Di Petsa Fall 2025 Fall 2025
Dimitra Petsa has been deep in the trenches of love. Not just the saccharine, rom-com kind, but the all-consuming, boundary-blurring, body-worshipping kind—the stuff of erotic literature, Venus in Furs, divine sexuality, and feminist sexual theory. She’s been reading, obsessing, and writing—because of course, she’s writing a book. A whole book, coming out this year, dedicated to the very concept behind this collection: reclaiming female sexuality and desire, stripped of shame, on its own terms.
Central Saint Martins MA Fall 2025
Let’s be real—if London Fashion Week ever lost its spark, Central Saint Martins MA graduates would be the ones to reignite the flame. They basically are London fashion. No exaggeration. Fourteen alumni—across multiple generations—are showing this week. Roksanda, Simone Rocha, Mark Fast, Ashish, Richard Quinn… the list goes on. Then there’s the new guard: Paolo Carzana, Kazna Asker, Pauline Dujancourt, Jawara Alleyne, Charlie Constantinou, Yaku. And don’t forget the ones making waves off-runway with lookbooks—Steve O Smith, Stefan Cooke, Derrick. Alexander McQueen walked so they could run. And for decades now, CSM grads have been everywhere, tucked inside the design studios of the world’s biggest fashion houses—Kim Jones is just one name in an endless sea.
Burberry Fall 2025
Could Daniel Lee actually be the one to save Burberry? Like, for real this time? Last season was… let’s call it restrained (some would say underwhelming, but let’s be nice). Blame it on the inevitable executive shuffle—it happens. But this time? Burberry was back, in full capital-F Fashion mode. Tate Britain’s Duveen Galleries turned into a who’s who of celebrity guests, the kind of blockbuster lineup that screams important fashion moment. But hype can only carry a brand so far. At the end of the day, the clothes have to hit.
Bora Aksu Fall 2025
Bora Aksu’s East London studio is lined with cracked china dolls. Their faces are chipped, their bodies fractured—each one carrying a quiet kind of tragedy. “I collect them wherever I go,” he says, surveying the room like a curator of forgotten souls. “But only the broken ones. The ones that have been rejected. I save them, and I mend them.”
Thom Browne Fall 2025
Two thousand origami birds hung above Thom Browne’s runway—fluttery and poetic, but don’t be fooled. The show kicked off with two models in head-to-toe gray, folding more birds at a table in the middle of the set. For a second, I thought we were getting a subdued, monochrome Thom moment. NOPE. Turns out this was one of his most colorful collections in ages—think candy-hued bird motifs and specially woven heritage tweeds bursting with life.
Proenza Schouler Fall 2025
If New York Fashion Week felt a little meh this season, blame Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. The Proenza Schouler co-founders exited the brand just three weeks before their usual fall show—leaving us all hanging. Rumor has it they’re headed to a European label (cue wild speculation), but in the meantime, the show must go on for the American house they launched 22 years ago.
