Paris Fashion Week saw all the other cities bringing out their chicest nip-baring looks this Fall/Winter 2025 season and said, “Hold my beer.”
Over the past couple of years, shows have gotten nipplier and nipplier, fully embracing bodily autonomy. But even the most risqué cities and seasons included a combination of contemporary designers, which tend to be more daring, and a handful of heritage brands, which err on the conservative side. Paris, however, was a revelation
This season, brands also employed buzzy models to strut in the naked styles. Fendi, for example, commissioned Gabbriette for the task, who walked the label’s 100th-anniversary milestone show in a nip-forward ensemble. Amelia Gray, daughter of Real Housewife Lisa Rinna, also turned heads at the Dsquared² show, rocking one of the most decadent (and translucent) pieces from the collection.
Between big labels continuing to wave the bodily autonomy flag and stylish models and attendees embodying the courageous look, Milan won the nip-forward game. Ahead, you’ll find the nippliest moments from Milan Fashion Week’s Fall/Winter 2025 season.
The Nippliest Runway Looks
Dsquared²
Dsquared² kicked off Milan Fashion Week with a (naked) bang. After Doechii opened the show in hot pants and model Isabeli Fontana showed off her entire butt on the runway, the label sent Gray to sashay down the catwalk in a decadent feathery look that was oh-so sheer.
Fendi
Fendi celebrated a centennial milestone. Naturally, the Italian label’s 100th-anniversary show included spicy looks with even spicier talent. Case in point: Gabbriette taking the runway (for the second time ever) in a nip-forward lace top, skirt, and riding boots.
Blumarine
The fairy-tale aesthetic, a massive trend this spring, will continue its hold on the fashion industry, as seen at Blumarine. Come fall, however, the fantasy-inspired trend will get a risqué update with diaphanous styling. Yes, storybook protagonists also apparently like the exposed-undies look.
Gucci
Gucci injected a dose of whimsy into the bold look in a plunging lace dress in a delectable bubblegum pink. Embracing the skin-baring look, the same model sashayed down the runway in clear, PVC shoes. Naked-on-naked has never looked better.
MM6 Maison Margiela
Margiela’s diffusion line, MM6, infused hints of the OG label’s signature avant-garde aesthetic. One outfit included a completely transparent mock turtleneck tucked into trompe l’oiel jeans. The pair was oversized, with extra inches of denim jutting out of the sides, and featured the illusion of much smaller, more appropriately sized jeans.
AVAVAV
AVAVAV also employed the optical illusion effect. This time, however, a model wore a flimsy long-sleeved top made to resemble officewear: a V-neck sweater layered over a button-down and necktie. The pattern of the torso, however, was subtly made to look like an X-ray, including faux ribs.
Ferragamo
Ferragamo won the title of “nakedest dress to walk the runway” this season. A model strutted down the heritage label’s show in a mock neck, long-sleeved mesh LBD. Apart from the long strips of “fringe” that accented the dress and turned it into one giant tassel, the model appeared basically commando underneath.
