Style Predictions for SS25
Major cities like New York, London, Shanghai and others have concluded their annual fashion weeks to show off their style. During the past few months, these runway shows showcased designers’ visions for spring and summer 2025. Clearly, the luxury fashion industry is always a season ahead. While the fashion weeks concluded, industry enthusiasts flocked to social media to hear style analysis and trend predictions. The SS25 shows left the world wondering what direction upcoming seasonal trends will go in.
Running Free
During Paris Fashion Week, Chemena Kamali completed her second show at Chloé. While dresses and tops flowed with floral patterns, that wasn’t the key focus of the collection. Chemena Kamali is not a believer of the “boho” aesthetic curated in the early 2010’s. However, she created this collection with the free spirit of the 70’s in mind.
Everything from the fabrics, the pastels, to the jeans was designed for carefree movement. In the spring, trends from this show like the lace pants and loose blouses will appear. Consumers can expect to see garments that flow with the same ease as Chloé SS25.
Structure and Poise
In contrast, the fashion industry also loves to see definition and structure. For instance, Max Mara concluded its ss25 show in Milan. Though darker, and arguably more intense, these looks will also appear in spring and summer trends. Currently, businesswear is undergoing a transformation. Consumers are dressing up for work, making their outfits more accessorized and modern. This show modified and upgraded conventional office pieces like pencil skirts and tailored jackets.
Max Mara ss25 will impact consumer trends far into next fall. These office-chic pieces transcend spring and summer workplaces. As with other runway shows, items like the cropped blouse and high-rise mini shorts will continue being popular. Max Mara simply used the public’s current obsession with workwear to its advantage. Therefore, collections from other brands will show this effect in their upcoming spring and summer collections.
Dance of Design
The Italian label Ferragamo unveiled its SS25 show in Milan. In contrast with the other designers, the show included pieces similar to a ballerina’s wardrobe. Ferragamo revamped and modified ballet athleisurewear for the runway. In doing so, it set an example for other brands to follow. The luxury house put emphasis on the movement of the pieces, along with how each garment stuck to the models like a second skin. For the upcoming spring and summer months, modified athletic wear will appear. These pieces put value in fabric and design, allowing the consumer to move freely.
The mix of designer visions from these shows created the standards for consumer brands to follow. Ultimately, the ss25 runway shows offered a glimpse into the trends that style predictions are describing.
