I know that we say this every 12 months, and forgive us for sounding like a broken record, but 2025 was truly a wild ride in fashion. Yes, every year has its smattering of fierce moments, but as society continues to crumble from the inside, the fashion industry follows suit \u2013 and what is fashion but a reflection of culture, writ large? With that in mind, 2025 seems to be suggesting that straight men are back from the brink, none of us can keep a job down, and BDSM has never been better. For all those wild moments and more, see the complete list below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fashion didn\u2019t wait around to get wild in 2025. Kicking things off rather quickly in January were <\/span>JordanLuca<\/span><\/a> designers Jordan Bowen and Luca Marchetto, who actually got married on the Milan Fashion Week catwalk. After their AW25 collection whizzed down the runway, the pair emerged next to some chintzy pink drapes to get married in front of their friends, family and fashion\u2019s press. Not a dry eye in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

In February, at <\/span>LUEDER<\/span><\/a>\u2019s Berlin Fashion Week show, the German label sent a model down the runway wearing a \u2018Men are so BACK\u2019 tank top \u2013 and a viral garment was born. Backstage at the show, designer <\/span>Marie Lueder<\/span><\/a> joked that she \u201cknew [she] would get cancelled for this\u201d, and lo and behold, the moment spawned lots of discourse, even though it\u2019s clearly a satirical statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When <\/span>Kendrick Lamar<\/span><\/a> played the Super Bowl halftime show in early February, there was a lot to take in fashion-wise: the custom <\/span>Martine Rose<\/span><\/a> jacket, the Nike Air DTs, the $68,000 diamond brooch. Despite those, everyone\u2019s attention was down below, as Kenny swished across the stage in a pair of <\/span>Celine<\/span><\/a> women\u2019s bootcut jeans. \u201cCan\u2019t believe Kendrick did all that in the most Hannah Montana lookin bootcut jeans I\u2019ve seen in years,\u201d <\/span>wrote<\/span><\/a> @gingahninjaa on X.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In fashion, we seem to celebrate some anniversary or another practically every week, so when <\/span>Dsquared2<\/span><\/a>\u2019s 30th came around, Dan and Dean Caten made sure it was <\/span>actually<\/span><\/em> wild. The twins\u2019 AW25 <\/span>Obsessed2<\/span><\/em> show included but was not limited to: <\/span>Doechii<\/span><\/a> exploding out of an armoured tank to open the catwalk; Irina Shayk in a giant fur trapper; Tyson Beckford\u2019s runway return; leather daddies, sexy cowboys and a new <\/span>Vaquera<\/span><\/a> collab; a motorcycle, rollerskating and <\/span>Amelia Gray<\/span><\/a> dressed as Cher; plus Dan and Dean getting arrested by cop Brigitte Nielsen <\/span>AND<\/span><\/em> a closing performance from Doechii and JT. Hats off to you, boys.<\/span><\/p>\n

DEMNA\u2019S DEFECTION<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

Of all the creative director appointments in the last couple of years \u2013 and there have been <\/span>a lot<\/span><\/em> \u2013 none was more shocking than <\/span>Demna<\/span><\/a>\u2019s sudden move from <\/span>Balenciaga<\/span><\/a> to Kering stablemate <\/span>Gucci<\/span><\/a>. Rumours of who might be succeeding <\/span>Sabato De Sarno<\/span><\/a> had swirled for months, but Kering\u2019s simultaneous announcement of Demna\u2019s departure and defection took the fashion world by complete surprise, as the Georgian\u2019s name had barely been mentioned as a possibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, by March, creative director manoeuvres weren\u2019t anything new, but this particular one hit differently. After 27 years at the helm of the family firm, <\/span>Donatella Versace<\/span><\/a> announced she would no longer be creative director of <\/span>Versace<\/span><\/a>, instead transitioning to a brand ambassador role. Despite the rumours that preceded it, the announcement still gagged everyone \u2013 Donatella had been a fashion fixture for decades, and it was difficult to imagine a Versace without her at the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

It might be post-Vexit, but Versace\u2019s wild year wasn\u2019t over yet. In April, the long-rumoured <\/span>Prada<\/span><\/a> takeover was officially underway, with the Prada Group buying Versace for a cool \u00a31.04bn. Lighting up the fashion sphere with chatter, many wondered what the brand\u2019s high-octane glamour might look like under <\/span>Mrs Prada<\/span><\/a>\u2019s more conceptual roof, while others guessed this could be the start of an Italian conglomerate to rival LVMH. But despite the huge news, the Versace drama still wasn\u2019t over\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

