As co-creative directors of Prada, both Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have made no attempt to hide the fact they favor Willy Vanderperre as the brand’s campaign photographer. The Belgian lensman has remained a go-to of the creative twosome since as early as the Fall 2023 campaign installment, photographing a whole multitude of campaigns since – including the recent Holiday 2024 offering. As we enter a new year, Miuccia and Raf are evidently in the mood for change and commission Steven Meisel to shoot the Spring 2025 campaign. Meisel was last on the books at Prada for Holiday 2020. This time around, Meisel points his lens toward Carey Mulligan who poses solo in the Prada Spring 2025 campaign. Against a clean white studio backdrop, the British actress morphs into multiple different characters, sporting a variety of wigs and looks.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Love both names. Hate the outcome,” immediately confessed TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu.

“I was SO excited clicking the thread, and now I’m sat here… deflated. Tragic to have switched it up from Willy Vanderperre to Steven Meisel, only to serve up another bland and lifeless studio shoot with a sterile white backdrop. An absolute sin,” cried out vogue28.

“Those wigs are evil. Underwhelming all around, even the posies feel half-hearted,” critiqued forum member Melancholybaby.

“I guess Cindy Sherman wasn’t available/interested,” andrew noted.

Thefrenchy asked: “What’s the point of spending 1M+ on a campaign if it’s to come up with some bland imagery that is nowhere near interesting?”

“Way too pretentious,” critiqued thiago.

“Totally giving us nothing,” MDNA chimed in.

Saint Laurent S/S 2025 : Gwyneth Paltrow by David Sims
IMAGE | FACEBOOK/SAINTLAURENT

Anthony Vaccarello sure knows how to pick em’ when it comes to casting the advertising campaigns of Saint Laurent. Since joining the ranks as creative director of the fabled French fashion house in 2016, Vaccarello has successfully secured the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Kate Moss, Charlotte Rampling, Jerry Hall, and Diana Ross (to name a very select few) as the face and embodiment of the house founded by Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent in 1961. Next up as the face of Saint Laurent is Gwyneth Paltrow. Vaccarello taps the American actress and Goop founder for the Spring 2025 campaign offering, complete with photography from David Sims. Paltrow suits up in a sharp black tuxedo jacket in the campaign photo, gazing down Sims’ lens sporting slicked-back hair and a minimal makeup look.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I’m into it,” shared forum member lelaid upon checking out the campaign.

“I’m always a sucker for Gwyneth Paltrow, especially when she’s not in Brentwood mom mode. I like her for Saint Laurent,” approved KoV.

“I’m just appreciative that it’s not another black and white studio-shot campaign image from David Sims for Saint Laurent. Personally, I could take or leave Gwyneth Paltrow but I don’t hate this. Paltrow looks good, I like the slicked-back hair and the sharpness of the blazer,” vogue28 voiced.

Ihhbl commented: “Gwyneth Paltrow is looking so rich here. I’m almost able to ignore the weird fitting of the blazer!”

Not everyone, however, was so forgiving. “The lighting in this image of Gwyneth is terrible. I can’t believe David Sims shot it! And Gwyneth for YSL? Are they really that desperate now?” asked style_expert.

“A piece of rotten wood is sexier than Gwyneth Paltrow,” Alquimista critiqued.

Forum Members Review the Giorgio Armani Spring 2025 Collection
IMAGES | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

Giorgio Armani skipped Milan Fashion Week in September, in favor of showing his Spring 2025 collection in New York. Last night, everyone from Pamela Anderson to Brie Larson showed up for the legendary Italian designer at the historic Park Avenue Armory on the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. Armani’s reason for venturing stateside was to commemorate his recent 90th birthday, a brand new building on Madison Avenue, and his namesake brand’s upcoming 50th anniversary. The undisputed king of Italian fashion looked back to the city during the 30s and 40s as inspiration. Armani’s latest lineup boasted swingy all-over embroidered dresses, soft tailoring, and cute pups as accessories – all in a nude, muted, and monochromatic color palette. Sig. Giorgio Armani in his element to say the very least.

