By Rebecca McNelly-Tilford
Fashion Week season is upon us, and brands from all corners of the globe are preparing to showcase their latest collections. The fashion weeks offer an exciting glimpse into the trends and styles that will define the upcoming seasons. From bold new designs to innovative takes on classic silhouettes, we’ll be seeing a diverse range of looks. Along with the main runway presentations, we’ve also included some pre-fall collections, giving you an early preview of what’s to come and how the fashion world is evolving.
As the brand continues to evolve, and with a genuine commitment to better addressing the needs of their male customers, CFCL is reclassifying its previously UNISEX items as “MEN” starting with the milestone FW25 collection.
This wardrobe is carefully designed to complement a masculine physique and emphasize practicality, offering comfort for modern business professionals who live life in their own unique way.
The inspiration comes from natural earth tones, in particular from Desert Sienna, skillfully used to dye the OJJ the iconic fabric of the brand. This craftsmanship, which fully respects traditional processes, gives the garment shades ranging from tarnished to rust, unique and authentic shades, making each piece unique in terms of aesthetics and tactile/material experience. The Dust-dyed Nylon Suede is also back in the collection in a series of variations with natural nuances.
Carefully moulded silhouettes, round and billowing volumes, airy fabrics and evocative patterns: the Rochas Pre-Fall 2025-2026 collection weaves a narrative through attires that echo defining moments in the life of /a Belle Hélène, the sophisticated woman personifying the strong, uncompromising femininity Rochas caters to. The collection infuses the every day with extraordinary pieces, enlivened by the movements and by the body of their wearer, whose personality turns clothes into fashion.
The MSGM Men’s FW25 collection invites us on a journey, “Follow the Rabbit” acts both as an invitation and a warning, guiding those curious enough to explore unknown paths. The rabbit, a recurring and mysterious symbol in the collection, represents more than just a motif-it marks the beginning of transformation. What starts in a playful, almost childlike manner slowly shifts into something darker and more complex. This evolution reflects the passage from innocence to a more mature, sometimes unsettling reality, where two worlds blend seamlessly.
Conveying this theme at the heart of the showroom was “The Tree of Writing,” a captivating art installation created in collaboration with the art studio Edinas Paper, Montblanc’s longtime partner. Crafted entirely from paper, the tree features book pages as leaves, with each page carrying an inspirational quote selected by Montblanc Artistic Director Marco Tomasetta. With its flourishing branches overlooking the showroom, “The Tree of Writing” symbolizes how writing traverses time and space to connect people, preserve memories and inspire generation after generation, just as it extends throughout Montblanc’s roots to inspire its collections today.
Bright Star
This season, PIERRE-LOUIS MASCIA introduces twenty new original prints, including a dozen for ready-to-wear. The motifs are mixed, painted, redrawn, composed and recomposed, and transformed in a subtle blend of analogue and digital techniques. Here, we encounter echoes of the melancholic portraits of Julia Margaret Cameron, the Pre-Raphaelite drawings of dandy artist Aubrey Beardsley, symbolizing the decadence of the fin de siècle, and melancholic fragments of Bright Star. This quest for the ephemeral is embodied in luxurious fabrics.
The collection channels the rebellious energy of the ’70s and ’90s, paired with the exacting craftsmanship of today. Each piece deconstructs the familiar and reassembles it with a sense of freedom, striking a balance between precision and play. Timeless garments are transformed into bold new silhouettes that challenge tradition.
GR10K presents AW25 as a reflection of its ethos: garments optimized to function in contemporary production infrastructures—i.e., garments stereotypically labelled as workwear as a safe-conduct commercial standard. The common concept of workwear, as framed by today’s retail landscape, is a simplifying norm applied to fashion’s coalescence.
The FW25 collection highlights the brand’s unique, signature style and captures the essence of the German Designer in all his glory. The FW25 menswear pieces are an ode to the genuine duality of man, from daywear that is as contemporary and classic, to eveningwear that is both refined, regal and wholly individual.

The new bags embody the brand’s signature blend of effortless functionality and refined elegance.
