The schedule is still under wraps but Gucci will be the fashion week opener with its "unified" runway show to be staged on Feb. 25.

Valentino presented a dizzying display at Paris haute couture week, fusing the past and present in theatrical, ostentatious designs. As the most hotly anticipated show of the week, Valentino’s spring/summer 2025 show was Alessandro Michele’s debut couture outing at the Italian fashion house.

PARIS — Alessandro Michele’s Valentino couture debut was the most anticipated ticket of Paris Couture Week, and the designer didn't disappoint with a lavish spectacle at the Palais Brongniart, a fittingly historic backdrop for his past-meets-present storytelling.

Hermès menswear, steeped in stealth chic, was another highlight of the season, with a focus on luxe outerwear crafted in the maison's signature buttery leather and chic knits. Top coats, toggle coats and car coats worn over snuggly knit turtlenecks set the mood for a cozy winter dressing, which is high on quiet luxury.

The designer tapped American photographer Tina Barney to shoot the “Gucci Together” campaign fronted by real couples and families that are part of the fashion industry.
