Paris Fashion Week
Recap F/W 2025

Paris Fashion Week F/W 2025 reaffirmed the industry’s shifting landscape—designers refining their identities, collections becoming more considered, and competition pushing brands toward higher standards. Strong showings from names like AURALEE, Studio Nicholson, and RIER reinforced this, resonating with both press and buyers. Unlike previous seasons, January’s audience was notably more industry-focused, signaling a recalibration of priorities Willy Chavarría’s 10th-anniversary show was the kind of moment that stays with you—raw, subversive, and deeply rooted in cultural identity. The energy in the room was different, the kind of enthusiasm rarely seen since the early days of Virgil Abloh’s influence.
As the week wrapped, the key takeaways were clear—cultural and authentic storytelling is becoming more integral, competition is driving innovation, and Fall/Winter remains the industry’s strongest stage.
