Paris Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2025: The Highlights

It's Paris Fashion Week! The Marie Claire fashion team is on the ground, bringing you all the stand-out moments from the Autumn/Winter 2025 catwalks, as well as a preview of next season's trends. Take a look at some of our highlights below, and stay tuned for more to come.

Rokh

For its Autumn/Winter 2025 show, Rokh took guests to a crumbling French maison. The collection explores the interplay between construction and deconstruction — reflecting the setting perfectly. Sharp tailoring for both women and men was shown alongside voluminous, embellished and sculptural shapes. Zips, belts, clips and buttons featured throughout, enabling wearers to style the garments in different ways.

Roger Vivier

Roger Vivier hosted a chic presentation for Autumn/Winter 2025, with guests including Olivia Colman, Gwendoline Christie and Lou Doillon. Entitled 'La Rose Vivier', the collection was inspired by the timeless elegance and duality of the rose. A powerful emblem of femininity, beauty, and natural artistry, the bloom embodies the essence of the Roger Vivier woman — and has graced the house designs since the 1940s.

Balenciaga

Demna Gvasalia presented a mash-up of office, sport and club wear at Balenciaga's Autumn/Winter 2025 show on Sunday night. Set in an all-black, maze-like venue, models walked a winding path with clothes in a similarly dark colour palette. It was a slightly more pared back show and collection that what we have come to expect from his usual showmanship, but the Demna design-codes were still very much present — oversized sunglasses, shrunken silhouettes and ironic slogans.

Lacoste

Staged at the the Philippe Chatrier court at the Roland-Garros stadium, Lacoste's show on Sunday morning paid homage to the brand's founder René Lacoste and his life off the court as an entrepreneur, innovator and socialite. Sportswear and performance fabrics were mixed with more formal and playful ensembles — including a silver tinsel-style cardigan and skirt and polo co-ord towards the end of the collection.

Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood

On Saturday, Andreas Kronthaler presented his Autumn/Winter 2025 collection for the Vivienne Westwood label. Tailoring, Harris Tweed fabrics and, more unexpectedly, ski-wear all featured on the runway, with the likes of Chappell Roan, Ice Spice and Pink Pantheress all sat in the front row.

Isabel Marant

Isabel Marant was the last show to present on schedule on Thursday night. With Kate Moss making a statement entrance in a head-to-toe black ensemble of a leather jacket, mini lace shorts and studded boots, she set the tone for the effortless cool-girl vibes of the show. Fishnets, lace, plaid, pinstripes and polka dots featured throughout the collection in a mish-mash, creating a punky, free-spirited aesthetic.

Rick Owens

Rick Owens' show is always a highlight of Paris Fashion Week, and this season Chappell Roan made a surprise appearance, in a floor-length silver gown and alien-like make-up. His signature dark aesthetic was out in full force, with high Dracula style collars and long flowing skirts. There was also an emphasis on white this season, with sculptural tops and sequinned gowns.

Hodakova

Swedish designer Ellen Hodakova Larsson won the prestigious LVMH Prize last year, and has a roster of celebrity fans including Dua Lipa, Cate Blanchett and Lady Gaga. Her upcycled designs feature unusual objects like belts, spoons and this season, instruments such as cellos, violins and drums. Strings from the latter also featured on tops and dresses, styled with bed-head hair and heavily kohl-lined eyes.

Rabanne

Creative director Julien Dossena made a conscious effort to move away from Rabanne's signature chainmail this season. It was replaced by plenty of faux-fur, floral prints and transparent plastic overcoats, for a medley of layers and fabrics. There was still a hint of sparkle however, with flashes of silver on skirts and dresses.

Off-White

This was creative director Ib Kamara's third season helming Off-White. The cast resembled futuristic warriors, with sculpted jersey dresses and co-ords layered with heavy protective outerwear, sharp berets and wrap-around sunglasses. Burna Boy closed the show in an all-black leather look of a long-line aviator jacket, zip-through shorts and chunky combat boots.

Tom Ford

Probably the most anticipated show of Paris Fashion Week this season was Tom Ford, where Haider Ackermann made his debut as creative director. With the founder himself watching from the front row, the pressure was certainly on to deliver. Starting with plenty of black leather, Ackermann channelled Ford's signature sexy brand but in a way that didn't feel too self referential or dated. He played with tailoring, bold colour and evening glamour, for an extremely promising and exciting debut that left fashion fans lusting for more.

Acne Studios

Creative director Jonny Johansson looked to Björk’s song 'Human Behaviour' for inspiration for Acne Studios' Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. Not only did it act as the show's soundtrack, but the music video features fairytale-like bears — meaning plenty of fur showed up throughout. Chunky boots, fuzzy mohair bodysuits and oversized fluffy coats featured on the runway, alongside Fair Isle knits and playful feminine tops and dresses.

Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney took guests back to the office for Autumn/Winter 2025 — as in, way back. With padded shoulders, sharp suits and slick overcoats, as well as draped mini dresses, the collection was 1980s power dressing at its finest. Actors cosplaying as office workers frantically rushed about the corporate show space, armed with paperwork and fictional deadlines — guest Olivia Colman even signed a blank contract. McCartney's show sent the message loud and clear; the office siren look is going nowhere for next season.

Cecilie Bahnsen

Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen continued to mix her signature feminine style with sportswear tech for Autumn/Winter 2025. Partnerships with Asics and The North Face were deepened, with trainers, puffers and backpacks featuring throughout the collection. There was a tight colour palette of candy pink, chocolate brown, slate grey, midnight black and soft white, which kept everything cohesive and capsule wardrobe ready.

Dries Van Noten

After the man himself stepped down from the label he founded 30 years ago last March, Dries Van Noten has a new creative director. Julian Klausner has worked alongside Dries Van Noten since 2018, and was appointed to the top job last December. His debut in Paris this afternoon took place at the historic Opéra Garnier, which influenced the Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. Texture, colour, embellishment, fabrics, drama — this was a show that had it all. The DNA of the label was present, but it also managed to feel future-facing and exciting.

Ganni

This was Danish label Ganni's second season showing in Paris, after shifting from Copenhagen Fashion Week. To further cement its status in the French capital, the Autumn/Winter 2025 show was held at Hotel Pozzo di Borgo, previously where Karl Lagerfeld called home, and inspiration was taken from the rich interiors. The Ganni style codes were still present — animal print, denim, oversized silhouettes — but the designs felt more grown-up and considered with longer hemlines and luxe layering.

Undercover

Tracksuits got a glam update at Undercover's Autumn/Winter 2025 show, courtesy of a partnership with Champion. Primary colour sweatpants and track tops were styled with floral kitten heels and spiked crowns, for the ultimate high-meets-low look. Japanese designer Jun Takahashi, founder of the label, marked 35 years in fashion this season. He decided to return to his Autumn/Winter 2004 collection for inspiration, which referenced French artist Anne-Valérie Dupond and singer Patti Smith.

Vaquera

New York based label Vaquera switched to showing in Paris three years ago — this season, founders Bryn Taubensee and Patric DiCaprio announced that they would also be moving to Paris themselves. The Autumn/Winter 2025 collection was infused with the edgy, tongue-in-cheek designs that the duo have become known for. Oversized pearl necklaces, belt buckles and bras (which served as tops and skirts) featured throughout, and were accented by washed-out leather pieces.
