Fashion is in a state of flux. That was clear at the spring/summer 2025 shows inParis, where brands attempted to chart a path forward, having felt the sting ofChina’s economic slowdown and a prolonged downturn in luxury spendingglobally. Some have also had to contend with transitions in creative direction amidevolving consumer preferences, resulting in less convincing collections.

After viral shows that have included robot dogs and Bella Hadid being spray-painted live in a dress, designers Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant stepped it up once more, stealing the week’s closing spot (normally belonging to Louis Vuitton) with an off-schedule show at Disneyland and a finale by Kylie Jenner, wearing a dark strapless gown. I spotted updates to Coperni’s top-selling Swipe bag, but the dimly lit street lamps made it harder to see some of the looks. Not that editors and influencers, many of whom had a blast going on rollercoaster rides that ran past midnight, seemed to mind.
