Fendi

The SS25 Fendi collection showcased exquisite, handmade embroidery, bringing intricate detail to simple yet refined pieces like silk and organza tees and slips. Cozy robe shapes were crafted from soft suede and shearling, while t-shirts featured fine suede with crocodile textures. Flowing silk tea dresses and dancer-inspired slips struck a perfect balance between ordinary and extraordinary, often grounded by sturdy boots created in collaboration with Red Wing.
Accessories stood out with Renaissance-inspired embroidered bags that felt like wearable art, merging historical elegance with modern fashion. Fendi’s signature charm was evident in whimsical miniature bags, including designs like honey pots, floral bouquets with fur accents, and furry exotic fruit charms. Mini bags designed to hold perfumes added a playful, nostalgic element to the collection, encapsulating Fendi’s flair for blending sophistication with lighthearted creativity.

Alberta Ferretti’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection embraced her signature romantic bohemian style, with chiffon dresses exuding ethereal elegance and capturing the essence of femininity.
The collection seamlessly blended beauty with functionality. Ferretti introduced white and striped office-ready ensembles, playful brunch outfits, and elegant staples—all elevated with feminine touches like portrait necklines and peekaboo shoulders. A standout piece was a bright orange cotton strapless dress with vertical pin-tucks, adding a pop of color to the lineup.
The highlight of the collection was Ferretti’s flowing chiffon dresses. These ranged from angelic white halter gowns to bold black pieces with dramatic, cape-like wings. She incorporated intricate petal and leaf motifs using laser-cut techniques, avoiding heavy embellishments like sequins.

Antonio Marras

Antonio Marras’s collection is a stunning blend of Hollywood glamour and Sardinian charm, filled with bold designs and creative details. For men, the looks included khaki suits inspired by the South Pacific, decorated with orchid prints and pearl patches, playful short-and-shirt sets with animal motifs and nostalgic Sardinian postcard shirts. Tropical prints with rolling surf imagery and red motorcycles added a lively touch. The women’s collection was equally striking, with 1950s-inspired cinched-waist swing dresses, multicolored fringe gowns, and fun rattan parasol hats. The textures and colors stood out, from soft rainbow tones and shaggy fringe feathers to rich leathers and clever stocking socks featuring the designer’s name.
Marras creatively combined retro styles with modern twists, like pairing bold-colored leathers with vibrant bombers and skirts. Decorations included jet, sequins, bows, and ruffles, while materials were transformed—silks draped like couture gowns, jeans treated like leather, and knitwear styled like raffia. Patterns ranged from florals and leaf prints to checks and speckles, with shades of ecru, black, and vibrant tropical colors like sage green and fluorescent yellow. Dresses, skirts, and tops featured exquisite embroidery, delicate lace, and bold fringing, creating nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary looks.

BOSS

BOSS’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection reimagines classic tailoring with a modern focus on comfort and movement, breaking away from traditional office wear to explore fresh and versatile styles for men and women.
The women’s collection emphasized freedom and flexibility with cropped trouser hems, draped trench coats, and wrap designs in blazers, skirts, and dresses. Bomber jackets featured voluminous sleeves, while drawstring details on tops and hoodies added a casual touch. A standout piece was the backless tunic dress, elegantly designed with draped pleats and a low neckline. Luxurious fabrics like wool, silk, and leather added sophistication, while accessories, including pashminas and soft hobo bags, brought a relaxed vibe. Rounded-toe shoes replaced sharper styles from previous seasons, completing the effortlessly elegant looks.
For men, the collection balanced timeless tailoring with casual refinement. Classic three-button suits were paired with relaxed shirts featuring single pockets, hidden buttons, and drawstring hems. Tailored knee-length trousers and evening-ready silk coats with shawl lapels and piping finishes added a touch of sophistication. Footwear leaned into a laid-back aesthetic, with Italian leather sneakers and slipper-like slides offering style and comfort. Accessories moved away from structured designs, introducing slouchy briefcases, soft document holders, and sporty bags for a more relaxed look.
The collection’s color palette was calm and versatile, featuring light and navy blues, earthy browns, white, black, and soft greens. These hues perfectly complemented the collection’s modern yet understated elegance, making it suitable for both the workplace and beyond.

Roberto Cavalli

The Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2025 collection, presented at sunset in the Greek theater of Siracusa, celebrated the vibrant colors, textures, and spirit of Messina, Italy, with designs inspired by old houses, fishermen’s ropes, sunsets, and the shimmering sea.