Giorgio Armani Spring 2025 Collection Review

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Lovely collection, lovely casting, lovely setting. It’s definitely along the lines of Armani, but this, along with his last two haute couture collections, feels much more modern than his usual formula.” [LadyJunon]

“Missed the presence of the Giorgio Armani label during Milan Fashion Week, and was very much looking forward to this. Mr. Armani, of course, did not disappoint. Another flawless collection from the absolute master of elegance, sophistication, and glamour. The color palette is sublime, the fabrics are exquisite, the whole collection is divine.” [vogue28]

“One thing about Armani models is they’ll always look Forbes 100 rich. The collection is muted and classic yet youthful at the same time. My favorite was the menswear at the end with the hint of shimmer on it. Would have loved to see Mayowa and Ayak among the cast who I feel epitomize the classic Armani woman.” [Urban Stylin]

“I’m not a fan of Armani ready-to-wear. The fabrics are fabulous and move beautifully but it is very dated. However, the bags and the colors were good. I wish he came to NYC with his Armani Privé collection. Because that’s where the spirit of Armani really shines!” [Lola701]

Celine S/S 2025 by Hedi Slimane
IMAGE | FACEBOOK/CELINE

You’re no doubt fully aware that Hedi Slimane has departed Celine as creative director (with Michael Rider already announced as his replacement). Slimane surprised the fashion world in late September by unveiling his Spring 2025 collection for the French fashion house founded in 1945, amidst the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week while notorious for showing off-schedule. The collection and accompanying advertising campaign was ultimately the French designer’s last as Celine creative director. Slimane, who joined Celine in 2018, ventured one hour outside Paris to the commune of Compiègne for one portion of the Spring 2025 campaign. Models Ana Clara, Senna Vet, Polina Levin, Evelyn Nagy, Dana Smith, and Fatihat Afolabi roam the historic Château de Compiègne. The second half of the campaign sees Lila Moss join the girls, captured in crisp black and white.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“J’adore! One of Slimane’s best campaigns ever! It’s just amazing,” exclaimed Creative.

“Wonderful photography, as always. Particularly love the studio images as they look different and fresh,” chimed in an equally as impressed MModa.

“Hedi said, ‘I’m leaving, so I’m going to shoot the hell outta this campaign’,” voiced jeremydante.

Sharing the same attitude toward the campaign was vogue28. “Slimane undoubtedly went out on a high with this campaign. Flawless from start to finish. Fresh, modern, elegant, and refined. It’s perfection, love the casting, the location, the styling, and mixture of color and black and white photography,” he applauded.

That’s a complete wrap on Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025, with Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant of Coperni taking the fashion pack to Disneyland Paris to “magically” round out the fashion festivities. Since September 23, a total of 66 physical runway shows and 40 presentations have taken place within the City of the Light over the past week, making the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025 season a one for the books.

Report: Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025

Mid-afternoon on Friday September 27, with a wildly star-studded cast including Gigi Hadid, Hedi Klum, Marcia Cross and Anok Yai (as the bride), Guram Gvasalia staged his latest Vetements collection, inspired by the Paris underground. Against a romantic and candle-lit backdrop of the Château de Bagatelle, Victoria Beckham presented her Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025 offering of sculptural breast plates, mixed print dresses, and cut-out tailoring.

Andreas Kronthaler brought punk to Paris for his Vivienne Westwood showcase while Nadège Vanhee-Cybulsk served up chocolate leathers that looked like butter at Hermès (and not even a PETA protester could distract from superb craftsmanship). Come nightfall on Saturday September 28, it was time to bare witness to the sophomore collection of Seán McGirr as McQueen creative director. Inside Paris’ École des Beaux-Arts, the Irish designer paid homage to the Alexander McQueen Fall 1994 collection, razor-sharp tailored suiting and Celtic influences.

