Paris Fashion Week Men’s 2025 wrapped up in the middle of a major heatwave – both in temperature and fashion energy. Designers kept the clothes simple and wearable this year, with smart tailoring, block colors, and fewer dramatic gimmicks. But even with quieter collections, the shows themselves were still full of surprises, set in famous Paris landmarks and attended by stars.
Dior’s New Chapter Begins
One of the most talked-about moments was Jonathan Anderson’s debut for Dior Men. Known for his work with J.W. Anderson and Loewe, Anderson brought a playful and relaxed luxury to Dior. He gave new shapes to old classics, like Dior’s 1950s Bar jacket and ballgown styles, and even added floral touches inspired by French poet Baudelaire. Stars like Rihanna and Sabrina Carpenter watched from the front row.
India-Inspired Style at Louis Vuitton
Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton show was held outside the Centre Pompidou and featured rich Indian influences. The show space looked like the Snakes and Ladders board game and included jackets inspired by the movie The Darjeeling Limited. Pharrell blended luxury with comfort, showing off silky coats, colorful shorts, and hiking-ready boots.
Back to School with Grace Wales Bonner
Designer Grace Wales Bonner celebrated 10 years of her label with a show at a Paris school. Her collection mixed British tailoring with sporty pieces and bold African details, including brooches and bright fabric on collars.
Bold Statements from Willy Chavarria
Willy Chavarria opened his show with a powerful political message about migrant rights, followed by bold suits in soft pinks, lavenders, and shiny fabrics. He mixed retro styles with strong messages and Latino culture.
Color and Emotion Elsewhere
At Saint Laurent, 1970s Fire Island inspired soft silk shirts and colorful suits. Dries Van Noten blended formalwear with sporty clothes, including boxing shorts and silk waistcoats.
Jacquemus Ends on a Dreamy Note
Finally, Jacquemus closed the week at Versailles with a dreamy show inspired by childhood memories in the South of France. His designs looked like sweet summer outfits, with soft whites, aprons, and bags shaped like garlic and strawberries.
In 2025, Paris Fashion Week showed that fashion can be meaningful, simple, and still magical.
