Fashion Trends We Saw During Paris Fashion Week In 2025

Lots of fur and leather, expansive shoulder pads and shoes, sunny splashes of yellow; here are some of the trends from Paris Women⁘s Fashion Week 2025, which wrapped up on Tuesday.

Back on the runways last year and in the streets for several months now, fur (mostly fake) was absolutely everywhere in the Fall/Winter 2025 collections, whether as subtle embellishment or as the main material.

At Chlo⁘, it appeared as a stole, on the sleeves of a jacket, on the lapels of a long coat, or as a fox-tail-style charm on a handbag.

At Rabanne , it embellished large leather coats, transparent PVC trench coats, and skirts, while Balenciaga and Ala⁘a used it for several long flashy coats.

Real fur isn⁘t banned on Paris catwalks, unlike London⁘s, and animal-rights activists including PETA and the Brigitte Bardot Foundation protested last week in the French capital.

Alongside fur, leather was another of the star materials, to the extent that it was hard to name a brand that didn⁘t use it, often for coats, but also trousers, skirts, dresses and tops.

A staunch defender of animal rights , Stella McCartney has developed a range in vegan leather, including a snakeskin-effect blouse and a skirt that combines vegan leather at the front with wool at the back.

Oversized jackets have been on-trend for several seasons now, and although the waistlines are becoming slightly more cinched, the shoulders appear to be growing. With their stiff padding, many jackets looked like they had large hangers inside.

Balmain , Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney, Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood, and Paris newcomer Matieres Fecales all sent models out with statement shoulders.