Come Sunday, all eyes were on Alessandro Michele as he staged his debut runway show as Valentino creative director. Models paraded Michele’s designs of sumptuous fabrics, cascading ruffles, sequins, and bow detailing around a draped set and walked on a floor of broken mirrors. Closing out the weekend, Isabel Marant confirmed that the western trend is set to regain its momentum for Spring 2025, with a collection boasting fringe jackets, studded bags, and suede pieces.

Monday commenced with an open-air show from Stella McCartney at Paris Fashion Week. Oversized bags, suits, round form plush jackets in pastel colors, and splashes of red were consistent throughout McCartney’s lineup. Gabriela Hearst ditched New York for Paris this season, showcasing her creations on the Left Bank. Eclectic knits, sheer sheaths, and crinkled gold separates took the runway, next to sophisticated tailoring and some Western influence. To a remix of Gimmie More by Britney Spears, models at Balenciaga walked out onto an elevated catwalk, inspired by a dining table. Balenciaga creative director Demna, experimented with hoodies and denim, transforming jeans into gaiters and showing oversized sweatshirts with slogans that read “Fashion Designer”.

On the final day of Paris Fashion Week, Chanel (still without a creative director) ventured back to the Grand Palais. The Chanel Fashion Creation Studio team, gave us charming 1920s-style collars and classic tweeds that honored the brand’s rich heritage, while ostrich feather trim and delicate sheer looks floated past guests towards the end of the show. The finale was topped off with a live performance from Riley Keough, who gave attendees a rendition of Prince’s When Doves Cry, sat perched on a swing inside a vast white birdcage. At Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada doubled down on the no-pants look for another season. Nicolas Ghesquière honored the rich Louis Vuitton heritage with a runway inspired by the French fashion house’s signature trunks. Ghesquière’s lineup featured open peplum shirts, flowing silk dresses, oversized shoulder pads, and patterns by artist Laurent Grasso.

All the Hits & Misses From Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025

HIT | Louis Vuitton

Here's Part Two of the Hits & (Surprising) Misses of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025
IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“Go off and show off, Nicolas! Let the girls know you can challenge taste without it being ugly. It looked expensive, it didn’t look tortured. Bravo!” [reese06]

“I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT. The soundtrack, the trunks as a runway. I loved the footwear, the bags, and the accessories. Ghesquiere is hitting his stride, I am so excited. I loved this collection, and I usually feel a way about what he’s been doing but I love, love, loved all of it.” [jeremydante]

“Great and surprising collection from Nicolas! Despite the layering in the styling, the amount of flow made it so enjoyable. Seeing those fabrics floating as the girls walked was fabulous!” [Lola701]

MISS | Chanel

“Oh how the mighty have fallen…” [Frederic01]

“The set alone is a perfect display of the brand without a creative director: EMPTY! At this point, just give the CD position to anyone with a name because this cannot work for another season. Will it sell? Of course, it will, but it’s not sustainable.” [Salvatore]

“They are desperately in need of new creative director.” [Olaffo]

MISS | Miu Miu

Here's Part Two of the Hits & (Surprising) Misses of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025
IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“My biggest fear happened: Miu Miu has become ‘The Lotta Volkova Show’. Is Miuccia even involved in the creative process anymore? It just looks like Lotta went to the archives, pulled a lot of stuff, styled the whole thing with some logo merch, and job done.” [Lola701]

“Styling is 50% of the brand now, and I just find it stupid. Just stupid.” [yslforever]

“I’m really annoyed by all the gimmicks – celebrities, styling, film. The clothes have nothing to say, honestly (and we can say the same about Miuccia).” [thiago]

See all the looks from the Miu Miu Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | McQueen

Here's Part Two of the Hits & (Surprising) Misses of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025
IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“1000x better than Seán McGirr’s debut.” [justpassingthrough]

“This is light years away from that heinous debut. It’s unexpectedly good. It’s not on Lee’s (or even Burton’s) level, but it’s was a good collection and a good show. He should’ve dumped the heavy platforms in favour of sleek stilettos and “floating” heels, but one thing at a time.” [LadyJunon]

