Laia Garcia-Furtado clicked her way through a lot of details shots to produce her spring 2025 accessory trend report. Her takeaways? That it was a season of extremes, be they in the form of “big leather shopping bags that can fit your entire life in, and small gold minaudières that can maybe hold a lipstick,” or “ultra-feminine shoes inspired by Cinderella’s glass slipper, and groovy high-top sneakers made for hitting the boxing gym.” Extremes of a different kind defined Vogue Business’s latest Size Inclusivity Report. Lucy Maguire and Maliha Shoaib write, “the body positivity movement has lost steam in mainstream culture as the pendulum has swung back to the glamorization of thinness, amid the rising use of Ozempic and the subsequent shrinking of celebrities and influencers. And, as predicted, this showed up on the spring 2025 runways.” Also predictable: it was young and emerging brands that did the most for diversity. Let them be a lesson to one and all. |
