Max Mara Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
Max Mara’s Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection, showcased at Milan Fashion Week, was a fusion of fashion and science, with creative director Ian Griffiths drawing inspiration from the Apple TV+ series *Lessons in Chemistry* and trailblazing women in science like Hypatia, the 4th-century philosopher and mathematician.
Roberto Cavalli Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
Puglisi’s been steering the Cavalli ship for over three-and-a-half years now, and wow, has he put his stamp on it. It’s still one of the bolder, louder voices in Milan, sure—but it’s a lot more dialed back compared to the founder’s wild, in-your-face era. Puglisi has worked hard to find that sweet spot between Cavalli’s signature flash and everyday wearability. And yes, those seven jaw-dropping event dresses are going to make headlines (as they were clearly meant to).
Jil Sander Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
Lucie and Luke Meier took Jil Sander down a darker, more intense path this season, a reflection, they said, of the world’s current state. It feels like we’re in an era where only the tough make it through—so seeing fashion embrace prettiness might seem a bit offbeat. Last season, the Meiers leaned into softness with their swaddled silhouettes and feminine touches, but this time, the mood shifted, adapting to the tougher reality outside our windows.
Etro Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
At Etro’s show, the runway was lined with these massive cast-iron and concrete agaves, all in full bloom—a pretty striking nod to a plant that flowers only once before dying off. It’s a bit poetic, right?
Marni Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
The Marni show unfolded in the brand’s headquarters, an expansive and minimalist space bathed in moody, dark red lighting. Unlike the usual chaos of fashion week, there were no throngs of screaming fans vying for a glimpse of celebrities. Instead, a maze of seemingly random chairs surrounded three sleek black grand pianos, creating a disorienting yet intimate atmosphere.
Fendi Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
We began with airy drop-waist dresses, adorned with Art Deco motifs and pearl-trimmed botanical reliefs. While there were some fringed hems, these weren’t retro flapper pieces. Instead, Jones pared down the shapes and modernized the necklines, giving them a ’90s slip dress vibe or even a touch of sportswear influence.
