Big results of New York Fashion Week, spring-summer 2025
We have watched three dozen American shows and are ready to give our verdict. What trends do designers on the other side of the ocean predict for the coming season?
It is generally accepted in the fashion industry that the first of the four major Fashion Weeks, New York, is the most commercial of them all. They don’t set trends here as such, but they successfully sell them. And, given the fact that luxury consumers in the United States have actually surpassed China in consumption volumes, most brands today are reorienting their collections to suit the tastes of Americans. This is evidenced quite eloquently by the fact that European brands such as Off-White and Alaï presented their collections on the New York schedule for the first time this year. We consider what the inhabitants of Manhattan and the Hamptons will wear next season and what trends they will certainly set for the whole world
PASTEL
In the spring-summer 2025 season, the catwalks in New York are dismantling the romantic mood. At the show we saw a lot of lace, crocheted, flowers and slides. This is also proven by the color palette - pastel. Shades of strawberry sorbet, blackberry cream, mint and peony buds. It's not just beautiful, but also easy to style. The beauty of this palette is that the pastel colors go well together. The leaders of the delicate range are pale pink (baby pink) and the color of butter (butter yellow).
ASSYMETRY
The fashion for asymmetrical dresses (mostly transparent) continues to gain momentum, giving evening and cocktail dresses a more seductive and at the same time elegant look. As a rule, such deconstruction effectively, but not at all vulgarly, opens the hips and visually makes the legs endless. The lightness of the fabric combined with the asymmetrical structure creates an image that is as delicate as it is bold.
STRIP
Полоски летом — это, конечно, не тренд, а классика. Разница лишь в том, что обычно она ассоциируются с морскими приключениями и топами- тельняшками. В сезоне весна-лето 2025 дизайнеры находят новые способы обыграть этот принт в коллекциях. Одни бренды даже во время каникул напоминают об «учебном» стиле preppy с жакетами и легкими пальто в тонкую костюмную полоску. Другие — берут за ориентир бельевой рисунок по хлопку. Вертикальная или горизонтальная? Широкая, как в новом фильме про Битлджуса, или еле заметная, узкая? Выбор за клиентом — бренды представляют все многообразие.
MINI
Millennial critics are trying to bury the Y2K style for the third year in a row, considering it “total bad taste” from the MTV awards era. Meanwhile, Genzers who were just born in the 2000s or walked under the table will never get enough of Y2K. Hence the ongoing trend for mini lengths, which is not alien even to such prim brands from “high society” as Carolina Herrera.
FRINGE
The fringe apparently has a hypnotic or magical effect. Otherwise, how to explain the fact that this trend has been thriving on the catwalks for the fourth season in a row. Amazing vitality. There is something mesmerizing about fine and graceful threads that create a captivating effect when in motion and create optical illusions when static. In addition, fringe is very easy to combine with any shoes: from flip-flops to Cossacks.