The show began with simple tones of white, ivory, and ecru. These colors appeared on trench coats, draped dresses, and loose pants, with embroidered net details and no prints. As the show progressed, colors shifted to rich reds, resembling a sunset sinking into the sea, shown on light silk dresses and jacquard coats. Then, blue took over, inspired by the flowing movement of waves, leading to dazzling sequined dresses that sparkled like mermaids rising from the ocean. The collection highlighted a variety of materials such as jute, cotton, linen, woven raffia, and shiny silk, all crafted to reflect the natural beauty of the sea and land.


As a tribute to Cavalli’s iconic past, the show ended with seven standout pieces from the archives: bold zebra-print slip dresses, a striking black leather and chiffon gown, and glamorous feathered dresses, all from the early 2000s. These designs honored Cavalli’s signature wild and glamorous style. Additionally, a limited “Zebra 2000” capsule collection was introduced, featuring modern zebra-print dresses, shirts, bodysuits, and jeans.

Prada

Prada’s Women’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, redefined the boundaries of fashion with bold contrasts and unexpected pairings. The collection fused Western staples like suede chore coats with futuristic chrome skirts and BDSM-inspired harnesses, creating a striking blend of conservative and provocative styles. Vibrant colors clashed harmoniously, with metallic dresses layered under bright yellow nylon jackets, while classic floral tops balanced daring cutouts and perforated A-line skirts. Innovative materials and techniques, such as moldable wires in shirtdresses and 3D embroidery paired with sporty accents, added texture and dimension. Space-age elements like bug-eyed glasses and clean-cut designs reflected a futuristic aesthetic, while knitwear and pants-free looks introduced youthful, contemporary energy reminiscent of Prada’s sister brand, Miu Miu. Accessories were equally daring, featuring chunky sandals, winged-heel pumps, and playful trompe l’oeil effects. By blending tradition with bold creativity, Prada and Simons delivered a collection that was unapologetically unique and intellectually captivating, reaffirming Prada’s position as a leader in modern fashion.

Emporio Armani

Emporio Armani’s Spring/Summer 2025 show beautifully reminded us that while fashion constantly changes, some styles remain timeless. This show marked a significant milestone as it was Giorgio Armani’s first since turning 90, and it made a powerful statement with over 100 looks blending menswear and womenswear.

The highlight of the show was a female model wearing a men’s suit and tie, symbolizing gender equality—a theme Armani has championed for decades. Inspired by a 1990s Emporio Armani image, the collection reimagined classic styles for both women and men, blending timeless elegance with modern, fluid fashion. The women’s collection featured sharp, boyish silhouettes paired with bright colors, creating a sleek and bold look. Menswear explored oversized designs, with jackets extending to mid-thigh and pants designed with extra volume. These pieces offered a fresh, expertly tailored twist on traditional menswear.

A standout trend was the revival of Armani’s masculine suits, appealing to a younger generation that is moving away from casual streetwear. The collection also included sporty vest dresses with colorful stripes, harnesses, and rainbow-toned parkas, adding a playful, futuristic edge. Armani’s signature precision was seen in pale gray suits with sharply tailored jackets and structured shoulders, offering a balance between modern and classic styling. Menswear pieces embraced volume, with pleated pants and bold, relaxed shapes.

Accessories played a key role, with sunglasses featured in almost every look. Sleek neckties, designer bags, and wristlet wallets hanging from the neck completed the collection, adding stylish finishing touches to both official and modern looks.

Diesel

Diesel’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection highlights their commitment to sustainability, created from almost 15,000 kilos of denim scraps. This innovative use of materials demonstrates their focus on circularity—repurposing denim waste for industries like automotive and insulation, and reusing the entire set after the show.
The collection features denim micro shorts with long fringe embroidery, a leather double-breasted jacket that looks like denim, and distressed jeans with tufted seams and fringe at the ankles. Cotton sweatshirts and dresses have a distressed look created by burning away the cotton to reveal tulle beneath. Tailoring uses double loom jacquard fabric, giving a unique pattern when lasered. Diesel also incorporates prints and materials in unexpected ways. Jersey pieces, like tanks and dresses, feature cracked prints for a bold, unpredictable effect. Circularity is further showcased by reworking Diesel’s bandana prints into draped and knotted dresses and tops.
Accessories include the Play bag printed with Diesel’s bandana, along with the debut of the Play-Double-D sculptural bag. The TRASH-D bag is covered with knotted bandanas, while shoes feature Trompe l’oeil designs like the Lake Platform mule with a transparent sole. Diesel’s eyewear collection, developed with Luxottica, features intentionally distressed sunglasses and moulded optical frames with a triple D design on the temples.
