Paris is always the final lap of fashion month. Currently, the French capital's Spring/Summer 2025 events are in full swing, and the city is brisk with industry heavyweights from all over the world. In anticipation of the latter half of shows, it seemed sensical to quickly get you up to speed on what went down so far.

Unlike the New York, London, and Milan reviews, I'm splitting Paris coverage into two parts – we'll reconvene with a more thorough verdict soon. Until then, however, browse below for some 0.5 PFW spitfire takes on what some of Highsnobiety's favorite designers brought to the table for SS25.

1/2 Paris Fashion Week: What Y'all Missed, In One Place

Acne Studios

Acne Studios was all about 'go big or go home' this season – a recurring theme of the times, it seems, ranging from oversized clothing to ginormous accessories. Padded jeans, tapestry dresses, and macramé two-pieces waddled down the runway in purposefully too-large heels.

Cecilie Bahnsen

Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen joined forces with both The North Face and asics, respectively, for a collection that skillfully juxtaposed girlhood with gorpcore.

Chloé

Extending on her efforts to conjure up the sartorial spirit of a 70s era Stevie Nicks, Chemena Kamali's second Chloé offering is another win for boho-revivalists.

Courrèges

Nicolas Di Felice presented a space age-y, monochromatic line of primarily black and/or white bandeaus, skirts, and cut-out coats.

Dries Van Noten

In what was the brand's first show since its namesake founder's departure, the Dries Van Noten team did a good job at easing us into this new epoch, with clothes that felt familiar enough but fresh.

HELIOT EMIL

HELIOT EMIL's avant-techwear achieved new levels of seductive, sexy even, proving anew they are not to be viewed as a one-trick-pony.

LOEWE

In a feat that was inspired by classical music through and through – from the actual apparel to the set design – Jonathan Anderson bet on Mozart-printed tees, wire-cage skirts and color-blocked men's dress shoes for Spring/Summer 2025.

Mugler

Mugler's vixens stomped down the runway in looks that abandoned body-con onesies for more office siren-gone-nightclub getups, sending out ruffled mini dresses and sharp pantsuits.

Rabanne

I'll be honest with you, I find it pretty hard to associate Rabanne with anything but its chainmail garments. This collection was surprisingly, pleasantly textile-heavy, with metallic touches throughout for good measure

Rick Owens

The Lord of Darkness never fails to live up to his nickname. Blackened eyeballs, fog machines, and ghostly silhouettes made for a characteristically eery display of his taste for the obscure.

Saint Laurent

Anthony Vaccarello took corpcore, oversized and masc'd it, with massive glasses and thicc leather jackets on blazers.

The Row

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen banned cameras from their presentations, so unless you were there, you won't get to see the clothes until they decide otherwise. From what one can gather though, guests were swooning over their luxurious, anticlimactic minimalism – as per usual.

Vaquera

New York duo Vaquera are as far removed from minimalism as can be, and this latest stint indicates no change in said direction. Again, they focused on fun; in their references, the tailoring, and the styling.
