Paris Top 10 Spring 2025 Fashion Shows

The middle stretch of a busy June that saw the fashion calendar squeezed tight in order to make room for the Paris Olympics, the Spring 2025 Men’s shows in Paris was for the most part characterized by strong yet sober-minded collections that saw designers stick to simplicity and their tried-and-true brand codes. Nonetheless, the week was punctuated by a few shining moments of daring artistry.

It was another strong season for the Japanese brands that call Paris their second home, with great collections from Kolor, Homme Plissé Issey Miyake, and Sacai. The same goes for local stalwarts like Dior and especially Loewe, for which Jonathan Anderson delivered an impressive exercise in artful restraint.

Dries Van Noten’s final collection at the helm of his eponymous label was a fitting victory lap for the fiercely independent designer who, through a design language of vibrant prints, uniquely rich material selection, and a subtle avant-garde flair, earned with integrity his reputation as one of the most beloved designers of those in the know.

But the undeniable standout moment of the season was Rick Owens’ deeply moving show that traded his usual black for white – a potent symbol of peace and renewal – and individual models for groups of 20 identically dressed individuals. It was a spectacle on the scale of his beloved Cecil B. DeMille films, and it sent a stunningly beautiful message of solidarity at a time when it is desperately needed.
