With their FW25 Menswear collection, Acne Studios reimagines classic menswear codes through a lens of subtle subversion. In exploration of duality, the collection juxtaposes urbane elegance with off-duty ease, showcasing low-slung trousers, cropped t-shirts, and voluminous shearling jackets. The color palette moves from sartorial navy and asphalt grey to bold red, orange, and denim blue, with accents of soft pink and vintage burgundy. Key silhouettes nod to 1980s power dressing, blending tailoring flannel, supersized corduroy, and experimental denim treatments. Accessories like studded brogues, ballet-inspired sneakers, and a Western-style loafer epitomize the collection’s eclectic ethos. Acne Studios injects sportswear into menswear traditions with prints reminiscent of vintage gym gear and warped pinstripes that redefine subversion.

Titled “Suspicious Minds,” 032c unveiled their FW25 collection during Paris Fashion Week, exploring an interrogation of beliefs through a unique fusion of tradition and futurism. Creative director Maria Koch subverts alpine-inspired silhouettes, incorporating melting floral patterns, exaggerated janker jackets, and Dirndl-inspired proportions. Macabre twists such as collapsing silk collars and seam-sealed coats reimagine classic tailoring. The result is an “anti-Zeitgeist” uniform that balances timeless European aesthetics with dystopian undercurrents. In collaboration with the brands Mykita and SCAROSSO, the collection was enriched with innovative eyewear and shoes. Exploring the tension between familiarity and the unknown, the collection transforms critical thought and creative rebellion into wearable art.

Panconesi FW25 merges celestial motifs with architectural precision to redefine jewelry. Key collections – Ritorto, Serpent, and Blow Up – embrace a nuanced interplay of fashion and fine jewelry. The brand’s experimentation with metals and stones creates second-skin designs, from spiraling ear cuffs to pendulum earrings that evoke celestial bodies. Blow Up earrings debut in bold, oversized forms, while agate pendants reinterpret light and reflection with understated sophistication. Panconesi’s innovative approach culminates in designs like constellation bracelets and floating cluster earrings that appear weightless and gravity-defying. Each piece challenges conventional perceptions, offering an evocative blend of cosmic inspiration and modern minimalism.

Egon Lab’s FW25 collection delivers a visionary exploration of romantic rebellion. Known for their commitment to inclusivity and bold statements, the brand infuses classic tailoring with punk-inspired elements. Layering, asymmetry, and deconstruction dominate, with fabric choices ranging from mohair to leather. Vibrant splashes of color interrupt monochrome palettes, symbolizing transformation and renewal. Statement outerwear – such as oversized trench coats with exaggerated shoulders – balances utility with drama. Accessories play with scale and materiality, including heavy-soled boots and sculptural necklaces. Egon Lab continues to redefine genderless fashion, creating a dialogue between heritage and future-forward design, cementing its status as a trailblazer in contemporary fashion.
