Spring Summer 2025
By Rebecca McNelly-Tilford
Spring Summer 2025 collections from all over the world, these collections showcase the unique design outcome of each indivdual designer and brands vision on the season. An overall incite on what’s to come for the future of fashion.
For SS25, the collection is to segment the successful elements of the collection currently in market, and to capture a world around them. Give them their own eco system and establish a wardrobe around them that has a purpose behind it.
“AERION” showcases Rivas’ signature blend of futuristic aesthetics and Peruvian heritage, inspired by the interplay of light and shadow.

Roberto Cavalli -Resort
What a legacy he left behind! Roberto Cavalli’s unique heritage filled with colors, prints, innovative techniques, and irresistible joie de vivre will forever live in the Cavalli brand and will continue to inspire those individuals who look at fashion as a playground for continuous experimentation and self-expression. For the new Resort 2025 collection, Creative Director Fausto Puglisi wanted to celebrate the house’s founder looking back at one of his most successful eras, the early 2000s.
Erosão brings the distinction into a contrasting juxtaposition of colour and non-colours, motion and standstill. The movement plugs away from the stillness of the previous AW24 collection.
A central concept in the collection is “spolia,” which involves integrating elements from older structures into new designs. This approach effectively recontextualises Qasimi’s identity, merging past influences with contemporary aesthetics.
The outlines of who we’re supposed to be,and the imprints we leave behind,walk side by side.The rough grip of inherited codes,and the rhythmic appeal of successive, repetitive forms,admired and followed.Stoically familiar figuresreveal intricate and delicate constructionson closer gaze.Like a young boy exploring an engine,components are carefully taken apart.Separating hard and soft,rigid forms multiply and interlock,while lightweight drapery steadily dissolves.Hazy photographic impressionswash over the bodyand hang in the air beyond.Finally fading, a sudden return to the tangiblerenders everyday images sharper and more beautiful than before.
Erdem -Pre Spring
For Pre-Spring 25, Erdem has taken inspiration from the author Radclyffe Hall, during the publication in the 1920s of her controversial (today celebrated) book: The Well of Loneliness. Hall lived openly as a gay woman with her partner Una Troubridge. She frequently wore men’s clothes, latterly renaming herself John. Erdem’s collection plays with the tension between masculine and feminine styles and silhouettes of the 1920s, exploring power and vulnerability simultaneously.

The collection is a mesmerising union of Bridal, Swim and the first foray into Menswear for DI PETSA – an exciting and anticipated new chapter for the brand that puts forward a distinct new vision of what menswear can be within the aura of the DI PETSA world, where tender expressions of wetness and our fluid state are explored-the tensions between strength and fragility – hinting to a wider exploration of menswear for the main SS25 collection to come in September.
SS25 addresses the consequences of progressive advanced technology production and its ghosting protocol over natural landscapes. A fashion offering that merges standard items, collected together with stand-alone pieces and collection sub-layers.
The brand hones in on a sense of duality – between elegance and edge, softness and strength – but in doing so, creates one of their most unexpected, exciting, and undeniably sexy fashion mashups yet. It is a liberated community of artists, athletes, and aesthetes, an underground milieu that is poetry salon, wrestling league, and kink scene all in one.
Fear of God’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection serves as an expansion of Jerry Lorenzo’s unwavering vision for contemporary American luxury, with a considered proposition that deepens the house’s ETERNAL offering.

In the S/S25 collection, the hand-woven insect craftsmanship of the 1980s/1990s in China is re-presented. Straw weaving, a traditional Chinese folk handicraft, is a handicraft woven using wild resources such as cattail grass, corn husks, wheat straw, and tree sticks. The small insects and plants are hand-woven by craftsmen who have worked for many years in the studio and around, taking up to 500 hours of work. Upcycling fashion through clever weaving techniques, they can be turned into handicrafts.
Silvia Venturini Fendi, Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear, considers Fendi as a travelling time capsule mirroring decades and destinations, with Italian craftsmanship as its forever North star. The Men’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection is itself an homage to the universal – sublimating House codes that predate the first men’s silhouette revealed at Fendi in 1990.
To represent the multifaceted nature of masculinity, echoing the diverse characters that form David’s personal social circle, the collection uses juxtapositions as pivotal elements, offering both common place and distinctive qualities.

The collection sets out to strike a balance between ease and sophistication, blending playful characteristics with refined elegance. To temper the overtly masculine utilitarian references, subtle nods to whimsy and sensuality are introduced.

She was an expert serigrapher, a key member of the Caribbean Artist Movement, and a master of colour. The prints featured in the collection, Osiris, Akarana and Trinidad, resound with McNish’s creative freedom and the tropicalized visions of British landscapes and Caribbean flora that made her a seminal figure in design history.
This collection offers effortlessness and lightness with elements of a “fictional tribe.” Touches of womenswear are incorporated to create a gender-neutral image. One of the main inspirations is the Australian three-piece band “Glass Beams.” Inspired by their psychedelic, culture-bending sound, we asked them to perform for the show. The paintings featured are pieces by Jun Takahashi and works by Italian painter Robert Bosisio. In this collection, Takahashi envisions an artist’s everyday wear. In response to the current uncertain state of the world, the pieces strongly express a desire for peace and tranquility.

“This collection is a continuation of an American conversation – a reflection of American luxury, of the Hollywood DNA of Amiri. The clothes fuse stage presence with an irreverent, everyday cool – a California mentality of dress, translated to the Paris runway. It’s about Modern Jazz – meaning both the music, and an attitude.”Mike Amiri
For Spring-Summer 2025, Wooyoungmi expands the idea of the ABK into a liberal exploration of the style domains shared by the two cultures in different ways: yuppie sartorialism, collegiate prep, surfer bohème, agricultural utility and the baseball uniform. Observing the historical nature of the source material through the brand’s forward-thinking Seoulite mentality, the study evolves into a conversation between the past and the future; the hand-spun and the technological. Created with South Korean hand-executed craftsmanship, the collection is Madame Woo’s most artisanal to date.

Symbolism, such as the marronage and resilience are also interwoven throughout.

Throughout the years, we’ve met people who devote their lives to naking recycled materials *or even creating materials from scratch.
The boundaries between the public and the private have dissolved, and the nature of individuals and the collective head toward becoming indistinguishable. Before realizing it, the masks preserving anonymity are replaced by the personalities themselves, revealing the backside of the facial expressions, the side that must not be shown. The 2025 Spring/Summer Collection started out with the intention of projecting this ironic pretence into its designs.
A new path that began in FW24 is further evolving the season. Like the previous season, this collection is captures in three key concepts: escapism – the ability to veer off the beaten path to express novelty and originality fully; freedom – not merely as the absence of constraint, but in its most absolute form; and the future – the desire to approach it with confidence and positivity.
