Fashion fever never seems to end and regardless of which part of the world you are in there is something magical about knowing what to look forward to for spring 2025!
We take a look at five of our favorites and trending designers as they present their collections this season as well we notice a theme emerging; a feeling and message that is here to stay.
Louis Vuitton
In no particular order; we begin with Louis Vuitton.
This season, Nicolas Ghesquière’s collection commanded attention, particularly with his emphasis on “soft power.” In other words, “contrast” aptly describes his work. By prioritizing light fabrics, he achieved a perfect balance of structure and fluidity. Drawing inspiration from the Renaissance, his designs featured puffy sleeves, peplum blouses, and robe-like coats, all while staying true to his signature Louis Vuitton aesthetic.
Chanel
Chanel may currently lack a designer, but their spring collection exudes a sense of freedom. The pieces feel light and effortless, yet strong, embodying a fusion of the Roaring Twenties and the modern woman of 2024. Throughout the collection, aviator jackets with Peter Pan collars, feather trims, and airy fabrics like organza and layered knits are prominently featured.
"The collection is a tribute to women who freed themselves from the cumbersome gaze of society, just like Gabrielle Chanel," the brand said. "This flight is dedicated to them."
Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen is a master of evolution, inspiring us to embrace the art of brand transformation. True to form, McQueen presented a signature gothic collection that seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary design. Seán McGirr centered the narrative around a banshee, a female spirit from Gaelic folklore whose wailing foretells death within a family. Drawing from his Irish roots, McGirr infused the collection with feathers, lightweight fabrics, and tailored mohair. This show was more than just a fashion presentation; it was a compelling story, inviting us to root for all the banshees out there.

Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham redefined the act of dressing for SS25—not just the "art" of it. This collection emphasized a crucial aspect of wearing clothes: our relationship with our bodies. It reflects the designer’s exploration of the nuances of dressing and undressing as a woman, highlighting the often-overlooked intimacy involved.
Playing with the illusion of nudity, the collection featured draped dresses, underwear as outerwear, slashed tailoring (including “hacked” trousers), sliced hemlines, and open waistbands. This departure from her usual style was refreshingly different and was met with enthusiasm and appreciation.
Chloé
Last but not least, let’s highlight Chloé’s “Freedom Collection.” This collection celebrates femininity with its delicate cuts, lace, sheer fabrics, and tapered pants, reminding us that romance is a way of life that can offer unexpected rewards. Being a girly girl in this era of women's empowerment doesn’t mean we can’t embody softness and strength, even if it feels like our generation has forgotten this balance. Chloé’s show serves as a beautiful reminder of that truth. Staying true to the boho aesthetic, the collection exudes sensuality, lightness, and joy—almost as if the weight of the world has been lifted from our shoulders.
