We’ve put together a round-up of our favourite Summer Capsule pieces for 2025.
Burberry
This season, embrace a quieter kind of glamour with fluid tailoring, weightless layers, and light fabrics made for long summer days.
Burberry
Burberry welcomes the heat with High Summer 2025 — a playful, sun-drenched capsule that blends British wit with effortless elegance. Designed by Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee, the collection is unveiled through a spirited short film and a series of global lifestyle activations that extend the brand’s signature codes into full summer mode.
The campaign film, Wish You Were Here, stars Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, British tennis player Jack Draper, models Alva Claire and Babacar N’Doye — and a few surreal extras, including a lone scuba diver. Shot on nostalgic 35mm, it captures lazy afternoons on yacht decks, melting ice lollies and sun-soaked lilos, evoking what Lee calls a “Burberry celluloid postcard – an arc of British idiosyncrasies and humour, with factor 50 on.”
The collection itself is relaxed but refined. Classic Burberry checks are reworked across swimwear, shirt dresses, and separates, while nautical details — think rope-knot logos and sailboat motifs — feature on silk shirts and shorts. Accessories lean into texture, with crochet-knit bags, jacquard weaves, espadrilles and slides that complete a wardrobe built for coastal escapes. “Burberry is a brand for all the seasons,” says Lee. “This is about capturing the joy of the British at play.”

Celine
The ÉTÉ CELINE 2025 collection is a refined immersion into the art of summer living, filtered through the lens of Hedi Slimane’s signature minimalism. Drawing inspiration from the timeless charm of Saint-Tropez and the natural elegance of the French Riviera, ÉTÉ CELINE strikes a balance between relaxed luxury and sharp urban style. It’s designed for the modern woman in motion — someone who moves seamlessly from the city to the coastline without compromising on polish or ease.
The ready-to-wear pieces offer a curated summer wardrobe: crisp linen tailoring, airy dresses that flirt with the breeze, and lightweight knits in a palette of neutrals punctuated by soft nautical blues. There’s a subtle sensuality woven through the collection — silhouettes that skim the body, necklines that dip just enough, and fabrics that feel as good as they look.
Accessories take centre stage, especially CELINE’s exquisite raffia bags — each crafted using artisanal techniques that celebrate texture and tactility. Whether paired with bare shoulders or oversized sunglasses, these bags channel understated glamour with a Côte d’Azur twist.
Etro
ETRO’s Summer 2025 capsule collection is a radiant ode to Mediterranean elegance, weaving together the spirit of travel, artisanal heritage, and sun-soaked vibrancy. Inspired by the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean, the collection bursts with colour, from warm spicy tones to cooling sea blues, and flourishes with the house’s signature prints — think majolica tile motifs, blooming gardens, and timeless Paisley patterns.
Lightness defines the women’s collection, with airy silhouettes cut from cotton poplin, silk twill, jacquard, and linen-cotton denim. Intricate details such as fil coupé embroidery and fringed trims enhance flowing dresses, floral separates, and breezy beachwear. The effect is both carefree and exquisitely refined.
For men, the collection spans laid-back and tailored essentials: swim trunks and printed shirts meet suede jackets and sharp blazers, all featuring bold arabesque motifs and tropical bird of paradise prints, extending to silk ties and pocket squares.
Adding a standout twist this season is ETRO’s collaboration with Italian artist Agostino Iacurci. Known for his expressive use of colour and nature-inspired forms, Iacurci lends his touch to special-edition pieces, including Arnica fabric bags, cotton totes, scarves, and graphic tees. The result is a joyful fusion of contemporary artistry and ETRO’s enduring textile tradition — a Mediterranean escape in wearable form.

Loewe
LOEWE’s Paula’s Ibiza 2025 collection captures summer not as a destination, but as a feeling — a radiant, carefree energy that pulses whether you’re in the city or by the sea. Drawing on the spirit of Paula’s, the legendary boutique that defined Balearic bohemia, the collection channels freedom, vitality, and the thrill of spontaneity.
Shot in Comporta, Portugal by Gray Sorrenti, the campaign features LOEWE ambassador GISELLE, actors Jamie Dornan, Sophie Wilde and Enzo Vogrincic. Framed by raw natural surroundings — windswept sand, driftwood fences, sun-bleached skies — they appear immersed in quiet moments of joy and ease. That same effortless spirit is woven into the collection’s aesthetic: fluid silhouettes, natural fabrics, handcrafted detailing and sun-faded palettes.
Women’s dresses and skirts are breezy and tactile, embellished with compass and feather motifs, while men’s denim arrives in patterned co-ords or soft pastel hues. Accessories are standout: the new Ola bag and crocheted Punch Hole Hobo blend traditional raffia craftsmanship with contemporary shapes, while whimsical charms shaped like tomatoes and flowers bring light-hearted detail.
With espadrilles reimagined, Grateful Dead prints, and bucket hats beaded or fringed with blooms, LOEWE Paula’s Ibiza is a joyous, elevated ode to summer’s most playful side, wherever you happen to be.

