Here’s what to watch out for in London, New York, Paris, and Milan.
With fashion month just around the corner, many eagerly await the fashion month dates as the world’s style capitals gear up for the busiest month of the year: the womenswear spring/summer shows.
The womenswear spring/summer 2025 Fashion Weeks start in New York on September 6, 2024, followed by London, Milan, and Paris.
New York Fashion Week: September 6-11
New York Fashion Week will begin on Friday, September 6, with a show by AREA, a witty and vivid brand founded in New York City by designers Piotrek Panszczyk and Beckett Fogg. Having grown beyond its Downtown roots, AREA’s ethos is inclusiveness and irreverent glamour, injecting a playful Gen-Z pop energy into its designs: the perfect choice to kick off New York’s famously multi-faceted Fashion Week.
The following shows will include brands from native U.S. designers such as Brandon Maxwell, Coach, and Michael Kors. A new arrival for NYFW is Off-White, a label frequently sported by American models Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Under creative director Ib Kamara, the brand will swap Paris for New York, showing on the afternoon of Sunday, September 16.
While anticipated New York-based designers such as Proenza Schouler are still absent from the schedule, we’ll see a renaissance of returning designers such as Tory Burch and Carolina Herrera, both showing on Monday, September 9.
London Fashion Week: September 12-17
The next show to take the reigns will be London, which begins slightly earlier this year to avoid a cross-over with Milan, which starts on September 17. London Fashion Week’s 40th anniversary has many celebrations from emerging labels and well-established names. Everyone is excited about the London Fashion Month dates.
Harris Reed, Patrick McDowell, and Standing Ground are the new faces to grace the London line-up. “At the same time, veteran British brands such as Erdem, Simone Rocha, and Burberry will showcase their new spring/summer designs.”
Other British labels include Roksanda, Ahluwalia, and Aaron Esh. An anticipated designer to watch out for is Derrick. Founded by Central Saint Martins graduate Luke Derrick, the brand enjoyed plenty of buzz last season for its sleek, contemporary riff on men’s tailoring. Nensi Dojaka will also return to the runway after a brief hiatus.
Milan Fashion Week: September 17-23
Camera Nazionale della Moda, the organizers of this year’s Milan Fashion Week, have decided the show will run a day longer to give more time to its calendar of over 200 appointments.
Therefore, the week will kick off on September 17 with Rome-rooted designer Fendi. Blockbuster designers Prada, Gucci, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Bottega Veneta will showcase their highly anticipated collections. Keep in mind the Milan Fashion Month dates to catch your favorite collections.
Tom Ford and Giorgio Armani are not participating. Susan Fang will debut a new look for Dolce & Gabbana.
Paris Fashion Week: September 23-October 1
Paris Fashion Week rounds off a whirlwind month of style and spirit. The most eagerly anticipated moment will be Alessandro Michele’s first runway collection at Valentino. Furthermore, Michele became the Italian label’s creative director in March this year following his departure from Gucci.
A noticeable absence will include Givenchy, currently without a creative director. Other fashion maestros lacking creative directors are Dries Van Noten and Chanel, who will show on Wednesday, September 25, and Tuesday, October 1.
Do not miss out on the latest shows from Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens, Dior, Saint Laurent, Hermès, and Balenciaga.
“Coperni will showcase its spring/summer 2025 collection at Disneyland Paris, combining magic with reality and childhood nostalgia.”
