All the Hits & Misses From Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025

HIT | Louis Vuitton

“Go off and show off, Nicolas! Let the girls know you can challenge taste without it being ugly. It looked expensive, it didn’t look tortured. Bravo!” [reese06]

I loved this collection, and I usually feel a way about what he’s been doing but I love, love, loved all of it.” [jeremydante]

“Great and surprising collection from Nicolas! Despite the layering in the styling, the amount of flow made it so enjoyable. Seeing those fabrics floating as the girls walked was fabulous!” [Lola701]

MISS | Chanel

“Oh how the mighty have fallen…” [Frederic01]

“The set alone is a perfect display of the brand without a creative director: EMPTY! At this point, just give the CD position to anyone with a name because this cannot work for another season. Will it sell? Of course, it will, but it’s not sustainable.” [Salvatore]

“They are desperately in need of new creative director.” [Olaffo]

MISS | Miu Miu

“My biggest fear happened: Miu Miu has become ‘The Lotta Volkova Show’. Is Miuccia even involved in the creative process anymore? It just looks like Lotta went to the archives, pulled a lot of stuff, styled the whole thing with some logo merch, and job done.” [Lola701]

“Styling is 50% of the brand now, and I just find it stupid. Just stupid.” [yslforever]

“I’m really annoyed by all the gimmicks – celebrities, styling, film. The clothes have nothing to say, honestly (and we can say the same about Miuccia).” [thiago]

HIT | McQueen

“1000x better than Seán McGirr’s debut.” [justpassingthrough]

“This is light years away from that heinous debut. It’s unexpectedly good. It’s not on Lee’s (or even Burton’s) level, but it’s was a good collection and a good show. He should’ve dumped the heavy platforms in favour of sleek stilettos and “floating” heels, however one factor at a time.” [LadyJunon]

“For me this show was a massive improvement from his debut, massive. We can all agree that we will never get McQueen in the dark version of yore, that’s a thing of the past. But I thought that McGirr this time got his s**t together and delivered a much more focused and commercially appealing collection.” [bc collector]

MISS | Valentino

“It feels very déjà-vu and I blame the excessive styling. I believe without the amount of lace gloves, piercings, and better casting, it would’ve felt less Michele and more Garavani.” [thiago]

“Michele almost fooled me with that first look. The most anticipated show of the season and the most flop one. He confirmed he is a one-trick pony and has the most one-dimensional vision ever.” [FashionPower]

“No evolution. Gucci 2.0.” [Grets]

MISS | Balenciaga

“Same shtick, different season. The sooner Balenciaga and Demna part ways the better. Absolutely cannot wait to move on from this monstrosity of a direction. This whole streetwear aesthetic for Balenciaga feels beyond tired, dated, and overplayed in 2024.” [vogue28]

“Why do we exist in a world where this vision of Balenciaga is tolerated…especially by luxury consumers?” [GERGIN]

“So pedestrian and basic. Remember when Balenciaga was synonymous with chic, fashion-forward clothes?” [tourbillions]

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

“Truly stunning. Seriously can’t stop looking at this collection. This is how you do real punk, kids, unlike any Hedi Slimane or Marc Jacobs take on it. I feel it like a contemporary, more sculptural Vivienne Westwood.” [philophile]

“I can’t imagine the Paris fashion week without Yohji and the lovely Hôtel De Ville. Hands down one of the best collections this season!” [Kanzai]

“Truly gorgeous. The master can do no wrong even if it’s just a little expansion of his usual vocabulary. In the sea of pretentious fashion, Yohji remains true to himself. A feast to be savored!” [dancv]

MISS | Pierre Cardin

“That looks like an Emily in Paris collection. Dreadful, abysmal… a caricature.” [thiago]

MISS | Carven

“Not sure what happened here. I loved Louise Trotter’s first two collections for Carven. Everything here just looks off.” [tatouejeremie]

“I only see complacency here. Paris has been a disappointment. Nobody is trying anything new.” [Alquimista]

“I love what she’s done with Carven, but this collection feels a bit too complicated. Some of the silhouettes are too sloppy. It would have been a lot better if she showed more knitwear, some structured pieces.” [Kennnnn]

HIT | Isabel Marant

“It might be her best collection!” [prylvi]

HIT | Akris

“Finally a tasteful and elegant collection is such a boring and underwhelming season. I usually like Albert Kriemler’s work and he remains underrated. One of the only collections to get frills right and the orange section is quite sublime as well.” [Fiercification]

“I like this so much! A relief to see this. A nice breeze through this collection – just the right timbre with pleasant moments. It’s so light. Bravo.” [TerraVera]

MISS | Duran Lantink

“It was interesting for a milli-second…” [90sfan]

MISS | Stella McCartney

“This is so messy.” [youthinasia]

“It’s a bit all over the place indeed. I can’t see any cohesion in this collection. Oversized suits, chiffon dresses, leather dresses, t dresses, ripped pants/tops/dresses, lace, wool balloon tops, sequin, pearls. cut-ouPhew, that’s a lot to take.” [Valentine27]

“It’s like the Ann Taylor and Hervé Léger shows got mixed together.” [Irere]

MISS | Gabriela Hearst

MISS | Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood

“Sad to say… I just don’t feel Vivienne anymore.” [bennyboy]

“Where’s the ‘punk’? How can you be anti-mainstream, when you create something so easily digestible? With a brand like VW I don’t even care if it’s try-hard or edgy or obnoxious, because that’s the entire point!” [Machinegumm]

“It was cleaner, more commercial. It lacked that defiant punk energy that Vivienne did so well.
Even the runway soundtrack was odd, it wasn’t Vivienne Westwood at all.” [jeremydante]

MISS | Victoria Beckham

“She’s desperately trying to be someone she clearly isn’t.” [helmutnotdead]

MISS | Ann Demeulemeester
