What's been some of your best and worst of the S/S 2025 season? Some personal highlights for me have been Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors Collection, Richard Quinn, Max Mara, Tom Ford, Gucci, Ferrari, Dolce & Gabbana, Saint Laurent and Chanel. Massively missed Giorgio Armani in Milan this season...
 
This was a depressing season for me, I kept hoping something magnificent would come and it never did. Elated it’s over!

Better:
Tod’s
Standing Ground
Junya Watanabe
Yohji Yamamoto

Good:
Diesel
Ralph Lauren (show and experience, not clothes)
Issey Miyake
Dries Van Noten
Missoni

Worst (soo sooooo many but to pick a few) :
Balenciaga
Burberry
Balmain
Dior
Acne
Fendi
 
My two favorite shows of the season are Celine and Louis Vuitton.

Essentially, they represents two opposite of the spectrum that is High Fashion RTW:

Celine is RTW to the T. Clothes that are comforting, classic, modern in the cut and timeless in their allure and in terms of taste.
It was about essentials of a wardrobe.

Louis Vuitton however symbolises what RTW can be: a laboratory of ideas, an escape from banality and clothes that are maybe not essentials but can be timeless as a statement of a style.

Above all, those shows symbolises two strong POV that despite the commercial constraints, never compromises on the philosophy of the designers that signed them.

Beyond those two collections the following ones were my favorite of the season:
- Marni
- Sunnei
- Missoni
- Versace
- Max Mara
- Dries Van Noten

Literally a handful that I don't even care enough to mention. The state of fashion is DIRE. and I remember thinking the S/S 2015 season was bad.
 
Best:
Courrèges
Missoni
Ashlyn
Sacai
Junya Watanabe
Issey Miyake
Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini

Honorable mention: Celine for the few Cristobal Balenciaga inspired pieces, Yohji Yamamoto, and giving some credit to Khaite for a couple of looks I really liked and for trying something new, even if some of it were failed experiments.

This Fashion Week was an absolute disappointment, though. Nothing truly blew me away like it did a few years back.

Worst is of course Balenciaga, though Jil Sander was a massive disappointment.
 
Best in no particular order, and for distinctive reasons:
- LV,
- Issey Miyake,
- Mame Kurogouchi,
- Dries,
- Céline,
- Valentino
- Missoni
- Moschino
- Max Mara and Tod's, I suppose, but I lower the bar for them.

Disappointments:
Ferragamo, YSL, Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu, Prada, Chloé, Rabanne, Courrèges

No hope:
Dior, Gucci, Chanel, Burberry,
 
the ones i enjoyed the most are missoni, max mara, louis vuitton, yohji yamamoto, junya watanabe,
