The Men’s Fashion Week calendar kicked off with Milan Fashion Week on 17 January, segueing into Paris Fashion Week on 21 January and officially wrapping on Sunday. The autumn/winter 2025 season saw a collaboration between Pharrell and Nigo at Louis Vuitton, as well as Qasimi’s Milan Fashion Week debut and the first-ever womenswear presentation for Amiri. Here, MOJEH recaps the highlights from Men’s Fashion Week.
Qasimi
The London-based, Middle East-born label made its Milan Fashion Week debut on this year’s runway, collaborating with Māori artist Emily Karaka to bring storytelling to the forefront. Embroidery, prints and transformative silhouettes reflect messages of resilience in the face of displacement and act as an acknowledgement of the strife of indigenous groups around the world; frayed edges represent the blurred lines of land disputes and crochet brooches replicate outlines of geographical locations.
Prada
An interpretation of romance, passion and humanity, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ menswear collection is an ode to emotion over rationality. Seemingly haphazard combinations - both of shape and colour - relate to an impulsive, emotion-led approach to dressing, and lashings of leather and shearling potentially make reference to basic instincts (or, rather, primitive ensembles) of man.
Dolce & Gabbana
Kicking off Milan Fashion Week was none other than Dolce & Gabbana, whose Paparazzi-themed runway made way for a picture-perfect collection. Opulence was strewn throughout with outerwear of sequins and (faux) fur, while sharp tailoring and leopard print grounded the pieces in House codes.
Dior
“An encounter of extravagance and simplicity, of yesterday and today,” read the show notes for Kim Jones’ latest Dior menswear presentation. Minimal yet undeniably impactful, the monochrome collection allows silhouettes to speak in place of colour. A showcase of the power of fundamentals, the collection incorporates archival techniques - namely the H-Line from the AW1955 collection - across blouses, coats and suiting. Ever the over-achiever, Jones also debuted 10 couture looks during the show, much to the delight of Robert Pattinson, Kate Moss, Joe Alwyn and Keiran Culkin, who were nestled on the FROW.
Hermès
Inspired by the House’s equestrian roots and apt for a rainy afternoon in Paris, Hermès’ menswear collection was dominated by a moody colour palette and thick knits that emphasised comfort and functionality - sleek suiting and leather trenchcoats counteract the cosiness and offered rare pops of colour. The collection, designed by Véronique Nichanian, invites wearers “to dress with the feeling of being welcomed.”
Louis Vuitton
Pharrell teamed-up with long-time collaborator Nigo for a streetwear-ified celebration of Louis Vuitton’s archive. Drenched in pinks and lighthearted hues, the collection infused codes from collections’ past with Williams’ signature skater aesthetic for a casual yet elevated collection that champions subculture. Accessories continue to be the most talked-about element at a Louis Vuitton menswear show, with new takes on trunks, lobster-shaped bags and the reveal of the ButterSoft sneaker.
Pharrell and Nigo took attendees back in time through both their personal archives and those of the House with light-up display cases in the centre of the runway filled with N.E.R.D merchandise, Billionaire Boys Club jackets, early sneaker collaborations and pieces by Kim Jones and the late Virgil Abloh.
Amiri
Why blend in when you can stand out? Amiri staged its first-ever womenswear presentation during Men’s Fashion Week, presenting a collection that is inspired by Hollywood’s cinematic glamour and reflects the strength and confidence of the Amiri woman. Strong tailoring - think ties, co-ords and tuxedos - took centre stage and mirrored the art-deco allure of the menswear offering.
