A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON GRUNGE

Cargo pants, vintage-effect denim, chunky combat boots, and plaid flannel shirts – this season, we’re returning once again to the 90s, turning our attention to the grunge aesthetic that reigned supreme in that era. Inspired by the vision of top fashion houses, we’re opting for bold, rebellious, and deliberately unpolished designs reminiscent of the iconic looks of Kurt Cobain or Layne Staley. The choices are endless, as the spring-summer collections weren’t confined to a single, strictly defined aesthetic. On the contrary – each brand offered its own interpretation of this cult style, thus building a unique group of dedicated admirers.

At Givenchy, oversized cargo pants took center stage, along with styles crafted from specially aged denim and utilitarian silhouettes in shades of moss green. Matthieu Blazy’s collection for Bottega Veneta featured plaid shirts, while Blumarine and Balenciaga focused on wardrobe staples for the lower body – distressed, “dirty” jeans and cargo pants sized several sizes too large. Besides its characteristic denim, Diesel showcased its own vision of grunge through distressed leather coats and patterned pieces in an earthy color palette. What will you choose this season? Discover our style inspirations, all influenced by this iconic aesthetic, and find something just for you.

FLOWER POWER

It might seem that everything has already been said about floral patterns, yet the spring-summer collections prove that this beloved seasonal motif is set to take on an entirely new and rarely seen form. Leading designers have taken floral prints a step further this season, unveiling pieces that can already be deemed true works of art. An undeniable pioneer of this eye-catching trend is Jonathan Anderson and his extraordinary collection for Loewe. Known for his unconventional approach, the designer revisited the long-forgotten anthurium flower, transforming it into unbelievably spectacular shapes. The poisonous plant not only became three-dimensional appliqués—in fact, by morphing into the very structure of tops and corsets, it became a full-fledged element of the wardrobe.

A new take on florals has also been revealed by Bottega Veneta, Dries Van Noten, and Acne Studios. At the Italian fashion house, flowers bloomed across sheer slips and the matching handbags, while the Belgian designer translated them into fabric structures found on blazers, shirts, skirts, and avant-garde heeled shoes. Jonny Johansson, creative director of the Scandinavian label, adorned transparent, body-hugging dresses with vibrant flowers and transformed pant straps into blooming roses on stems. Which interpretation best reflects your style?

EXPERIMENTING WITH CLASSICS

Timeless denim evolves this season far beyond the classic pair of jeans or the staple denim jacket found in every wardrobe. The spring-summer collections have only strengthened our conviction that even the most ubiquitous wardrobe staples, when adopting new construction features, can completely transform our looks and elevate them to the highest level of avant-garde. A perfect example of this can be seen in the original layered total looks that appeared on the runways of Burberry, Chloé, and Stella McCartney. Riccardo Tisci opted for an experiment with form, Gabriela Hearst adorned the fabric with decorative ties, while the British designer added a twist to seemingly classic looks with frayed finishes and striking inserts made of vegan leather.

Matthew Williams, the creative director of Givenchy, has also presented his own interpretation of this trend. Alongside oversized monogrammed shorts and jackets, there were grunge-inspired designs crafted from deliberately aged denim: from baggy jeans and skirts to unique corset tops and perfectly color-coordinated shoulder bags. A similar effect, reflecting the rebellious aesthetic that dominated the 1990s, was achieved by Diesel. The Italian brand confirmed that it still has plenty to say in the world of denim, blending this ordinary fabric with tulle, weaving it into corsets, decorating it with fringes, interlacing it with lace, and dyeing it in hues that look as if they have been faded by the sun.

FROM THE BEDROOM TO THE STREET

Nightwear is no longer reserved solely for sleeping. Sheer, lace, and mesh fabrics have graced the runways for the past several seasons, but it is truly the spring-summer collections that culminate this trend. World-renowned designers, drawing inspiration from silk nightgowns, semi-transparent slips, and lingerie-inspired corsets, have elevated evening fashion to an entirely new level. In their exclusive ready-to-wear collections, they showcased this trend both in seductive, bold silhouettes and sensual, minimalist constructions. The former dominated the collections at Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Nensi Dojaka. The Italian fashion houses opted for daring, body-hugging corset designs, while the Albanian designer experimented with mini dresses, embellishing them with decorative lace and striking lurex textures.