“For me this show was a massive improvement from his debut, massive. We can all agree that we will never get McQueen in the dark version of yore, that’s a thing of the past. But I thought that McGirr this time got his s**t together and delivered a much more focused and commercially appealing collection.” [bc collector]

MISS | Valentino

Here's Part Two of the Hits & (Surprising) Misses of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025
IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“It feels very déjà-vu and I blame the excessive styling. I believe without the amount of lace gloves, piercings, and better casting, it would’ve felt less Michele and more Garavani.” [thiago]

“Michele almost fooled me with that first look. The most anticipated show of the season and the most flop one. He confirmed he is a one-trick pony and has the most one-dimensional vision ever.” [FashionPower]

“No evolution. Gucci 2.0.” [Grets]

See all the looks from the Valentino Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Balenciaga

Here's Part Two of the Hits & (Surprising) Misses of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025
IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“Same shtick, different season. The sooner Balenciaga and Demna part ways the better. Absolutely cannot wait to move on from this monstrosity of a direction. This whole streetwear aesthetic for Balenciaga feels beyond tired, dated, and overplayed in 2024.” [vogue28]

“Why do we exist in a world where this vision of Balenciaga is tolerated…especially by luxury consumers?” [GERGIN]

“So pedestrian and basic. Remember when Balenciaga was synonymous with chic, fashion-forward clothes?” [tourbillions]

See all the looks from the Balenciaga Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

Here's Part Two of the Hits & (Surprising) Misses of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025
IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“Truly stunning. Seriously can’t stop looking at this collection. This is how you do real punk, kids, unlike any Hedi Slimane or Marc Jacobs take on it. I feel it like a contemporary, more sculptural Vivienne Westwood.” [philophile]

“I can’t imagine the Paris fashion week without Yohji and the lovely Hôtel De Ville. Hands down one of the best collections this season!” [Kanzai]

“Truly gorgeous. The master can do no wrong even if it’s just a little expansion of his usual vocabulary. In the sea of pretentious fashion, Yohji remains true to himself. A feast to be savored!” [dancv]

“Rei Kawakubo should be careful at this point not to ruin her amazing legacy. This is tragic.” [90sfan]

“A collection of clown costumes by a once great designer.” [avonlea002]

“She’s been doing these ugly sacks/blobs for 10 years or more. It’s not gonna happen, Rei.” [Alquimista]

“Not sure what happened here. I loved Louise Trotter’s first two collections for Carven. Everything here just looks off.” [tatouejeremie]

“I only see complacency here. Paris has been a disappointment. Nobody is trying anything new.” [Alquimista]

“I love what she’s done with Carven, but this collection feels a bit too complicated. Some of the silhouettes are too sloppy. It would have been a lot better if she showed more knitwear, some structured pieces.” [Kennnnn]

HIT | Isabel Marant

“It might be her best collection!” [prylvi]

“Isabel Marant really has a POV and makes the girls look great. Why can’t Pucci or Cavalli make shapes like that? So simple and easy.” [TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

“Easy clothes for women to wear. I’ll take this over a lot of other collections this season.” [donyan]

See all the looks from the Isabel Marant Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Sacai

“It’s very Bouchra Jarrar, which makes me love it!! [IsabelMarantBoy]

“It’s really quite a captivating collection. Love the way some of the fabrics sit on the models, almost like armor.” [GoldenPetals]

“Love almost everything here! It’s hard for me to translate Sacai sometimes beyond the deconstructions, but this time they nailed it for me.” [Ihhbl]

See all the looks from the Sacai Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Akris

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“Finally a tasteful and elegant collection is such a boring and underwhelming season. I usually like Albert Kriemler’s work and he remains underrated. One of the only collections to get frills right and the orange section is quite sublime as well.” [Fiercification]

“I like this. So sleek and easy on the eyes. There’s just something that seems so pure about this.” [Cocteau Stone]

“I like this so much! A relief to see this. A nice breeze through this collection – just the right timbre with pleasant moments. It’s so light. Bravo.” [TerraVera]

