Schiaparelli Fall 2025: Shadows, Textures, and Sensory Worlds

A Personal Interpretation

There are few things I adore more than fashion…especially for the sake of it.
Critically Yours will now become partially dedicated to runway critiques, a way to share more of my own personal style with you.

“I was inspired to create a wardrobe that would speak to the contradictions inherent in women’s lives: How could I give them something that both riffs on masculine archetypes… while at the same time allowing them to embrace the feminine divine?”
Daniel Roseberry

If, like me, you find yourself waking up in the odd hours of the evening to watch runway shows, then I’m sure you’ve experienced that thrilling drop of excitement when a breathtaking show flickers into focus. And, oh, was this runway a true romance of vision and creativity.

Now, I’ll admit that I’ve never quite resonated with anything Texan, however there was something unexpectedly magnetic about the touch of cowboy in this collection. It’s quite unique, chic, like power simmering under the surface. I wanted to reach out and touch each piece as they sauntered down the runway, to feel the fabrics, to turn the golden accessories in my hands and savor the cool, smooth sensation against the inside of my palm.

Below, I’ve curated a collection of my favorite details from the show, each one annotated, paired with sensory elements, however, mainly just a stream of thought as I gazed at my five most-favorite looks. I hope they transport you, if only for a few minutes.

Presenting, my absolute favorites from Schiaparelli F/W RTW ‘25!
