Ladylike
One of the standout trends: this look, rooted in elevated classics and staples, embraces a feminine twist on essentials, as seen in Virginie Viard’s final ready-to-wear collection for Chanel and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior this season.
Think new, quiet luxury, perfect tailoring, and elegant polish. Want to nail the look? Slip into “barely-there heels” and a ladylike jacket and voilà!
The Animal in You
From the resurgence of animal print to the enduring love affair with faux fur, fashion leaders want us to unleash our inner beasts!
Animal print has surged by 68% on the runway, with leopard print reigning supreme in the hearts of fashionistas.
While animal prints were prominent in the latest Marine Serre and Isabel Marant FW24 collections, it’s nothing compared to faux fur, which was all over the runways this winter, from Nicolas Di Felice’s Courrèges to Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu.
Red Led
This season was all about fashion passion, and what screams passion more than red? The Paris Fashion Week Women’s Fall-Winter 2024/25 catwalks were drenched in crimson, with the colour making a bold statement. It appeared 55% more on the runway this season, from Seán McGirr’s debut at McQueen to Chen Peng.
Want to join the trend? It’s easier than you think. Why not embrace the red tights craze or add a pop of crimson with accessories or a bag? Ravish in the red reign!
Double Denim
Are we seeing double, or has the denim-on-denim frenzy made a comeback from the 90s? You read that right: double denim is back and looks set to stay.
While some might call it a “fashion faux-pas,” the Parisian ready-to-wear womenswear runways and streets for Fall-Winter 2024/25 have proved otherwise. Daniel Roseberry championed the total denim look at Schiaparelli, ex-Posh Spice Victoria Beckham, and many others. What do you think, cop or drop?
See-through you
Paris Fashion Week Women’s Fall-Winter 2024/25 wasn’t shy, and neither should you be. The top fashion houses made it clear this season that they want to see everything, literally, by making transparency one of the leading trends.
Sheer fabrics have long been Anthony Vaccarello’s domain at Saint Laurent, but this year’s runway took it to a new level, with transparency taking centre stage.
Other brands joined the see-through revolution, too, with Jonny Johansson’s designs at Acne Studios and Chemena Kamali’s debut at Chloé embracing the trend.