See all the looks from the Akris Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Duran Lantink

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“This is flat as a pancake. What’s the content? Feels like a New York brand trying its hand at being avant-garde.” [Norden]

“It was interesting for a milli-second…” [90sfan]

“I want to know who is backing this brand? All the campaigns, shows every season, that kind of casting and all that press meanwhile you have 4-5 pieces on a rack in Dover Street which doesn’t seem to sell.” [NoInvite]

MISS | Stella McCartney

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“This is so messy.” [youthinasia]

“It’s a bit all over the place indeed. I can’t see any cohesion in this collection. Oversized suits, chiffon dresses, leather dresses, t dresses, ripped pants/tops/dresses, lace, wool balloon tops, sequin, pearls. cut-ouPhew, that’s a lot to take.” [Valentine27]

“It’s like the Ann Taylor and Hervé Léger shows got mixed together.” [Irere]

See all the looks from the Stella McCartney Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Gabriela Hearst

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“She should stay in NYFW where this collection belongs.” [JohannesL]

“”As a Uruguayan designer, Gabriela Hearst would have the ideal opportunity to put the traditional fabrics of her country and Latin America on the international map, but this set of things is a mix of meaningless things that, instead of making you raise an eyebrow, invites you to close both eyes.” [IndigoHomme]

See all the looks from the Gabriela Hearst Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“Sad to say… I just don’t feel Vivienne anymore.” [bennyboy]

“Where’s the ‘punk’? How can you be anti-mainstream, when you create something so easily digestible? With a brand like VW I don’t even care if it’s try-hard or edgy or obnoxious, because that’s the entire point!” [Machinegumm]

“It was cleaner, more commercial. It lacked that defiant punk energy that Vivienne did so well.
Even the runway soundtrack was odd, it wasn’t Vivienne Westwood at all.” [jeremydante]

See all the looks from the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Hermès

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“Hermès womenswear is one of a kind! Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski is doing an exceptional job! Great collection. Love the see-through knit. Stunning. Nobody does timeless luxury like them.” [imjustken]

“I really enjoyed the show! Loved the set and also the dynamic walks. I find the collection very appealing.” [Valentine27]

“This is absolutely sufficient for Hermès. It’s the quiet conservative high-quality luxury that its clientele is looking for. Hermès is the LAST fashion house that needs to be ‘fashion-forward’. The brand is already so mature and so well SET, it already has a reliable surefire formula – both commercially and creatively.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Hermès Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Vetements

“Dreadful.” [GoldenPetals]

“I couldn’t care less about the clothes. Pure trash.” [thiago]

“Wants to be Balenciaga, it ends being Philipp Plein.” [carla56]

See all the looks from the Vetements Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Victoria Beckham

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT/LAUNCHMETRICS

“She’s desperately trying to be someone she clearly isn’t.” [helmutnotdead]

“Why is Victoria Beckham always trying so hard to be someone she isn’t? She should do a sexier, more glamorous take on minimalism and stop with the artsy nonsense.” [avonlea002]

“She could donate the money to the poor, instead of doing poor fashion every season.” [90sfan]

See all the looks from the Victoria Beckham Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Junya Watanabe

“I love this! Saw the first look and knew this was going to be a hit. Junya rarely disappoints.” [Machinegumm]

“The amount of ideas here is on a whole other level, very impressive.” [tatouejeremie]

“Absolute gold! zeroWhat a relief after the barrage-effortfort collections from all the other brands!” [amak]

MISS | Ann Demeulemeester

“Another brand that makes no sense without its founder.” [avonlea002]

“Ann D mixed with ‘dumpster diving homeless people’. Stefano Gallici better correct course for next season, because this is NOT the direction this brand should go.” [Machinegumm]

“Ann was never ratty. Bohemian, yes, in the likes of Baudelaire perhaps but not ratty.” [Not Plain Jane]

HIT | Ludovic de Saint Sernin

“His work is starting to grow on me. It’s well constructed, which isn’t something most of his peers can say.” [LadyJunon]

