The Zimmermann Fall/Winter 2025 runway in Paris unfolded like a high-definition reverie — a nostalgic nod to the golden age of boho chic, reimagined with mature restraint and elevated craftsmanship.
Layered fabrics, fluid silhouettes, and intricate embroidery returned with intention, echoing the spirit of the 1970s yet refined through a contemporary lens. Floor-grazing dresses in burnt velvet, voluminous skirts, and silk-fringed tunics painted a picture that felt both familiar and freshly relevant. It was a callback to the early 2010s — but stripped of its youthful excess, grown into itself.

The color palette was rooted in earth: amber, saffron, moss green, and deep chocolate brown gave the collection a grounded sensuality, rich and tactile. Styling was deliberate — wide belts cinched tailored coats, suede boots climbed to the knee, and felt hats with exaggerated brims added a romantic punctuation. These were unmistakably bohemian elements, but the narrative was one of intention, not imitation.
The return of the hippie chic aesthetic — once emblematic of 2011’s free-spirited rebellion — now carries a different weight. In 2025, it speaks of authenticity, of a quieter elegance, of a longing for clothes that feel lived-in rather than broadcasted. Zimmermann captured this shift with poetic precision.

More than a show, this was an emotional composition. A softened rebellion. A manifesto of ease and complexity wrapped into one.
Among the directional notes for the upcoming season: velvet takes the lead, not just as an accent but as a central fabric. Co-ord sets in faded floral prints resurface with newfound elegance. Layering becomes narrative — not a styling trick, but a core structural principle. And above all, artisanal detail takes center stage: lace appliqués, metallic thread embroidery, and hand-finished textures become the language of luxury in a post-minimalist world.
