At Paris Couture Week FW25, Yuima Nakazato offered not just a fashion collection, but a haunting meditation on the fragility of the human form, and the primal, almost sacred role of clothing as protector, second skin, and silent witness. Inspired by a deeply intimate journey to the icy wilds of Finland with dancer Evgeny Ganeev, Nakazato transformed the runway into a sanctuary for philosophical storytelling — where art, memory, and couture converged.

In the opulent heart of Paris Couture Week, Zuhair Murad cast a golden spell with his Fall Winter 2025–2026 Haute Couture collection—a glittering homage to the commanding femininity and timeless glamour of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Anchored in the elegance and spirit of screen goddesses like Katharine Hepburn, the collection transcended costume and memory, reawakening the legacy of women who were not only stars—but symbols of power, independence, and grit.

With the unveiling of his Fall Winter 2025–2026 Haute Couture collection, titled "KANZ"—the Arabic word for “treasure”—Ziad Nakad delivered a shimmering testament to eternal femininity, cultural richness, and heirloom splendor. Unfolding like a whispered tale from an ancient vault, the lookbook revealed gowns that felt less like garments and more like artifacts of grace, imbued with the aura of lost royalty and resurrected memory.

In the often shadowed and serious terrain of Fall/Winter collections, Kevin Germanier staged a radical act of joy. His FW25–26 Haute Couture collection, titled The Players, wasn’t just a fashion show—it was a chromatic revolution, a kaleidoscopic burst of rebellion set in the cavernous depths of IRCAM, Paris’s famed institute for experimental sound. It was underground in location, but sky-high in spirit.

At a time when fashion often chases volume and spectacle, Chocheng offered something entirely different: silence as luxury, stillness as rebellion, and precision as poetry. His Fall/Winter 2025–2026 Haute Couture collection was a deeply reflective statement, one that spoke not with flamboyance but with graceful defiance, rooted in the quiet power of restraint.
