VQ’s editorial team select the best ready-to-wear pieces from Spring/Summer 2025 collections
Spring/Summer 2025 unveils a season where designers boldly reimagine the past while shaping the future. Victorian influences resurface as a recurring motif, seamlessly intertwined with the understated refinement of quiet luxury and the rebellious flair of clashcore. The runways were a playground for texture, structure, and innovation, with each piece narrating a unique story.
Golshaah’s sculptural looped flaps evoke a sense of avant-garde movement, all while still remaining in her signature timeless, quiet luxury pocket. Erdem’s intricate golden point d’Alençon lace conjures timeless romance, and DSQUARED2’s sultry fringed halter tops redefine modern sensuality.
VQ’s editorial team has selected six pieces that encapsulate the season’s creative pulse. These standout designs reflect the ethos of Spring/Summer 2025—bold experimentation, intricate craftsmanship, and an unmistakable sense of storytelling.
See the top picks for the season below.
Golshaah
Golshaah is the epitome of seasonless, timelessness and sculptural elegance. It’s quiet luxury with anecdotes of architectural oomph, which will always be a permanent resident in my wardrobe. The meticulous tailoring and subtle avant-garde details turn every piece into a wearable work of art. Their pieces feel like stepping into an exquisite gallery—only this time, I’m the muse!

DSQUARED2
DSQUARED2 makes any entrance sexy, provocative, and effortlessly chic. Their designs are an invitation to stand out without saying a word, and this piece perfectly embodies their bold aesthetic. It boasts a sequined halter-style top entirely made, this pieces embodies that. The fringe that hugs the torso and a sophisticated high neckline is elegance at its finest. It’s the kind of item that commands attention and turns heads without even trying.

Mr. Saturday
Joey Gollish knows his way around combining a streetwear staple with elevated tailoring. This pinstripe bomber jacket showcases this signature combination perfectly. I’m obsessed with almost all the looks in the collection and the inspiration by the Blitz Club in London, England. The crop of the jacket is a modern take on the classic bomber, and the white with black stripes is a soft and versatile addition to any summer wardrobe. You can bring this jacket anywhere and dress it up for those impromptu business meetings or down for those chill days running errands, either way looking refined and being comfortable. It is made in their atelier in Toronto and is meant to make the wearer feel confident and part of a community. This piece will be a staple in my closet next season and for many seasons after that.

Erdem
What a dream! This point d'Alençon is a delicate dance with structure and romance that I need in my wardrobe. I love that the collection was inspired by Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness, speaking to the consistent push and pull of masculine and feminine dressing. This dress pulls on the more feminine aspect of the collection’s storyline with a flirty Victorian-era touch. My most adored details are the multi-patterned green and gold thread details of the soft tulle and lace base— like a ballerina!

Lucian Matis
Lucian Matis’ artistry never fails at creating flattering silhouettes with clean trims that exude authority. The broad, pointed shoulders of this piece remind me of a cobra raising its hood, ready to strike. It gives what could have been a simple black dress the utmost sense of power and potency. The golden scalloped beading outline (snake scales) adds to the air of luxury that has become the storyline of this piece.

Marina Moscone
Moscone showcases her journey into motherhood in a balance of otherworldly mystique and practicality. It's just my style. Central to the collection is intricate detailing, with slight clashcore, using polka dots, satin and sheer. I love how most of the pieces are versatile and thoughtfully crafted with rich character.