A counterpoint to these extravagant styles can be found in the sheer and semi-sheer designs by Saint Laurent, Fendi, and Bottega Veneta. Anthony Vaccarello—the master of refined elegance—opted for perfectly tailored column dresses, while Kim Jones and Matthieu Blazy embraced transparent creations inspired by lingerie slips. Which look will you choose?

MINIMALISM 2.0

Practicality, pragmatism, and a muted color palette. Simplicity in fashion is thriving, and the continued popularity of utilitarian minimalism this autumn/winter season proves it perfectly. As an extension—and often elevation—of the beloved classic style among fashion enthusiasts, designers are once again exploring the timeless charms of fashion, offering a fresh and often unexpected take on modern understated luxury. In Bottega Veneta's spring/summer collection, simple-cut shirts and blazers took centre stage, joined by tops and skirts in shades ranging from beige to ecru. Wool pieces intertwined with leather designs, creating a cohesive and well-considered vision of stylish casualwear meant to last more than just one season. At Dries Van Noten, we were impressed by silhouettes featuring tailored trousers as the highlight. In particular, we loved the look with an oversized blazer in a striking turquoise shade, which perfectly broke up the formality of the entire outfit.

When reflecting on the spring approach to minimalism, it's impossible not to mention the collections from Lanvin and Jil Sander. In the latest offering from the French fashion house, Bruno Sialelli opted for immaculate coats and elegant shorts in an earthy color palette, while the brand led by Luke and Lucie Meier dared to go much further. Alongside monochromatic and detail-restrained ensembles, there were skirts adorned with cascading feathers, tops with decorative cut-outs, and dresses featuring dazzling sequin accents at the hips. Who said classics have to be boring?

DETAILS MATTER

If stark minimalism is not for you, you will surely fall in love with bold details like extravagant sequins or eye-catching, maximalist fringe. Designers have made sure to cater to this group of fashionistas as well, offering a range of looks inspired by the wild 1980s. We could admire shimmering sequins primarily on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga, Nensi Dojaka, and Michael Kors. Sensual dresses and tops took center stage, with skirts of various lengths and nonchalant trousers also making an appearance, while here and there, extravagant bodysuits and jumpsuits appeared. Although silver pieces drew the most attention, creative directors did not forget about this season's trendiest shades, such as juicy red, timeless blue tones, and beloved pink.

As for fringe and feathers—the color play was in full swing. Bottega Veneta and Alexander McQueen balanced between red and blue, green appeared on Victoria Beckham's bags, and at Versace we spotted violets. Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, in their The Attico collection, mixed several shades at once instead of choosing just one, while at Proenza Schouler, sky blue and timeless browns reigned supreme. The duo of Jil Sander and Jacquemus presented a more understated version of the trend, with designs adorned with creamy and ivory fringe of varying lengths.

INCOGNITO MODE

The 1980s are proving to be a major source of inspiration this season. Beyond sequins and cascades of feathers, fashion is once again embracing the hottest styling element of that era: the hood. And it's certainly not the kind found on sporty sweatshirts—it’s all about the iconic component of the 'hooded dress' popularized in 1986 by Azzedine Alaïa’s muse, Grace Jones. In this season’s spring-summer collections, we witnessed the grand return of this refined silhouette, as the most influential brands have rediscovered its creative potential and endless opportunities for experimentation.

Special recognition goes to Saint Laurent, Versace, and, of course, Alaïa. The world’s leading fashion houses didn't limit themselves to just one approach. The runways were dominated by elegant draped dresses and luxurious tops, while practical bodysuit designs also made an appearance. The color palette dazzled with variety: black contrasted beautifully with white, shades of purple mingled with browns, and a vibrant lime green served as the cherry on top.