Elie Saab
Elie Saab’s Summer Escapade collection captures the carefree spirit of high-season travel with effortless glamour and a sense of breezy refinement. Designed for sun-drenched adventures and balmy evening strolls, the capsule blends sunset hues, fluid silhouettes, and elegant textures to create a wardrobe fit for every sun-kissed moment.
Available in stores now, the collection is defined by its versatility and mix-and-match sensibility. Chiffon and cotton flow freely in playful cuts and relaxed tailoring, while two standout prints — a bold palm frond and a painterly, Rothko-style stripe — bring visual energy to kaftans, belted playsuits and easy-going mini dresses.
Macramé trim and scalloped edges lend a carefree charm to daywear, from lemon-hued shorts sets to vibrant orange maxis. The timeless white dress is reimagined with eyelet embroidery and geometric ruffles, perfectly paired with raffia accessories like monogrammed clutches and bucket hats.
As the sun sets, the collection turns to soft glamour. Sparkling crochet co-ords shimmer under golden light, while feather-light knits and flowing palazzo trousers evoke a relaxed bohemian mood. Evening pieces are elevated with coral reef-inspired embroidery in pink and blue, and pearlescent paillettes that glisten like mermaid scales.
Rounding off the edit is a chic new swimwear offering — the brand’s first — featuring an elegant azure bikini and a plunging sienna one-piece. Summer Escapade is a radiant wardrobe of memories in the making, crafted for women who carry the glow of summer wherever they go.

Weekend Max Mara
Weekend Max Mara’s Spring/Summer 2025 Signature collection offers a refined wardrobe crafted for the ease and elegance of sun-drenched escapes. From city strolls to seaside lounging, the collection balances carefree sophistication with playful femininity, resulting in a versatile lineup made for the modern traveller.
Signature staples of the house are given a fresh update: think classic trench coats reimagined with brushstroke motifs, fluid shift dresses, flirty off-the-shoulder silhouettes, and cropped blouses paired with sleek pants. There’s a recurring mix-and-match energy that defines the collection — halter tops styled with swingy skirts, tank tops over voluminous midis — each combination designed to carry wearers from a late brunch in town to an evening by the sea.
Textiles take centre stage, with luxurious cottons, linens, and featherlight denim providing the perfect canvas for lively, summer-ready prints. Dainty florals, abstract graphics, and hazy checks inject visual interest without overpowering. The palette spans juicy sorbets, crisp pastels, rich pinks, and teals, evoking a spirited Mediterranean sensibility.
Accessories complete the collection’s charm: the iconic Pasticcino Bag is interpreted in printed canvas and woven raffia, adorned with signature boules. Strappy sandals, pearl-accented mesh flats, and statement jewellery add the final touch to this light-hearted yet elevated wardrobe — a celebration of style, movement, and mood.

Rabanne
Rabanne steps into the rhythm of Rio de Janeiro with Atlantic Allusions, a vibrant tribute to the city’s funk scene and its cultural heartbeat — the baile. Rooted in the twilight hours between night and day, the collection evokes the energy of after-hours dance floors, favela beauty rituals, and the unspoken poetry of everyday gestures.
Directed by Emmanuel Cossu and photographed by Rio-born artist Melissa de Oliveira, the campaign centres not on fantasy, but on the lived realities of the community — its heat, hustle, and humanity.
Rabanne’s creative nod extends beyond fashion to its founder’s legacy. In the 1980s, Paco Rabanne launched a funk and soul record label and opened Black Sugar, a Paris club dedicated to Afro-Caribbean music. He broke boundaries by casting Black models in a fashion system still catching up — and it’s that same ethos of radical inclusion that informs this new chapter.
The collection itself echoes Rio’s layered identity: metallics shimmer like sunrise over the sea, fabrics sway like sound waves, and silhouettes blur the line between party and power. It’s not just an aesthetic — it’s a deeply respectful homage to the communities who live and define this culture daily. With Atlantic Allusions, Rabanne amplifies their voice, inviting the world to dance to Rio’s beat.
