Powder pink, baby pink or fuchsia? Spring/Summer 25 rediscovers the nuances of femininity
No longer relegated to the clichés of “girly” or confined to children's wardrobes, pink — from baby to powder, to saturated fuchsia — is trendy and asserting itself with a new awareness
Of all the colours that could emerge as the season’s defining hue, pink might seem like an all-too-obvious, even predictable, choice. Yet, in the Spring/Summer 2025 landscape, this hue moves beyond a simple romantic reference and into a statement of style. Fluid and multidimensional.
Dusty Pink: the shade of discreet luxury
It is a shade designed for modern tailoring, capable of moving naturally between day and evening, casual and formal. In a word? Sophisticated. If Victoria Beckham sculpts the fabric into an architectural, refined and modern drape, Carven opts for ethereal lightness with impalpable transparencies. Ferragamo plays with asymmetry and bold elegance, while Akris plays with transparency, proposing an ethereal organza suit , where the deconstructed jacket and fluid trousers create an impalpable movement.
Dusty pink becomes a chameleon: opulent, architectural, sensual and subversive. Olivier Rousteing for Balmain offers a bold reflection on femininity, with a trompe-l'œil dress that challenges the perception of the body. The fabric, sculpted like a second skin, fuses craftsmanship and provocation in a dusty pink dress. Alaïa instead creates a sculptural look where fullness and emptiness are masterfully weighed. Del Core opts for minimalist precision with a pink vinyl sheath dress that wraps the body like a second skin, while Miu Miu brings a shiny jacket paired with a utility skirt to the catwalk.
Baby Pink: The Subtlety of Power
If powder pink is the symbol of intellectual minimalism , baby pink is its romantic and sophisticated alter ego. But be careful: let's not be fooled by its chromatic delicacy . Historically linked to a soft and reassuring aesthetic, today it is establishing itself as one of the key trends of the spring summer 2025 season. More than just a color, it is a true style statement , a visual language that communicates demure elegance . If millennial pink dominated the past, this new shade suggests a more mature and conscious evolution: more impactful, perfect for modern classic looks.
Simone Rocha transforms delicacy into rebellion , with a pink tulle dress , subversive in its play of transparencies and romantic ruches, a perfect balance between gothic femininity and ethereal tailoring. JW Anderson opts for a sequined minidress , with a minimal cut and a futuristic soul, a hymn to conceptual modernity that shuns the superfluous. Giambattista Valli touches on couture sculpture with a fluid drape, transforming baby pink into a manifesto of statuesque grace and neoclassical drama. Giorgio Armani , finally, blends tailoring and lightness, with a structured bustier that dissolves into an evanescent skirt, a perfect exercise in minimalist sophistication.
If Vivienne Westwood proposes a wraparound knit dress, marked by drapes that skim the body with casual elegance, Alaïa sculpts sensuality with an ethereal dress, where the pleats are interrupted in a play of cut-outs, between structure and fluidity. Erdem explores the power of tailoring with a double-breasted suit in a shade between powder and classic pink. Finally, Brandon Maxwell contrasts the rigor of the white shirt with the softness of a midi skirt embellished with crystals, for a femininity that is both strong and delicate.
Fuchsia: the uncompromising boldness of saturated pink
And then there is fuchsia. A colour that leaves no room for indecision, a vibrant shade that exudes confidence with an almost brazen audacity. For spring summer 2025 , however, it is not just about total looks — as Alexander McQueen and Bottega Veneta demonstrate — but strategic accents, chromatic interruptions that subvert expectations. Prada uses it masterfully, making it emerge under a jacket cream-colored, a detail of stylistic rebellion in a sophisticated silhouette. Vetements , on the other hand, amplifies its provocative charge, transforming a velvet minidress into a manifesto of subversive fashion , between sensuality and statement piece.
Prada redefines everyday elegance with a trench coat that is rigorous in shape but light in spirit, a perfect balance between minimalism and sartorial pragmatism . Carolina Herrera exalts the new romanticism , with a fit & flare dress in bright fuchsia, jewel button details and a bow at the waist, a tribute to couture femininity. Erdem reworks vintage glamour , transforming pink into a theatrical vision of shiny silk and asymmetrical drapes . Finally, Dries Van Noten infuses artistic energy into a fluid tie-dye print skirt, mixing textures and chromatic contrasts in a narrative of bohemian luxury.