“Not even going to lie and probably will be put into tFS timeout, but … I am into it!” [Savatore]

If you thought the first portion of Paris Fashion Week was something to behold for the Spring 2025 season, the second half of the 9-day event granted us just as many fantastical fashion moments. McQueen’s Seán McGirr staged his sophomore collection as creative director, presenting razor-sharp tailored suiting and references to the Alexander McQueen Fall 1994 collection. Alessandro Michele made his long-awaited debut as Valentino creative director, staging his first runway at the helm of the luxury Italian fashion house. Sumptuous fabrics, cascading ruffles, sequins, and bow detailing were on full display, as models walked across a runway of broken glass. Chanel staged its first prêt-à-porter show without an official creative director while Nicolas Ghesquière‘s Louis Vuitton showcase paid homage to the rich heritage of the French fashion house.

See, we told you the second half of PFW would save the best moments for last. Scroll further for part two of theFashionSpot’s highlights from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025:

Following a whole two years of preparation, Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant staged the Coperni Spring 2025 collection at Disneyland Paris – bringing Paris Fashion Week to a magical and show-stopping end. Flashes of fireworks, light shows, music, and fountains added to the magical setting, as models emerged from Sleeping Beauty’s castle. The collection was inspired by princesses and villains, with Myer and Vaillant creating a Maleficent-inspired voluminous ball gown for none other than Kylie Jenner to close out the show.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Their shows have been so hyped and are always so… whelming? IDK.” [thenewclassic]

“How do you say ‘Stunt Queens’ in French?” [Jacque Marcel]

“So Kylie Jenner was obviously just there to make the show go viral…” [nationalsalt]

“Disneyland or not … if I had to wait until 23h00, which is past my bedtime, just to see this show and collection, I’d be hot and upset! The setting swallowed the collection.” [Salvatore]

“Trying hard. What is the point of doing a show in Disneyland Paris if the end runway photos are this? Just that alone you know how shallow they are and how limited their direction is.” [tourbillions]

“I would be pissed if I had to go out of my way to the suburbs after hours for a show look like this? It’s not even a mess. Literally nothing. No style, no substance, no direction.” [TaylorBinque]

“The only thing people will remember is the location.” [Valentine27]

“It’s never about the clothes with them. Never! A very expensive and loud non-event.” [Lola701]

You’re undoubtedly aware that Hedi Slimane uses his model muses as the essence and embodiment of his various Celine collections. Campaigns over recent seasons have featured the likes of Lulu Tenney (on more than one occasion), Esther-Rose McGregor, Kaia Gerber, and Tess Breeden. Slimane reunites with Rianne van Rompaey with the unveiling of the Celine Spring 2025 campaign series, essentially highlighting the Kering-owned French fashion house’s Resort 2025 collection. The Dutch beauty is having quite the Fall 2024 campaign season, and is currently the face of mega brands Louis Vuitton, Chloé, and Isabel Marant (to name only a select few). In true Hedi Slimane fashion, the French designer puts Rianne before a classic grey backdrop within a timeless studio setting. No props, no gimmicks.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Rianne van Rompaey is an excellent model but sometimes the industry is lazy with its casting. They keep gravitating towards the same 10 models,” critiqued Urban Stylin.

Fashionlov agreed. “I think I’ve seen too many Rianne van Rompaey campaigns. Good model (not my favorite honestly) but someone should understand that having the same model in several campaigns doesn’t work,” they chimed in.

“Maybe it is just that one shot, but the color photograph has a lookbook vibe. I love the black and white shots. Great to see Rianne van Rompaey again,” enthused MModa.

“2024 has taught me that I am a Hedi Slimane fan, and have come to adore his Celine campaigns. They’re always so sharp, immaculate, and crisp. Throw in Rianne van Rompaey and I am 110% smitten,” voiced vogue28.

Not everyone, however, was sold on Slimane’s latest. “Slap the H&M logo and the prices on these, and I would believe it’s real,” shared an underwhelmed phungnam96.

