In the constantly evolving landscape of fashion, certain collections protrude for their visionary appeal and timeless approach. Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection aptly called “Future Vintage”, is an indication to such innovation.

His vision for this collection revolves around the idea of ‘passing down the generations’. He curates this intent, stating, ‘At the beginning of this collection, we decided we were going to make clothes not just for our clients, but for their daughters and granddaughters. Future Vintage, I’m calling it.’ This intent is meticulously manufactured in the garments , ensuring they go beyond seasonal trends and remain cherished for generations to come.
