GIABORGHINI FW25: The Quiet Edit

They say fashion tells a story, but for Dina Yassin,…

September asks for discipline. Not austerity, but clarity. GIABORGHINI answers with a Fall/Winter 2025 collection that treats the shoe like architecture scaled to the pace of the day. The house revisits iconic shapes from recent decades and files them down to essentials: clean lines, decisive profiles, and a palette that behaves like a wardrobe’s neutral spine. It is an ode to elegance that reads modern because it refuses fuss.

Look closely and you see the balance the brand is known for. Minimalism carries character rather than erasing it; classicism is present but never static. Heel heights shift with intent so a single style can move from morning meetings to late dinners without costume changes. Colors sit in the sophisticated range where sand, bone, smoke, ink, and cocoa live, which means they will harmonize with whatever uniform you already trust. The brief is not to shout, but to hold the line with confidence.

Comfort is handled like a design principle, not an afterthought. You feel it in the way the upper meets the foot, in the pitch that lengthens without punishing, in the transitions that make a day feel like one continuous sentence instead of a series of hard stops. GIABORGHINI builds these pairs to elevate and accompany rather than dominate, which is precisely why they register as luxury in motion rather than luxury on display.

Context matters. GIABORGHINI was founded in 2016 by Florentine entrepreneur-designer Barbara Borghini, named for her daughter Ginevra, and built on an Italian workshop logic that pairs exciting design with craft. The label grew a global community quickly, helped by women who live on camera and off: Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Anok Yai, Joan Smalls, Ashley Graham, Elsa Hosk. Collaborations with trusted industry insiders have been part of the brand’s method from the start, expanding the vocabulary while keeping the handwriting legible. Distribution follows the same clarity, with placements across top retailers worldwide.

How it wears this season: let a sharply cut pump anchor draped suiting in winter white; pair a mid-heel slingback with a pencil skirt and a silk knit to take the edge off office formality; run a squared-off boot under elongated trousers so the line drops like a curtain; choose a taller, sculptural heel when the dress is simple and the room demands presence. The point is not to collect styles. The point is to select leverage.

What makes FW25 interesting is the refusal to trade clarity for novelty. The collection is new without being noisy, familiar without being safe. It edits the last twenty years of footwear memory into pieces that feel inevitable once you see them. That is harder than it looks. Anyone can decorate a shoe. Making one that teaches the outfit how to stand is a different craft.

GIABORGHINI frames femininity here as range rather than one note: practical, seductive, reserved, declarative. The wearer does the deciding. The collection simply supplies the grammar.

September will be loud elsewhere. FW25 stays precise. It is the shoe as edit, the line that pulls an outfit into focus. Put a pair on and the posture shifts, the pace steadies, the room pays attention. Restraint is not a compromise. It is the power move.
