BOSS presented its Spring/Summer 2025 menswear and womenswear collections at Milan Fashion Week, opting for a tranquil garden in the middle of the bustling city. This tranquil backdrop, a stark contrast to last season’s futuristic office space, served as a fitting backdrop for a collection that explored the delicate balance between work and play. Moving away from the brand’s recent see-now-buy-now approach, Creative director Marco Falcioni describes the collection as an evolution of BOSS’ formalwear DNA.
Aptly titled “Out of Office,” the collection reimagines traditional corporate attire for a world yearning for respite. The runway showcased a blend of tailored sophistication and relaxed ease, reflecting the desire to escape the confines of the workday. For men, this translated into impeccably tailored three-button wool suits, rendered in soft, flowing fabrics that seemed to float down the runway. Unlined blazers, paired with lightweight trench coats and supple leather dusters, exuded an air of effortless elegance. Ties were noticeably absent, replaced by subtle scarves peeking out from under unbuttoned shirts, a nod to a more relaxed approach to dressing.
Womenswear reflected this sentiment with draped tops, flowing pants with raised hems and wrap skirts that transitioned effortlessly from day to night. Bomber jacket and skirt ensembles struck a balance between polished and practical, embodying the modern woman’s versatile wardrobe. The collection’s color palette further emphasized the theme of escape, with earthy browns, greens and muted neutrals evoking a sense of tranquility.
Falcioni’s vision went beyond the clothes themselves. The casting, a mix of professional models and celebrities from the world of sports and media, further blurred the lines between work and play. Athletes such as Matteo Berrettini, Taylor Fritz and Alica Schmidt, along with editors George Cortina, Luke Day and Alex Badia, embodied the collection’s spirit of effortless style. Their presence served as a reminder that the desire for balance and escape transcends professions and lifestyles.
