Here’s everything you need to know from the final day of Paris Fashion Week
Cara Delevingne in the Miu Miu SS25 show
Miu Miu
For Miu Miu SS25 Miuccia Prada examined the brand’s cultural dialogues with groundbreaking women artists and filmmakers across the 13 years of the house’s “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” series. This was expressed on the runway through the inclusion of a diverse number of creatives, including Hilary Swank, Little Simz, Cara Delevingne and Alexa Chung. Miuccia also had her eye to the future too, with Nicole Kidman’s 16-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban making her runway debut. According to the show notes, the new collection also sought to examine “early youth as a period of absolute truth”. This was revealed through chemisette dresses in cotton pulled down and folded around the body and sweaters wrapped into tops and shirts twisted “wrong ways of wearing, to find something new.”
Chanel
On the final day of Paris Fashion Week CHANEL returned to the Grand Palais to showcase the house’s SS25 collection. Following the departure of creative director Virginie Viard in June, the new season was presented by the house’s Creation Studio. A giant bird cage took centre stage in the heart of the building’s nave, while in the show notes, the house said the collection was a tribute to “ women who freed themselves from the cumbersome gaze of society, just like Gabrielle Chanel.” On the runway there were chiffon capes, slit skirts, embroidered transparent shirt dresses, wide-cut and fluid trousers, sequinned and fringed jeans, trench coats with a multicoloured feather print brought together in a choreographic ode to delicacy, lightness and movement.
Louis Vuitton
In the Cour Carrée courtyard outside the Louvre in Paris, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière constructed a runway space inspired by the house’s beloved trunk to showcase the new LV SS25 collection. In the show which marked the close of Paris Fashion Week, the house revealed a collection of contrasts inspired by the oxymoronic nature of the phrase “soft power.” The result was a show which examined harmonious opposites, structure and lightness, ethereal opulence and razor-sharp delicacy.
