8 summer colours that will dominate store shelves in 2025
The spring/summer 2025 runways painted a vivid picture of the season's mood through an unexpectedly soothing yet vibrant colour palette. Gone are the harsh neons of seasons past – 2025 welcomes a sophisticated spectrum of wearable hues that range from creamy neutrals to zesty brights. Here are the seven key colours that will define summer 2025 fashion, each bringing its own unique charm to your seasonal wardrobe. Butter Yellow This pale, creamy yellow has emerged as the season's most versatile neutral, replacing traditional beige in designers' collections. Seen everywhere from Chanel's elegant suits to Zimmermann's flowing dresses, butter yellow works equally well for daytime tailoring and evening gowns. Its soft golden undertones make it flattering across skin tones, while its neutral quality allows for easy pairing with everything from white denim to chocolate brown separates. Mocha Mousse Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025 makes a strong case for brown as the new black. Designers like Max Mara and Prada showcased the depth and sophistication of chocolate brown in luxurious linen dresses, tailored coats, and buttery leather accessories. This shade brings warmth to summer dressing while maintaining an urban edge, perfect for everything from office wear to weekend outfits when paired with lighter neutrals or bright citrus tones. Ballet Pink Moving away from the bold pinks of previous seasons, 2025 introduces a more delicate, romantic pink reminiscent of ballet slippers and rose petals. Alaïa and Miu Miu demonstrated how this whisper-soft hue can look modern and sophisticated rather than saccharine. The key is in its subtle blue undertones that keep it from feeling too sweet, making it ideal for everything from tailored suiting to ethereal eveningwear. Aperol Orange For those who crave color, designers offered the perfect solution in this juicy, cocktail-inspired orange. Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton showed how this vibrant shade can feel both playful and polished. Unlike previous seasons' neon oranges, this version has a slightly muted quality that makes it more wearable, especially when balanced with neutral tones like beige or white. It's the ultimate hue for making a statement while still feeling appropriate for daytime. Icy Blue Blue takes on a frosty, ethereal quality for summer 2025. Chloé and Prabal Gurung used this pale, icy tone to create looks that felt both fresh and sophisticated. The color works particularly well in the season's light-as-air fabrics, from sheer overlays to flowing silk dresses. Its cool undertones make it a perfect choice for hot summer days, offering a visual cooling effect that's both stylish and practical. Spring Green Green appeared across the spectrum on runways, but the standout was this bright, lively spring green at Valentino and Victoria Beckham. Neither too minty nor too olive, this perfect middle-ground green brings energy to any outfit without overwhelming. It's particularly striking in structured pieces like blazers and midi skirts, where its vibrancy can really shine against more neutral backgrounds. Sea Foam Erdem and other designers proposed this soft greenish-blue as a surprising neutral alternative. More interesting than standard beige but just as versatile, sea foam works beautifully with all the other colors in the 2025 palette. It's especially flattering in the season's flowing silhouettes and textured fabrics, adding depth and interest while maintaining an overall softness. Misty Lilac A surprise standout in the 2025 palette, misty lilac brings a soft, romantic touch to summer dressing. Designers like Valentino and Dior showcased this delicate purple-gray hybrid in flowing chiffon dresses and tailored separates, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional pastels. With its muted, dusky undertones, this versatile shade pairs beautifully with butter yellow for a soft contrast or with chocolate brown for unexpected depth. Unlike brighter purples, misty lilac maintains a subtle, almost neutral quality that makes it surprisingly wearable for day and night. The summer 2025 color palette offers something for every taste, from those who prefer subtle sophistication to those who love bold statements. What makes this season particularly exciting is how these colors work together – imagine butter yellow with ballet pink, or mocha mousse with aperol orange. The combinations are endless, and all promise to capture the season's optimistic yet relaxed mood perfectly. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied Feature Image: Pinterest

