Tennis courts, tailoring and pole dancers: Paris fashion week the key autumn/winter 2025 collections — in pictures

Comme des Garçons

Rei Kawakubo dominates the fashion world with her masterful skill and craftsmanship, pushing the boundaries of fashion as an art form. This season masculine fabrics, such as navy pinstripe, were transformed into strong, powerful garments that have the ability to express femininity. Kawakubo’s voluminous and abstract silhouettes had a sculptural form, from houndstooth, Prince-of-Wales check, and gray flannel. Each had been stiffened, manipulated and intertwined to create exquisite sculpted looks. The appreciation came at the end by way of a standing ovation.
