The main event in the fashion industry has concluded, providing a comprehensive opportunity to summarize Paris Haute Couture Week. It is noteworthy that the latest collections presented at fashion weeks have significantly embraced a more democratic approach. Simplified styles and decorative elements, suit styles, long straight silhouettes without extravagance, sheath dresses, and flowing fabrics were prominently featured.
Asymmetry and high necklines remain among the most popular styles of the new season. Additionally, there was an abundance of various capes, cloaks, and boleros; numerous ideas incorporating feather themes, as well as a continuation of floral improvisations.
Special mention should be made of the off-the-shoulder style and open corsets paired with sheath dresses. Furthermore, straps and variations of V-necks were prominently displayed. A considerable number of ideas in suit styles were also presented. Among accessories, gloves stand out as a key trend for the Fall-Winter 2024-2025 season.
The main shade is the primary trend of the season. Although the Pantone color chosen for 2025 is Future Dusk—a dark, somber, and intriguing hue situated between blue and purple—the dominant color on the runways was black.
Asymmetry
Currently, the asymmetrical style is at the peak of its popularity. Asymmetry is a popular trend not only in fashion but also in hairstyles and architecture. Although this style has been used since the 18th century, it became a distinct and self-sufficient style only in the 20th century. In the mid-century, Christian Dior explored asymmetry in his collections "Zigzag" (1949) and "Diagonal" (1950). Asymmetrical details beautifully complemented Dior's impeccable daytime ensembles, and they looked equally stunning in evening gowns. The most famous of these was the evening dress "Gruau," made of ivory silk satin and named after the renowned fashion illustrator René Gruau.