A Decade at the (New) Whitney: Art and Glamour Converge on the West Side
Michelle Monaghan, Maria Giulia Maramotti Tiffany Sage/ It was art imitating life—and life, of course, dressed in designer—as guests ascended the Whitney Museum for its annual Gala, held atop Manhattan's shimmering West Side. The evening marked more than just a celebration of the institution's 10-year anniversary in the Renzo Piano–designed building: it was a reunion of artists, collectors, patrons, and power-dressers who've long championed the museum's bold, contemporary vision. As twilight fell over the Hudson, so too did a stylish spell over the proceedings. There were thought-provoking speeches from the honorees—chairman Richard M. DeMartini, artist Amy Sherald, and legendary curator Barbara Haskell. An array of notables—Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Laura Harrier, Andie MacDowell, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Kathy Hilton, Claire Danes, and more—artfully intermingled in the museum's grandiose halls. But perhaps one of the real forces that brought the museum to life was the anniversary edition of Max Mara's Whitney bag. Back in 2015, Max Mara unveiled the Whitney Bag, an iconic piece created in collaboration with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop to mark the inauguration of the new Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. What began as a limited edition bag quickly became a highly sought-after accessory for women around the world. 'It's a unique piece to be honest. It's a bag like no other on the market, and that makes us very proud, as well as the idea of representing [the Whitney's] architectural design and blending that with the spirit of Max Mara's brand aesthetic,' Maria Giulia Maramotti, Max Mara Fashion Group Board Member and third generation of the Maramotti family, tells Vogue. And indeed, the bag quite literally animates the Whitney through its ribbed design, which mimics the museum's facade.

On a like-for-like basis, net sales increased by 2 percent. The performance in Marcolin's two main geographic areas in the first quarter was mixed. Sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region rose 8.3 percent to 79.2 million euros, while in the Americas, revenues decreased 3.7 percent to 50.1 million euros, impacted by the uncertain scenario. The Italian company produces eyewear collections for brands ranging from Zegna and Max Mara to MCM, Pucci, Guess, Timberland and Adidas Original, to name a few. In 2023, Marcolin inked a perpetual license with Tom Ford as part of The Estée Lauder Cos.' takeover of the brand's business for about $2.3 billion. Last year, Marcolin renewed its licenses with Zegna, GCDS, Max&Co. and Skechers and, while Moncler signed with EssilorLuxottica, Marcolin added new agreements with Christian Louboutin, K-Way and Abercrombie & Fitch premiere luxury priced collection, both sun and optical, for Louboutin was launched last month with a total of 25 styles — encompassing more than 70 color stock keeping units — distributed across two releases for spring and summer 2025. Teased with a soft launch in February with an initial 14 sun and seven optical styles, supported by an ad campaign around New York City, April saw the Loubishark sun capsule, directly inspired by the well-known Loubishark sneakers, debut with a full campaign rollout globally. The deal with Louboutin will run through 2029. During the first three months of the year, Marcolin announced the early renewal until 2032 of its license agreement for the design, production and international distribution of Max Mara sunglasses and optical frames, confirming and further strengthening the partnership signed in 2020. In an interview in March to comment on the company's 2024 growth, chief executive officer Fabrizio Curci attributed this to the strategy embraced over the past four to five years of 'rebuilding a portfolio of brands that would be balanced and consistent as much as possible, premium luxury and more accessible, allowing Marcolin to sell to all categories of consumers, business-to-business and business-to-consumer in all market conditions.' Curci said he plans 'to stay the course in 2025, there is no need to change our strategy. The dynamics will not be different from 2024 and if certain geopolitical situations will cool off, including concerns about the tariffs, we hope there will be more consumer confidence, but we don't think there will be an overnight spike in the market.' At the same time, he expressed confidence in the resilience of the high-end range of the market. As of March 31, the adjusted net financial position amounted to 336.5 million euros, an increase of 15.2 million euros compared to Dec. 31, 2024, due to the typical business seasonality in the first quarter.

'In the first three months of 2025, Marcolin continued to consolidate its performance, in line with the positive results recorded in the 2024 financial year, continuing along the virtuous path undertaken in recent years, with significant impacts in terms of margins,' read a statement. The main market geographies for the group were Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the Americas, which recorded revenues of 79.2 million dollars (plus 8.3 percent at current exchange rates, plus 7.8 percent at constant exchange rates) and 50.1 million dollars (minus 3.7 percent at current exchange rates, minus 4.3 percent at constant exchange rates) respectively.
