Whether it was high-profile creative director debuts, seismic exits from storied houses, or industry whispers turning into reality, the shifts this season were as monumental as they were numerous. The Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show season in Paris saw the much-anticipated creative debuts at Givenchy, Dries Van Noten, and Tom Ford, setting the stage for a new chapter in luxury fashion. Meanwhile, the runway castings reflected an evolving but complicated landscape: while age diversity saw an encouraging rise, size diversity took a noticeable step back. As the season unfolded, a new wave of model talent took center stage, carving out undeniable moments across the calendar.
