The Fall 2025 collections offered a masterclass in strength and femininity. Highly anticipated debut collections from Sarah Burton at Givenchy and Haider Ackermann at Tom Ford more than lived up to the hype, while what turned out to be Jonathan Anderson’s final collection for Loewe and Demna’s last ready-to-wear outing at Balenciaga (before he decamps for Gucci) only served to heighten the intrigue.
Across the runways, there was a bold emphasis on form, with designers like Pieter Mulier at Alaïa and Duran Lantink exploring and experimenting with shape and volume in innovative ways. Silhouettes were bold and sculptural, with exaggerated proportions, a fluidity, and finely tuned draping, while Miuccia Prada offered a radical new take on power dressing at Miu Miu, using traditional accessories like fur stoles, brooches, and wrist bags to drive home the message. Here are some of the key trends, looks, and ideas.