“Mango,” pointed out Thefrenchy, echoing the same sentiments.

This afternoon in Paris, Nicolas Ghesquière of Louis Vuitton closed out the official Paris Fashion Week schedule in spectacular style. The French-Belgian fashion designer who signed on the dotted line as creative director in 2013 and renewed his contract last year, presented his Louis Vuitton Spring 2025 collection at the iconic Cour Carrèe du Louvre. Guests (including everyone from Zendaya to Ana de Armas) were ushered inside a giant reflective tent, and greeted by a vast trunk-inspired runway, honoring the rich heritage of Vuitton. Ghesquière’s lineup was ultimately inspired by the idea of contrast. Outfits featured patterns by artist Laurent Grasso while a soundtrack taken from Jamie XX’s new album blasted through the speakers.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2025 Collection Review

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“His tweed is superior to Chanel. The collection to me is very much inspired by Karl: this necklaces, bag in the shape of fan, tweed, color combination. Very Spring 2011 Chanel.” [Olaffo]

“So it wasn’t just me seeing Chanel all over it. I absolutely love it! Give him Chanel! I don’t care, wertheimers, you’re filthy rich. Take this man off of LVMH. The runway was everything too.” [Alquimista]

“Such a chic collection – bravo to Nicolas. And I think he knew it this time, that’s why the runway presentation was focused on the models and not the audience.” [Overindulgence]

I’m still processing it but I have the feeling that I SAW FASHION. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s fashion. Finally someone ambitious showing how it’s done.” [helmutnotdead]

“Go off and show off, Nicolas! Let the girls know you can challenge taste without it being ugly. It looked expensive, it didn’t look tortured. Bravo!” [reese06]

“I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT. The soundtrack, the trunks as a runway. I loved the footwear, the bags, and the accessories. Ghesquiere is hitting his stride, I am so excited. I loved this collection, and I usually feel a way about what he’s been doing but I love, love, loved all of it.” [jeremydante]

“Great and surprising collection from Nicolas! Despite the layering in the styling, the amount of flow made it so enjoyable. Seeing those fabrics floating as the girls walked was fabulous!” [Lola701]

“Beautiful propositions and really beautiful execution.” [j02215]

Today marks the final day of Paris Fashion Week, and filling up this afternoon’s time slot on the schedule was the Miu Miu Spring 2025 collection. The fashion pack descended upon Miuccia Prada’s usual chosen show venue the Palais d’Iéna, with the likes of Addison Rae, Camila Cabello, and Daisy Ridley filling up the front row. The catwalk was just as star-studded, with Mrs. Prada casting Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban (the 16-year-old daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban), Hilary Swank, Alexa Chung, and Willem Dafoe strutting their stuff. The collection examines the brand’s “cultural dialogues with groundbreaking women artists and filmmakers across 13 years,” according to the show notes. Miuccia doubled down on the no-pants look for another season, adding layers, swimsuits with geometric cutouts, leg warmers, and injecting an archival print into the mix.

Miu Miu Spring 2025 Collection Review

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Lotta Volkova’s styling project again. Miuccia is ruining her legacy. What is the theme here? Where is this seasonal signature? At least the cropped top collection and the office lady collection had a concept; this is just a meaningless parade of clothes with stupid styling.” [TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

“My biggest fear happened: Miu Miu has become ‘The Lotta Show’. Is Miuccia even involved in the creative process anymore? It just looks like Lotta went to the archives, pulled a lot of stuff, styled the whole thing with some logo merch, and job done.” [Lola701]

“Styling is 50% of the brand now, and I just find it stupid. Just stupid.” [yslforever]

“I’m really annoyed by all the gimmicks – celebrities, styling, film. The clothes have nothing to say, honestly (and we can say the same about Miuccia).” [thiago]

“I enjoyed it, the bathing suit looks layered in to the skirts intrigued me.” [GERGIN]

“This season was not it for me.” [Ihhbl]
