The fashion capital sets the pace

Paris once again became the most influential stage in the fashion world, with Paris Fashion Week 2025 exceeding all expectations. The City of Lights lit up with visionary designers, style stars, side events and plenty of glamour. More than just shows, this edition reaffirmed Paris’s role as the capital of elegance, while embracing innovation, sustainability and diversity.

In this article, we explore the main collections, emerging trends, behind-the-scenes curiosities, the influence of technology and the impact this week has had (and will continue to have) on the world of fashion and jewellery.

The global impact of Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week continues to be the epicentre of international fashion – the time when the biggest designers present collections that set trends, inspire designers around the world and dictate what we will be wearing in the months to come.

In 2025, the event will reaffirm its strength, with iconic shows, innovative concepts and an increasingly conscious approach, reflecting the industry's commitment to sustainability and innovation.

The big moments of the shows

Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton continue to make their presence felt with haute couture and ready-to-wear collections that combine tradition and modernity.
New talents are emerging in digital and hybrid formats, uniting the physical and the virtual – AR filters, metaverse shows and interactive experiences.

Chanel: A classic show inspired by the banks of the Seine
Virginie Viard took us to a romantic universe with fluid silhouettes, light tweed and lots of white. Delicate gold and pearl jewellery accompanied the looks, reinforcing the idea of ​​sophisticated femininity.

Dior: Elegant feminism and modern cuts
Maria Grazia Chiuri presented a collection inspired by 20th century female figures, with structured fabrics and imposing gold jewellery. Political and empowering messages continued to mark the brand's DNA.

Louis Vuitton: The future of luxury
With Nicolas Ghesquière at the helm, the brand presented a fusion of past and future with structured coats, sparkles, robotic silhouettes and sculptural necklaces that challenge the concept of traditional costume jewellery.

Balmain: Drama and gold
Olivier Rousteing celebrated maximalism with exaggerated shoulders, golden dresses and jewellery inspired by baroque sculptures. A true tribute to refined ostentation.

Trends that are imposing themselves and that are reinforced

Conscious sustainability: recycled fabrics, upcycling, collaboration with environmental protection NGOs. 'Soft' maximalism: dramatic volumes + soft and feminine palettes. Neon and bright colours: hints of vibrant colours, especially in accessories and details.

• Metallic shine: Gold is back in force, whether in fabrics or in XXL jewellery.
• Deconstructed tailoring: Oversized blazers, men's-cut trousers and asymmetrical shirts.
• Body in the spotlight: Sheer fabrics, cut-outs and revealing knits dominated the catwalks.
• Romantic minimalism: Whites, lace and fluid cuts in a return to elegant innocence.
• Impact jewellery: Statement necklaces, asymmetrical earrings and chunky rings - with a focus on modern filigree and the creative use of natural stones.
  
  

Street Style: the spontaneous catwalk

Paris Fashion Week 2025 demonstrated a growing commitment to sustainability. Several brands stood out for their use of recycled fabrics, vegetable leather, natural dyeing and local production. Brands such as Stella McCartney, Chloé and Marine Serre led this ethical revolution. The looks captured on the streets of Paris were a spectacle in themselves. Influencers, journalists and buyers transformed every corner into an extension of the event.
Another highlight was technology: shows with augmented reality, real-time sales via QR codes on invitations and blockchain traceability of exclusive pieces.
Away from the catwalks, Parisian street style is experiencing iconic moments:

• The new “Parisian chic” mixes oversized tailoring, androgynous silhouettes and luxury sneakers.

   

   

• Gold and chains collaborate with jewelry trends – a topic to be explored in more detail, given the connection to goldsmithing.

   

• A mix of vintage and contemporary luxury.

• Gold chains on sportswear.

• Natural hair and light makeup with eye-catching earrings

The impact on Portuguese jewelry

• The return to heritage jewelry (filigree, pieces with meaning).
• The appreciation of handmade items.
• The prominence of yellow gold, present in all luxury collections.
• The fusion between contemporary fashion and artisanal tradition.

The role of influencers and content creators

With an increasingly relevant presence, influencers share outfits, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews live – strengthening the connection between consumers and brands.

Conclusion: Elegance is in the details

What this edition represents for the Portuguese market: adoption of trends, creativity in jewelry, appreciation of handmade items.
Practical ideas: creating pieces inspired by “soft maximalist” cuts, gold chains and metallic textures combined with signature design.

Paris Fashion Week 2025 made it clear that the future of fashion lies in balancing memory and innovation, exuberance and sustainability. For those who live from beauty and the art of creating with their hands, like Portuguese goldsmiths, this is the ideal time to shine.

Parisian elegance inspires us to continue creating jewelry that tells stories, that lasts generations and that affirms who we are with pride and style.
