Top 10 Standout Spring 2025 Men's Fashion Shows

As the major brands did their dance of evolving house codes and runway spectacles, the thrilling spectrum of upcoming and independent brands that call Milan and Paris home continued to draw on diverse perspectives and push fashion forward just beneath the surface. Encompassing both a punk spirit of liberated expression and sophisticated savoir-faire, the shows that made our Top 10 Standout list offer a glimpse at the present and future state of fashion’s forward thinkers.

Fresh off her win of this year’s BFC/GQ Designer Fashion Fund, Bianca Saunders continued to build momentum with a collection that spun references to her Caribbean roots into vibrant new expressions of contemporary masculine identity.

Parisian cult-favorite Lemaire continued to leverage a beautiful skill for transforming classic garment categories through volume and layering, including some unique riffs on this season’s trending boiler suits.

Another brand with an incredibly distinct and instantly recognizable design language, Kolor evolved its signature practice of hybridity, innovative construction, and material juxtaposition with a powerful combination of liberated imagination and masterful technique.

But it is Milan’s Magliano that takes home the season’s number one spot in the Standout category. The young brand led by designer Luca Magliano continues to dazzle with its enigmatic ability to warp the familiar into complexly cool, subversive, and utterly independent fashion expressions.

Here are The Impression’s picks for the Top 10 Standout runway shows from Spring 2025 Menswear season as selected by our editor-in-chief, Kenneth Richard.
