At Milan Fashion Week, Stuart Weitzman made a bold statement with its FW25 collection, “Pretty Gritty”, a celebration of modern femininity, resilience, and effortless sophistication. Hosted at the Sala Fontana at the Museo Del Novecento with breathtaking Duomo view, the presentation masterfully blended industrial aesthetics with lush floral elements, symbolizing the duality of strength and grace embodied by the contemporary woman.
A Collection Designed for Every Facet of the Modern Woman
The FW25 lineup showcases Stuart Weitzman’s signature fusion of style, comfort, and versatility, offering a range of powerful silhouettes for work, leisure, and evening elegance. This season’s standout pieces introduce bold, angular heels, modern block-heel designs, and rugged-chic lug soles, all presented in a rich palette of dusty berry, boysenberry, walnut, saddle, and icy mauve.
- The Vinnie Collection reinvents power dressing, featuring sculptural pumps, sleek knee-high boots, and sock booties inspired by the brand’s legendary 5050 silhouette.
- The Hudson Collection embraces rugged luxury, introducing lug-sole chukka boots, lace-up booties, and Chelsea boots designed for off-duty sophistication.
- The Babette Collection refines block-heel footwear, incorporating smooth curves and round toes into Mary Janes, boots, and booties ideal for city life.
- The 5050 Collection elevates an icon with the introduction of the 5050 Gisele Boot, crafted with a stretch-infused suede back shaft for an ultra-seamless look.
Luxury Accessories & Swarovski Sparkle
Expanding beyond footwear, Stuart Weitzman also unveiled new iterations of the Mia bag, available in mini and shoulder variations, with a versatile drawstring design that allows it to transition from a tote to a clutch or crossbody bag.
Adding to the glamour of the showcase, the brand introduced a limited-edition capsule in collaboration with Swarovski. Featuring crystal-encrusted Stuart pumps and Nudist sandals, this dazzling collection pays homage to Stuart Weitzman’s legacy in red-carpet dressing, bringing high-shine elegance to modern footwear.
A Presentation That Blends Industrial Edge with Feminine Energy
The setting of the Sala Fontana at the Museo Del Novecento provided the perfect backdrop for the “Pretty Gritty” collection, reinforcing its message of contrast and empowerment. Designed by Giuseppe Porcelli, the raw industrial space was softened by lush greenery and floral installations, mirroring the collection’s interplay of boldness and delicacy.