THE LABUBU PANDEMIC<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By late spring, we\u2019d strayed so far from God\u2019s light that the Labubu \u2013 a collectable toy on a keyring \u2013 had become a genuine fashion item, the final boss of taste by algorithm. After the <\/span>bag charm craze of 2024<\/span><\/a>, Labubus were almost perfectly primed to take over our feeds, despite being around since 2019. The less said about these ugly little freaks the better, but you can\u2019t deny their enduring influence this year, loved by everyone from <\/span>Rihanna<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Dua Lipa<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>Marc Jacobs<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Cher<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHATEVER WAS WRONG WITH ALEXANDER SKARSG\u00c5RD<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Or maybe that should be, whatever was <\/span>right<\/span><\/em> with Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd? Either way, when compiling this annual list, we\u2019re often forced to use the word \u201cwild\u201d in the loosest sense humanly imaginable \u2013 but when it came to Mr Skarsg\u00e5rd, things got downright <\/span>freaky. A halterneck shirt and tie with a leather pup accessory? Check. <\/span>Saint Laurent<\/span><\/a>\u2019s thigh-skimming, black leather kinky boots? Yep. Dressed as a naughty little school boy on breakfast TV? Of course! Though <\/span>Skarsg\u00e5rd isn\u2019t new<\/span><\/a> to a freaky fashion moment, this year the Swedish actor and stylist Harry Lambert took things to perverse new heights on the Pillion<\/em> press tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

JONATHAN BAILEY LETS THE DOGS OUT<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking of perverts, in June British actor Jonathan Bailey attended a London photocall for his movie <\/span>Jurassic World: Rebirth<\/span><\/em>, but was swiftly upstaged by his own feet. Wearing The Row\u2019s \u00a3730 Dune sandals on his naked dogs, the moment quickly went viral, sparking discourse about toe etiquette on the red carpet, and ensuring the flip-flops would eventually become <\/span>the hottest fashion item in the world<\/span><\/a>. Put your feet up hen, you\u2019ve done well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When <\/span>The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/span><\/em> began filming at the end of June, New York paparazzi ensured we all received a drip feed of pics from the very public sets. Because of this, every fashion publication in the world (including us) published them, causing the general public to bemoan that the movie had already been spoiled. Sorry guys! Thanks to all those annoying magazines (again, sorry about that), we already know about the film\u2019s <\/span>fake Met Gala<\/span><\/a>, Emily Blunt\u2019s bleach blonde makeover, a mysterious funeral, plus a long list of fashion cameos. Rest assured, we\u2019ll still be seated.<\/span><\/p>\n

SEEING VOUBLE<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

At the risk of Versace pun overkill, this year\u2019s Venice Film Festival had us seeing vouble when new creative director <\/span>Dario Vitale<\/span><\/a> unveiled his first vision for the house on Julia Roberts. The actor\u2019s mom jeans and oversized blazer were a bit of a red herring for the debut he would eventually present, but things got even weirder when Amanda Seyfried \u2013 who shares a stylist with Roberts \u2013 wore the exact same outfit in Venice two days later. Cue an internet meltdown, days of headlines and a successful opening gambit from Vitale.<\/span><\/p>\n

DISRUPTIVE DEBUTS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

\n

SS26 was undoubtedly the season of the designer debut<\/a>, making for one of the most talked-about fashion months in recent memory. Jonathan Anderson dropped his <\/span>first Dior womenswear collection<\/span><\/a>, Matthieu Blazy took us to outer space <\/span>at Chanel<\/span><\/a>, while Louise Trotter <\/span>triumphed at Bottega<\/span><\/a>. Elsewhere, some debuts proved a lot more disruptive than others \u2013 Duran Lantink\u2019s <\/span>controversial take on JPG<\/span><\/a> gave models illusion genitalia, Glenn Martens pried mouths <\/span>open with Margiela grills<\/span><\/a>, while Miguel Castro Freitas <\/span>hung a dress from some nipples<\/span><\/a> at Mugler.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Remember that Versace drama we talked about earlier? It was back at the beginning of December when the label unceremoniously axed Vitale from his creative director role. The confounding news came as a shock, mostly due to the length of his tenure \u2013 just eight months \u2013 and the fact that his one and only collection was seen as a success. While we may never know what went on behind the scenes, only time will tell what else Mrs P has up her sleeve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing out the year of wild fashion moments is, of course, the viral jacket promoting A24\u2019s upcoming movie <\/span>Marty Supreme<\/span><\/em>. After celebrity sightings on <\/span>Frank Ocean<\/span><\/a>, Kid Cudi, the Jenners and Bill Nye, streetwear label Nahmias revealed its capsule collection with the film, and the jacket became the most coveted item of the year. Resellers are flogging them for thousands online, while pop-ups in LA, New York and London have attracted a police presence to control the crowds. The power of Timoth\u00e9e<\/a> lives on.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
