Day 4 saw multiple Paris-based brands showing their spring/summer 2025 collections, including Chemena Kamali-led Chloé, the otherworldly Rick Owens and Daniel Roseberry’s youthful take at Schiaparelli

Chloé, Rick Owens and Schiaparelli – three of the hottest tickets during Paris Fashion Week – were among the brands that showed their spring/summer 2025 collections on day four. Alongside them was Australian Christopher Esber, the winner of this year’s Andam Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in fashion.

Here are three highlights from the busy day, which ended with a glamorous show from jewellery label Messika.

Much has been said about the return of boho chic that Chloé’s recently appointed creative director Chemena Kamali single-handedly triggered with a blockbuster show for the Parisian label last season.

Her spring/summer 2025 show was another breath of fresh air and reprised some of the tropes of her Chloé – voluminous sheer dresses, her beloved bell bottoms, peasant blouses, lace and crocheted separates, lingerie accents – all things that make girls look great without trying too hard. Now that Kamali has firmly established a strong identity for the Richemont-owned brand, her task is to turn that vision into commercial success.

Accessories will play a key role in that respect. Chloé has long relied on leather goods, especially bags, for the bulk of its sales. This season, shell motifs adorned everything from handbags to shoes and jewellery, evoking the “longing for summer” that Kamali mentioned in the show notes.

While customers will be the ultimate judges – Kamali’s first collection for the label has just hit stores – she clearly knows what she’s doing, which bodes well for a house that is in major need of a creative and commercial boost.

After a day of incessant rain, the sun came out for Rick Owens, the Paris-based American designer who, like in seasons past, held his show just before sunset in the courtyard of the Palais de Tokyo. While six caped women threw white petals from the rooftop of the imposing building, the otherworldly beings that Owens conjured up for the show mesmerised the crowd.
