Marques Almeida ventures into refined terrain with their Pre-Fall 2025 collection, offering a compelling balance between evening sophistication and subversive edge. Departing from their usual repertoire, the designers embrace the unexpected—leopard print slinks across elongated silhouettes, signaling a more glamorous, yet still unmistakably rebellious, evolution.

Hints of 1950s couture appear in exaggerated taffeta pouf-backs, while the brand’s enduring grunge DNA is woven—sometimes literally—into the fabric. Fil coupé textures unravel with intentional imperfection, casting a disheveled beauty over fluid shapes. A black halter gown, captured mid-motion with its train sweeping behind, encapsulates the collection’s darkly romantic, slightly witchy undercurrent.

The label’s signature denim returns in reinvented forms, shaping corsets and exposed bras layered with confident irreverence. Paired with slouched boyfriend jeans, they ground the glamour in something raw, intimate, and resolutely modern.

In Pre-Fall 2025, Marques Almeida flirts with allure, but on their own terms—where undone textures meet elegance, and eveningwear is reimagined through a subcultural lens.
