Seasonal fashion trends in New York and Paris

Recent fashion weeks in New York and Paris have introduced significant shifts in seasonal styling. In New York, menswear is moving toward a relaxed yet structured aesthetic, featuring ‘nip-tuck’ tailoring with wide-leg trousers and cinched jackets, alongside high-end technical outerwear layered over formal attire.

In Paris, the focus has shifted toward complex layering. Collections from brands such as Prada, Rabanne, Stella McCartney, and Chloe emphasize elaborate ensembles where styling takes precedence over individual garments. This trend includes the use of multiple layers, transparent skirts, and double-effect shirts to create multi-dimensional looks.

As the autumn season progresses, industry experts are highlighting the ‘third piece rule’—a strategy of adding items like blazers, vests, or kimonos to basic outfits to increase visual dimension. This emphasis on layering is further reflected in Miuccia Prada’s ‘matryoshka-style’ collections. Footwear trends for the season have also emerged, including Western styles, slouchy silhouettes, and over-the-knee boots.

In the retail sector, El Corte Inglés has launched a new seasonal campaign featuring model Adriana Lima and has become an official sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, concluding its campaign with an event at the Museo Reina Sofía.
