The 9 major autumn-winter 2024-2025 fashion trends: a catwalk review
The Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 season brings a rich diversity of styles, marked by a subtle blend of reinvention and homage to the past. Here’s a detailed overview of the nine must-have trends.
The art of trompe-l’œil
The catwalks defied convention with daring creations. At Balenciaga and Fendi, clothes are worn in unexpected ways: jackets thrown over the shoulders or sweaters with half-threads. This redefinition of usage inspires us to rethink the way we assemble our outfits.
Transparency revisited
Transparency, once reviled, is reinvented. On the catwalks of Chloé and Helmut Lang, it combines sensuality and subtlety. Revealing without showing too much is the new balance.
The great return of tiles
Checks, timeless classics, are making a comeback. Neglected in recent seasons, they are back in revisited versions. At Loewe and Dries Van Noten, they are modernized with materials such as silk or embroidery. Conversely, Chanel and Dior prefer a more traditional approach, evoking the Scottish Highlands with a luxurious twist. These patterns are becoming a mainstay of winter wardrobes.
Fake furs are everywhere
Faux fur coats dominate. Realistic at Miu Miu and kitsch at Balenciaga, or eco-responsible in merino at Stella McCartney, they reflect an infinite range of interpretations. This material, also present in a feathered version at Erdem, is becoming a winter must-have.
The red persists
Already the star of the spring-summer catwalks, red continues to dominate. Brands such as Jil Sander and Isabel Marant are incorporating it into dazzling monochrome outfits, affirming this hue as the color of boldness and elegance.
Leather domination
Leather is a must-have this winter. Sculpting silhouettes at Acne Studios, draped at Khaite or studded like armor at Hermès, it expresses an assumed and powerful femininity. Dresses, pants, jackets: leather becomes a versatile second skin.
The modernized coquette style
The world of femme-enfant is taking to the catwalks with bows, lace and ruffles. Inspired by trends on social networks, these half-romantic, half-kitsch pieces adapt to sophisticated outfits thanks to Prada or Simone Rocha.
A palette inspired by nature
After the explosion of bright colors of recent years, the nuances are calming down. Organic hues such as fir green and clay take over, offering an elegant transition between discreet beige and intense red.
Rounded shoulders
Fashion softens lines with curved sleeves, seen at Fendi and Louis Vuitton. These elegant, sober shapes contrast with the angular-shouldered silhouettes of previous seasons.
