The fashion calendar is admittedly a little wonky. Like the Gregorian calendar, you have spring and fall. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, summer and winter aren't included. Even though some brands technically call their collections spring/summer and fall/winter. Instead, we're given resort and pre-fall. When it comes to resort season, many fashion houses opt for full-scale runway productions. That's not really the case for pre-fall. (Save Chanel and its Métiers d'art, which took place in Hangzhou, China this year.) Although just because the precursor to fall tends to be flaunted in lookbook format doesn't mean the clothes are any less covetable. In fact, the best Pre-Fall 2025 collections contain some of the most striking looks of not only the season, but the whole year.
