The 2025 Cannes Film Festival, held from May 13 to 24, did not announce an official theme, but a clear focus emerged through the films showcased: a celebration of cultural specificity and authenticity in storytelling. This year's selections highlighted local identity and rooted narratives, contrasting the homogenized, location-flexible nature of mainstream Hollywood productions. Films such as Partir un Jour and The Sound of Falling emphasized the importance of place and community, while others tackled weighty themes like historical memory, justice, and identity. Notable examples included The Disappearance of Josef Mengele and Two Prosecutors, which delved into collective remembrance and accountability. Collectively, Cannes 2025 underscored a thematic current of grounding cinema in the specific, the personal, and the politically resonant. This year was less about rigid dress codes and more about individuality. Whether it's through daring cuts and vibrant hues.

EXCLUSIVE: Giambattista Valli to Receive Award During Couture Week
COUTURE DOUBLE-HEADER: It's shaping up to be a memorable Paris Couture Week for Giambattista Valli this July, when he will be elevated from Knight to Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters. In lieu of two events, he's decided to combine the unveiling of his fall 2025 haute couture collection with a celebration event at his Paris headquarters, which is a stone's throw from the Opéra Garnier. More from WWD Giambattista Valli Won a Bridal Award in Barcelona Dream Weavers Amanda Seyfried Goes Sheer With Romantic Details in Little Black Lace Giambattista Valli Dress at David Yurman Party This 'more private event' is billed as an exclusive presentation, not a traditional runway show, 'offering guests a more personal and immersive experience.' Vall has mounted exhibitions for couture in lieu of runway displays several times, just before and during the pandemic, offering a close-up, unhurried view of his maison's know-how. He first ventured into haute couture in 2012. The Rome-born, Paris-based designer was decorated as a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters during Paris Fashion Week in September 2023, with Diana Widmaier Picasso and Anna Wintour delivering testimonials. The French award of merit is bestowed by the Ministry of Culture. Established in 1957 to recognize artists and writers, as well as others who have contributed significantly to the arts in France, the Order of Arts and Letters has been awarded to the likes of Iris van Herpen, Demna, Simon Porte Jacquemus, architect Peter Marino and the late fashion editor André Leon Talley. Valli is racking up the accolades this year. Last month, Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week handed the designer its 2025 Industry Impact Award, which recognizes significant contributions to the bridal sector. The designer introduced his first 'Love' bridal capsule, sold by trunk show, in 2021.

Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week celebrates punk-romantic legacy of Vivienne Westwood
Taking over from giants like Giambattista Valli, Viktor&Rolf and Elie Saab, the British brand Vivienne Westwood, international guest of this edition, stole the show last night at the Barcelona Bridal Night, one of the highlights of the Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week 2025, which is being held in Barcelona from April 23-27. The show, held in the historic Cloister of the University of Barcelona, marked the brand's debut with a collection dedicated entirely to bridal fashion. Consisting of 30 looks, the collection paid tribute to the legacy and rebellious spirit of its founder, who died in 2022, now reinterpreted with a new contemporary sophistication.

Since then, Andreas Kronthaler—Westwood's husband and close collaborator—has led the creative direction of the house together with Brigitte Stepputtis, head of Haute Couture design and the bridal line. New silhouettes, punk details and an uncompromising bride True to the brand's DNA, the collection is characterised by a reinterpretation of traditional silhouettes through experimental cuts, structured corsetry, detachable layers and handmade embroidery. The punk aesthetic and traditional British design converged in a visual narrative that championed bridal fashion as a space for self-expression, beyond protocol. On a catwalk dominated by a monochrome palette with white as the protagonist – although unafraid to introduce darker tones or details in pink – dresses with extreme volumes, asymmetric cuts, sculptural draping and suggestive transparencies followed one another. From mini dresses with veils to trouser suits, the collection embraced a controlled theatricality, halfway between baroque and irreverence, closing the show with the pop nod of a Simpsons T-shirt.

Paris Couture Week Dinner Celebrates Qatari Designer Yasmin Mansour
PARIS — Qatar is ready to bring its fashion designers to the world stage. Paris-based designers including Giambattista Valli, Gaia Repossi and Burç Akyol turned out for a dinner on the closing day of Paris Couture Week in honor of Yasmin Mansour, one of the country's rising talents. More from WWD Swedish Brand Bite Studios to Open at Harrods Here's How to Shop Ariana Grande's First Collection With Swarovski That's Full of Old Hollywood-inspired Jewelry Megan Thee Stallion's Tangerine Dream at Giambattista Valli The event was hosted by M7, the innovation and entrepreneurship hub for design, fashion and tech established by Qatar Museums under the leadership of Her Excellency Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani, the sister of Qatar's ruler. The winner of the most recent edition of the Fashion Trust Arabia Prize in the eveningwear category, Mansour presented a selection of her designs, showcasing her signature fabric layering technique, in a vast apartment on Rue de Rivoli. But the clothes were best appreciated on stylish guests like Farida Khelfa, who wore an ivory tailored coat with mille-feuille sleeves, and Natalia Vodianova, in a short bustier dress with a layered skirt, accessorized with one of Mansour's croissant-shaped handbags — which also inspired the menu by culinary collective We Are Ona. 'I think she's very talented, and I've been attending Fashion Trust Arabia, where Yasmin, like other nominees and winners, get highlighted. I'm just very curious to support other regions, other talents, other points of view,' Vodianova said. The model, philanthropist and entrepreneur noted that the Middle East was becoming a huge market for luxury goods. 'Therefore, also, there is a lot of exposure to beauty, but within a very unique cultural setting which creates something new and fresh and exciting for the rest of the world,' she said. So what could she fit in such a tiny purse? 'My bag is very small, but it's quite magic,' she said, pulling out a credit card, pouch, lipgloss and Samsung Galaxy flip phone to demonstrate. Mansour said she soft-launched the bags two years ago, starting with family and friends and gradually expanding preorders to the rest of the Gulf region. She plans to relaunch her website next month to make them widely available for sale for the first time. Customers will also be able to preorder her fall collection, set to go on sale at Harrods department store in London in June, she said. Mansour's designs are strongly inspired by architecture, with her latest collection taking its cues from the National Museum of Qatar designed by Jean Nouvel, who based its petal-shaped structure on a desert rose mineral formation. Aldana Al Mesnad, head of business development at M7, said the nonprofit works in partnership with Scale7, a fashion and design business incubator founded by Qatar Development Bank, to help promote, develop and foster the creative industry in the country. 'What we focus more on is really pushing the designers to think more creatively and on a bigger scale,' she explained. 'We're really trying to get them to think of the global market and how they can enter it, and we give them the tools.' The country has ambitions to create a local school for craftsmanship, but it is building its local fashion industry one step at a time to ensure the structures are sustainable, the executive said. 'Nowhere in the world will you find that you have a small pool of talent that can have access to world class resources,' Al Mesnad remarked. 'I see this as one of our good traits, because now we can really build on a small scale, think long term, not really try to do a huge splash or, 'I want 100 or 200 designers to make it.' I'm looking at three, then four, then five,' she added. Mansour got emotional when discussing the journey of her brand, established in 2014. 'I feel like I'm part of inspiring the new generations. And I always have tears in my eyes when I talk about this, because we don't have it now, and I feel like it's my responsibility to just show people what Qatar can do, also in fashion,' she said.
