١. Prada F/W 25 Menswear
The Fall/Winter 2025 menswear collection by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons explores the raw essence of human instincts and creativity, focusing on emotions and spontaneous choices. The designs blend primal energy with refined elegance, using materials like shearling to provide warmth and comfort, while knitwear adorned with metal symbols evokes modern amulets of protection. The collection, donning unique elements and unexpected contrasts brings out the brand’s universal appeal. Set in an industrial yet intimate space designed by AMO, the show reinforces themes of human connection and the instinctive need for closeness.
٢. Zegna RTW 25 Menswear
Zegna’s Fall/Winter 2025 show, was inspired by Ermenegildo Zegna’s personal wardrobe, combining tradition with modern design. Creative director Alessandro Sartori focused on Vellus Aureum, the world’s finest wool, to create thick, structured pieces that are soft, durable, and stylish. The collection featured luxurious materials like cashmere, mohair, corduroy velvet, and soft vegetable-tanned leather, with a focus on timeless designs that can be passed down through generations. Key pieces included unstructured blazers, oversized coats with cashmere fur collars, brushed alpaca sweaters, and washed velvet jackets for a relaxed yet elegant look. Inspired by Australian landscapes, the colour palette featured earthy tones and rich wine hues. Balancing tradition, sustainability, and innovation, Zegna created a collection that redefines luxury as timeless, ethical, and built to last.
٣. QASIMI AW 25 Menswear
Qasimi’s AW25 collection, which marks a grand debut at the coveted Milan Fashion Week, is a collaboration between Hoor Al Qasimi and Māori artist Emily Karaka. Inspired by Karaka’s powerful artworks exploring ancestral history, land rights, and resilience, the collection transforms these themes into fashion. Loose shirts and trousers inspired by Middle Eastern and North African styles, slouchy windbreakers, and soft tailoring blend comfort with elegance. Modular features like adjustable seams and detachable details allow wearers to customize each piece. A warm palette of browns, sand, maroon, and indigo pairs with rich textures like jacquards and frayed seams. Karaka’s iconic work “He Kakano Ahau” is reimagined in vibrant embroidery and brushstroke-inspired patterns, making each garment a tribute to indigenous identity and creative expression. Through this collaboration, Qasimi highlights the power of unity and storytelling in fashion.
٤. Emporio Armani FW 25 Menswear
Emporio Armani’s Fall 2025 show at Milan’s Teatro Armani showcased a perfect blend of elegance, playfulness, and practicality. The collection featured sharp blazers, stylish coats, and pleated trousers in warm tones like tobacco and chocolate, paired with shimmering sweaters, ruffled trousers, and structured leather pieces for added texture. Bold leopard prints, brocade bomber jackets, and playful hats brought personality, while practical winter pieces like puffers and down jackets in bright colours added a confident, cosy touch. Balancing timeless sophistication with youthful charm, the collection captured modern style at its finest.
٥. Dolce & Gabbana F/W 25 Menswear
Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2025 menswear show, Paparazzi, turned the runway into a cinematic spectacle, complete with a burgundy red carpet and flashing cameras. Held at the Metropol, a former cinema, the show paid homage to Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, where the term “paparazzi” first originated. The collection seamlessly blended old Hollywood glamour with modern flair, featuring sleek tuxedos adorned with crystal brooches and cummerbunds alongside casual, early 2000s-inspired pieces like faux-fur jackets, slouchy jeans, and cargo pants. Bold touches of leopard print and sequins added drama, reflecting the duality of a star’s life—from relaxed moments to red-carpet elegance. The result was a cohesive celebration of timeless style and cinematic allure.
