Fashion and interior design have long inspired and influenced each other. Certain colors and patterns seen on the runway can start popping up in the latest textile launches, and sculptural furniture shapes have often been reimagined on the runway by creative titans. While some brands have dabbled in both worlds, such as Ralph Lauren, Hermès, and Tory Burch, not many have fully committed to full lines of furniture—but it seems 2025 is ushering in a change.
At this year’s Salone del Mobile, multiple fashion brands debuted signature furniture and home accessories showing this crossover into the interior design space. Louis Vuitton debuted its first-ever comprehensive home line, Louis Vuitton Home Collections, which encompasses everything from sculptural furniture to colorful tableware. Dolce & Gabbana Casa further solidified its position as a leader in home design with a captivating installation featuring their signature colorful patterns dressing new indoor and outdoor furniture, as well as the brand’s first-ever bed linen collection.
Meanwhile, Longchamp teamed up with acclaimed French designer Pierre Renart to create its debut furniture collection, which includes the Wave leather bench and a set of eight Ruban leather chairs. Plus, Italian fashion brand Loro Piana and furniture brand Dimoremilan partnered together to design an immersive Salone installation which paid homage to cinema and 1970s and ’80s design.
Fresh off the plane from Milan, VERANDA’s Style and Market Editor Catherine Smith says that the move of major fashion brands into the interior design sphere signifies a shift in luxury, encompassing not only the clothes you wear but also your overall lifestyle. Ever since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a noticeable rise in people investing time to design their homes as reflections of their personal taste and style—something that may have incentivized some fashion houses to expand.
Louis Vuitton’s showing at Salone del Mobile drew in the crowds with its diverse offerings.
She also notes that the rise of more personal social media platforms offers closer insights into the homes of influential people and their personal design style. People are becoming increasingly aware of trends, not just in fashion but also in interiors.
Smith says, “With social media and how many people it reaches, we’re getting glimpses into these people’s lives and the way they decorate. It’s a great source of inspiration…Why wouldn’t a fashion brand want to capitalize on this and explore how they can create items that fit into people’s homes?’
Other brands have also started to venture into home goods, with smaller home accessory collections gaining attention at Salone. Loewe presented a collection of handmade teapots developed by 25 architects, artists, and designers—including British architect David Chipperfield. The high fashion brand has also been exploring the world of textiles with a number of blanket and cushion offerings, much like The Row, which just launched its first homewares collection featuring cashmere linens.
Tableware is also having a major moment among fashion brands; Dior’s showcase at Salone, “Ode to Nature,” included vases, candlesticks, bowls, trays, and a carafe. Similarly, Emilia Wickstead is diving into tabletop with timeless geometric china patterns and embroidered linens.
Smith points out there’s a “revival of the true dining room and dinner parties,” resulting in people entertaining more seriously at home this year. Tableware has become an appealing avenue for these fashion brands, as it seamlessly blends style, entertaining, and home design.
As for the future, Smith predicts this crossover will only grow in scale, with fashion brands continuing to expand their offerings. She also notes that fashion houses will likely start partnering with more interiors-driven brands and furniture makers to create innovative pieces and collections.
