Strut into the weekend’s wildest fashion headlines—think Pucci in Portofino, kilts on catwalks, sneaker collabs no one saw coming, and Trump tariffs causing couture chaos. It’s haute mess meets hot takes.
this weekend in fashion was a chaotic couture cocktail of runway slayage, tariff drama, and kilts (yes, kilts!). Whether you're a trendspotting fashionista or just in it for the Instagram eye-candy, here’s the fabulously chaotic rundown of what went down in the fashion world this weekend. Spoiler: it's as wild as a sample sale at Gucci.
Pucci Takes Portofino, Darling!
Imagine this: the Italian Riviera, a 16th-century monastery, Aperol spritzes on silver trays, and Naomi Campbell strutting in a psychedelic mini dress. No, it’s not your dream vacation—it’s Pucci’s Spring 2025 show, and it was nothing short of bellissima.
Creative director Camille Miceli transformed La Cervara Abbey into a 60s-style seaside dreamscape, complete with printed micro-minis, floaty caftans, and enough geometric swirls to hypnotize a yacht. Top models like Alex Consani and Karen Elson brought high-fashion heat to the Italian coast, and the crowd? Oh honey, it was more glam-packed than a Met Gala afterparty.
Tariffs Are the New Black (Unfortunately)
Hold onto your Balenciaga boots—former President Trump’s new tariffs are threatening to turn our wardrobes into time capsules. With proposed import taxes reaching 54% for China and 46% for Vietnam, the U.S. fashion industry is having a collective nervous breakdown.
Considering 98% of U.S. clothing is imported, this could mean your next Zara haul might cost as much as a vintage Dior. Supply chains are scrambling, retailers are sweating, and fast fashion? Let’s just say it’s about to get a lot slower.
Daniel Penny Walks the Walk (In a Kilt!)
From military to model—Daniel Penny, the ex-Marine, debuted on the runway at the Dressed to Kilt charity fashion show in NYC. Clad in traditional Scottish gear (yes, full tartan realness), Penny strutted like he owned Fifth Avenue.
The theme was Country Couture: From the Scottish Highlands to Fifth Avenue—and if that doesn't scream fashion meets Highland fling, we don’t know what does. Bonus points: the show supported veterans’ causes, so it's glam with a good cause.
Fort Lauderdale Fashion Week Heats Up
Not to be outdone by Milan or Miami, Fort Lauderdale rolled out the palm-fringed carpet for its own Fashion Week, kicking off with influencer brunches, designer showcases, and tropical runway flair. Local talents mingled with international designers in what felt like a sun-drenched, selfie-fueled fashion lovefest.
Marni x Hoka: The Running Shoe You Didn’t Know You Needed
In a move no one saw coming but now everyone wants, Marni and Hoka released the Bondi B3LS Running Sneaker—a technicolor beast that screams, “I run marathons but also know the difference between chartreuse and celadon.”
Available in retina-melting red, blue, brown, and yellow, these chunky kicks are equal parts athleisure and avant-garde. Perfect for that coffee run where you pretend you're going to Pilates.
TL;DR?
Fashion this weekend was giving:
Mediterranean glam at Pucci.
Wallet stress from Trump.
Kilts and camera flashes in NYC.
Palm trees and platforms in Florida.
Sneakers that make your Crocs cry.
