Structural Subversion

Spring 2025 Fashion Trend

What’s inside out, upside down, and all over the Spring 2025 runways? Intentional imperfections. Paris designers leaned into deconstruction with a surrealist twist, turning fashion on its head—literally. Vetements and Ottolinger played with misplaced necklines, Acne and Paloma Wool flipped tops upside down, and Hermés and Uma Wang reimagined jackets with side or back fastenings. These playful distortions made a statement that fashion’s so-called flaws can be just as deliberate as its details.
