Discovering 2025 spring/summer trends, we intercepted a renewed craving for bright hues and fashion experimentation
New York Fashion Week was definitely an outburst of creativity, innovation and a return to fun in fashion.
As always, we at Maglificio Pini were present both on the runway, with garments and accessories created for the occasion, and in the audience: amid vibrant colors, bold silhouettes and playful materials, we took a closer look at the trends that will dominate next spring/summer season.
Nature and optimism in colors
New York runways showed a color palette inspired by nature, a nod to the feeling of rebirth typical of spring. Among the several shades, Lime Cream, a delicate green, and Déjà Vu Blue, a jewel blue, caught our eye for their ability to give brightness and depth to outfits.
Warmer and more vibrant hues didn’t go amiss as well, such as Misted Marigold, an energetic yellow, and Crocus, a pink and purple shade that conveys vitality, with the prospect of a bright summer full of optimism.
Creative overlaps and floating silhouettes
Alongside the intense colors, the shapes and silhouettes were bold and innovative, able to play with volumes, overlaps and fluidity. Among the different offers, Khaite aimed for transparencies and overlaps, while Grace Ling’s focus was on light and ethereal dresses.
Moreover, the emphasis on details couldn’t go unnoticed: for instance, designers explored new interpretations of classical fringes, as was the case with Monse and Area, revisited in buttercup yellow and silver on dresses and accessories.
A world of textures and handcrafted details
The real magic of this edition, however, swirled from the innovative use of materials. Playful and rich textures owned the runways, with floating feathers and three-dimensional crochet as protagonists. Palomo Spain brought a frisky and creative vibe, while Brandon Maxwell embellished his silhouettes with texturized details: daring becomes a game, and fashion a tool to stand out.
Carolina Herrera, Khaite e Brandon Maxwell’s ideas
And now, a closer look at the creations of specifically three brands.
In Wall Street’s setting, Carolina Herrera showed a collection steeped in references to the past through bustiers, wide skirts and floral patterns. The predominant tones? Black and white, with a few touches of yellow, red and pink. For her part, Khaite delved into transparencies and exaggerated volumes, going so far as to show astonishing cloud effects and playing with layering without failing at lightness.
Last but not least, Brandon Maxwell amazed with his simple elegance and wearability, in the name of femininity all to celebrate. For the brand, Maglificio Pini produced not only garments, but also key accessories to reach the perfect look, between glowing textures and contrasting leather details.
