Let’s take a closer look at the standout moments shaping the future of cold-weather fashion.
Moncler Fall 2025 at Paris Fashion Week
Moncler’s Fall 2025 show was set against the dramatic backdrop of Courchevel Altiport, a cliffside alpine airport. As snow fell steadily—growing heavier with each passing moment—the runway transformed into a true winter wonderland. The collection embraced Moncler’s signature fusion of performance and luxury, featuring shaggy shearling cowhide-pattern coats and expertly patched shearling aviator jackets. With its bold textures and alpine aesthetic, the show captured the essence of high-altitude elegance.
Balmain Fall 2025 at Paris Fashion Week
Balmain’s Fall 2025 collection was a masterful play on contrasts, seamlessly blending cocooning shapes with fierce leather. On the runway, vibrant hues amplified the tactile allure of shearling, creating a striking juxtaposition against timeless shades of gray. The collection proved that shearling can be both cozy and undeniably fierce.
Gabriela Hearst Fall 2025 at Paris Fashion Week
Gabriela Hearst’s Fall 2025 collection was a fusion of history and craftsmanship. Inspired by archaeologist Marija Gimbutas and her work on The Language of the Goddess, Hearst translated ancient cave markings into modern design, spray-painting these symbols onto shearling for an artistic effect. The collection’s commitment to luxury extended to its use of snakeskin, sourced from Inversa—a Florida-based company that sources python skin from invasive Burmese snakes in the Everglades.
