Pierre-Louis Mascia’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection at Milan Fashion Week is a vibrant mix of bold prints, eclectic textures, and colorful patterns that instantly grabs attention. Known for his bohemian approach to modern tailoring, Mascia mix different cultures and styles to create something truly unique. The collection is all about making a statement—think clashing prints like florals, Art Deco shapes, and ikat patterns, all coming together.

The collection’s focal point is its daring use of clashing prints—Baroque florals, Art Deco geometrics, and ikat patterns all make an appearance, rendered in vivid hues. The juxtaposition of these patterns, often combined in a single look, gives a sense of playful chaos, yet each outfit feels harmoniously curated. Key pieces like red military jackets, leopard-print pants, and velvet pajama sets make a statement, while flowing dresses and silk-lined coats add an air of sophistication. Mascia’s innovative textile work shines through the introduction of 20 original prints, crafted using a blend of analog and digital techniques, offering a refreshing take on traditional fabric design.

The silhouettes are fluid and layered, with long coats and trompe l’oeil denim blazers adding depth and texture to the looks. Rich materials, such as velvet and silk adds a luxurious and comfortable, aesthetic. The designer's deep dive into historical and artistic references—from Victorian opulence to Keatsian notions of beauty and melancholy—made the collection filled with emotions.

While this collection definitely embraces a maximalist aesthetic, it might be a bit much for some people, especially in markets like the Philippines. But the good news is that you don’t have to wear the full look—there are plenty of standout pieces that can be styled more casually.
