Select your S/S 2025 silhouette – streamlined appears to be like with a graphic edge

At Maria Grazia Chiuri’s S/S 2025 runway present for Dior, the Italian designer referenced the ‘Amazone’, an archival Christian Dior gown from the designer’s 1951 Autumn-Winter Haute Couture assortment. Impressed by a gaggle of French feminine horseriders – ‘Amazone’ derives from the Gallic phrase for ‘aspect saddle’ – Chiuri used it as a jumping-off level for a smooth, sporty outing on the home, the place lean silhouettes referenced the up to date uniforms of girls equestrians and archers (certainly, as a backdrop to the present, the archer-slash-artist Sagg Napoli fired pictures on course).

It spoke to a graphic through-line which ran by means of the season’s collections, seeing streamlined, engineered silhouettes – oftentimes in black – converse to a renewed give attention to design and building. There have been the daring blown-up hourglass attire at Pimples Studios, the impact paying homage to dressing a paper doll; the twisting, body-conscious contours of Antonin Tron’s Atlein (the designer is an avid surfer); or the supersized lace-up fastenings of Demna’s S/S 2025 assortment for Balenciaga.
