Fashion Week unveils major changes for A/W 2025

New York Fashion Week, running from February 6 – 11, 2025, kicks off the season with a mix of major brand returns and emerging talent. One of the most anticipated moments is the return of Calvin Klein to the runway, the brand’s first show since 2018. Under the creative direction of Veronica Leoni, the house is expected to reestablish itself with a fresh perspective.

Notably absent from the schedule are Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, leaving room for younger designers to take the spotlight. The event will highlight a mix of established names and rising innovators eager to make their mark.

London Fashion Week, held from February 21 – 24, 2025, continues its reputation for pushing boundaries and fostering avant-garde talent. Among this season’s notable additions are Paolo Carzana, Hodakova, and Duran Lantink, all making their runway debuts. Their work, known for its sustainability-driven approach and unconventional silhouettes, is expected to make a statement.

With a blend of emerging and established brands, London remains a hub for fashion’s most daring designers.

Milan Fashion Week, taking place from February 25 – March 2, 2025, will be defined by anniversaries and leadership transitions. Fendi will commemorate its 100th anniversary, marking a century of influence in luxury fashion.

One of the most closely watched shows will be Gucci’s first collection since Sabato De Sarno’s departure. Instead of appointing a successor immediately, Gucci’s design team will present a collection collectively crafted, making it a highly anticipated industry moment.
