.
Courrèges
Courrèges launched its Men's SS25 and Women's Pre-Spring 2025 collections with a blend of floaty satin, durable workwear canvas, and rugged, raw denim that updates shapes from the previous season with a sharp, 70s-inspired edge. The standout 'magic square' mesh tops feature abstract hiking-inspired graphics, leading both men's and women's styles and introducing the 'Friday Bowling' bag, which adds to the collection's energetic accessories line. Di Felice's designs for vintage scuba shorts infuse athletic details into everyday wear, creating a collection that evokes a feeling of modernity and adventure, blending urban functionality with seaside aesthetics.
