Moschino Fall 2025
If there was ever any doubt that Adrian Appiolaza is head-over-heels, madly, obsessively in love with fashion, today’s Moschino show erased it in a blizzard of confetti and a full-throttle celebration of the art, science, and pure alchemy of making clothes. At the preview, Appiolaza traced his inspiration back to Franco Moschino’s 1992 Mannequin dress—now part of the Costume Institute’s collection—a cheeky riff on the Stockman dressmaker’s dummy, except Moschino, ever the branding visionary, swapped out the Stockman logo for his own. (And for those keeping meticulous fashion history spreadsheets, yes, Moschino did it half a decade before Margiela.)
Tod’s Fall 2025
Matteo Tamburini is settling into his rhythm at Tod’s, refining the precise, pared-back aesthetic he first introduced three seasons ago. But today, his approach felt fuller—warmer, more layered, more assured. And let’s talk about the outerwear, because it was some of the best yet.
Etro Fall 2025
Fur has been everywhere this season—some of it good, some of it unnecessary, some of it a little too self-consciously ironic. But Etro? Etro sent out the kind you actually want to wear. Case in point: the opening look—a shaggy, near-regal wool fur coat, its bold black-and-white stripes giving just enough drama, shrugged over paisley-print trousers and a knitted waistcoat, insouciant and easy.
D&G Fall 2025
Milan is used to Fashion Week disruptions—the road closures, the screaming fans, the existential crisis of deciding whether last season’s Prada is still ironic enough—but today’s Dolce & Gabbana spectacle took it up a notch. Construction had shut down the tramlines outside their headquarters, so Domenico and Stefano, never ones to let a little civic inconvenience stand in the way of a moment, built their own raised stage in the street.
Max Mara Fall 2025
“I was trying to strike a balance between Jane Eyre’s iron-willed restraint and Catherine Earnshaw’s untamed, wind-swept ferocity—to find a woman who exists somewhere between these two emotional extremes.” That was Ian Griffiths’s pre-show thesis for a Max Mara collection that sought to bottle the stormy, windswept romance of the Brontëan heroines—high drama, but make it wearable.
Marni Fall 2025
What trick will Francesco Risso pull from his magician’s sleeve this time? That’s the anticipation a Marni show generates—every season, an unpredictable sleight of hand, a door swung open to a world that didn’t exist five minutes ago. Risso is one of those increasingly rare creatures in fashion: a true visionary, someone who doesn’t just make clothes but conjures entire universes, where quirk and craft meet in poetic, almost mystical collisions. His work is ineffable and deeply felt, lyrical yet potent—an antidote to an industry currently flailing somewhere between panic and paralysis, either chasing every trend at once or no direction at all.
