Tom Ford SS 2025
Haider Ackermann’s buzz-worthy appointment as creative director of Tom Ford earlier this month may have made the interim, studio-produced collection at Milan feel a little less exciting, but its steady climb in the Vogue Runway rankings shows that the Tom Ford name still holds weight, even without a big-name designer steering the ship.
Bottega Veneta Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
This season’s collection was all about tapping into the magic of childhood. “I wanted to capture that sense of ‘wow,’ the wonder you feel as a kid trying something on for the first time,” Blazy explained. He likened it to a sort of primal introduction to fashion—those moments of raiding your parents’ wardrobe and discovering oversized jackets or mismatched items. The runway reflected this playful spirit, with oversized jackets, asymmetrical wrap skirts, and quirky pieces like a crinkled black tank dress or shirtdresses in khaki and navy that looked like they’d been scrunched up at the bottom of a toy chest, just waiting for a dress-up session.
The Attico Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
The Attico Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection brought its signature boldness and attitude to the runway, with a collection that felt like a love letter to resilience—perfect for a post-breakup power move. Set in an industrial, raw space (very on-brand for the duo), the show exuded that irresistible mix of undone glamour that’s become a hallmark for the label. It was a brilliant juxtaposition of fragility and strength, vulnerability and fierceness, all wrapped up in The Attico’s unmistakable style.
Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
At Dolce & Gabbana this season, it’s clear that blondes really do seem to have more fun. Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have been noticing a growing seriousness in the fashion industry lately. “Fashion is a serious business, yes—but now it feels *too* serious,” Dolce remarked. For spring, they decided to lighten things up by taking us on a cinematic journey, drawing inspiration from some of Hollywood’s most iconic blonde bombshells—think Marilyn Monroe, Monica Vitti, and Marlene Dietrich.
Versace Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
This collection had a fresher, almost playful vibe by Versace standards—more sweet than sizzling. Think baby pastels, slip dress and cardigan sets, denim, and tiny shorts. Oh, and let’s not forget the perfume bottle and champagne glass heels. But the real magic was in the color combos—something you wouldn’t have seen in the old Versus days. Like that caramel camp shirt paired with lavender trousers? Or a copper tank with a lilac skirt?
Gucci Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
His muse this season? Jackie O – Gucci client back in the day, eternal style icon. She’s been inspiring designers for decades. “I came across this description in the archives that called her style ‘casual grandeur,’ and that just stuck with me,” he mentioned. And with the whole Kennedy clan making a comeback the timing felt almost too perfect.
