Holiday 2025 arrives with a quiet sense of romance—one shaped by texture, memory, and the art of craftsmanship. Designers lean into the emotional resonance of winter dressing, imagining wardrobes where tradition meets elegance, and where clothing recalls landscapes, stories, and the touch of the hand. The season feels deeply atmospheric, enveloping, and visually rich, inviting a return to pieces that stir nostalgia while creating space for modern expression.
The world of Testoni frames the season with an unmistakably Italian sensibility. Structured handbags in sculptural silhouettes glow with jewel-toned leather and polished hardware, capturing the refined restraint of a gift meant to endure. Their shoes echo this balance of poetry and precision, lifted by fluid lines and unexpected architectural flourishes that glint under soft holiday lights. Testoni’s sculptural Spiral Heel glimmers with the drama of winter light, its form capturing the brand’s celebrated technique. There is a sense of ceremony in these accessories—objects that elevate not just an outfit but the ritual of winter dressing itself.

A different kind of warmth emerges in the universe of Calle Del Mar, where the nostalgia of alpine escapes takes center stage. The brand’s seasonal spirit feels lifted directly from the pages of a Slim Aarons tableau: the glow of snow against wooden chalets, late afternoons spent fireside, evenings punctuated with laughter echoing over ski runs. Knitwear becomes the language of this memory.

The artistic dialogue continues with the newest Fabscarte x deepmoss collaboration, where fashion merges with the ethos of the atelier. Each piece reflects the kind of craftsmanship that feels closer to sculpture or poetry than fabrication. The fluid drape of printed silk, the painterly detail of the motifs, and the movement of the fabric create a sense of narrative—an exploration of nature, memory, and emotion. The capsule stands as a meditation on beauty and the passage of time, offering pieces meant to be collected, cherished, and—most importantly—felt.

Together, these visions shape an evocative portrait of Holiday 2025. The season celebrates the textures of winter: the plushness of knits, the sheen of polished leather, the quiet rhythm of prints inspired by the natural world. It honors the pleasure of choosing pieces that hold presence and intention, that suggest stories behind their construction. Rather than chasing trends, these collections create atmospheres—alpine dreamscapes, Italian ateliers, artistic studios—inviting the wearer into a world where clothing becomes an experience.
This winter, style embraces sentiment. It turns to craftsmanship as a form of luxury and to memory as a source of beauty. And in doing so, it redefines holiday dressing as an intimate act: a way of gathering warmth, celebrating artistry, and stepping into the season with pieces that feel like treasured companions.
