What Paris Fashion Week Taught Us About Fashion

Paris Fashion Week just wrapped up its October 2025 shows, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that fashion is more than glittery gowns and front-row selfies.

From Dior’s big shake-up to Hailey Bieber’s sporty-luxe shorts, the runways and sidewalks of Paris dropped some serious style wisdom.

Here’s what we took home – no invite required.

1. Reinvention is Everything

Jonathan Anderson’s Dior debut opened with a sculptural hoop skirt dress that looked like a fairytale gone futuristic.

Lesson? Don’t be afraid to remix your old favourites.

That blazer in your closet? Try it over a slip dress.

That white tee? Layer it under something unexpected.

If Dior can reinvent, so can you.

2. Neutrals Don’t Mean Boring

Balmain swapped glitz for earth – think clay, sand, olive, soil tones.

Turns out, beige isn’t bland if you wear it with confidence.

Pair camel trousers with chunky gold hoops, or an olive top with denim.

Sometimes the quietest shades shout the loudest.

3. Play With Joy

From bubble hems and lace minis at Dior to Peggy Gou rocking raspberry with orange in the front row.

Fashion should be fun.

Wear that polka-dot skirt with sneakers, clash colours that make you smile, and remember, the best outfits feel like a party.

4. Ease Meets Elegance

Tom Ford’s runway under Haider Ackermann gave us fluid silhouettes and clever cut-outs that moved with the body.

The takeaway? Comfort and sensuality can coexist.

5. The Best Trend is Being Yourself

Hailey Bieber went sporty-preppy with silky micro shorts – proving that even the simplest pieces can own the spotlight when styled with confidence.

Moral of the story: wear what feels like you.

Trends fade, authenticity doesn’t.
