The fall 2025 GCDS collection by Giuliano Calza is a unique blend of grandma-style laces, grunge aesthetics, and a touch of Lizzie McGuire’s iconic ’90s vibe. Set in the heart of Milan, the collection showcases strong contrasts inspired by ancient fabrics found in classic Italian grandmothers’ wardrobes, particularly in the south. Drawing inspiration from the summer reading of La banda degli invisibili by Fabio Bartolomei, the designer infuses the collection with a rebellious spirit reminiscent of bored elderly people taking matters into their own hands. The juxtaposition of grunge codes, highlighted by leopard prints, knitwear, faux furs, and slip dresses, adds a nostalgic ’90s touch to the overall aesthetic. With a mix of prints, textures, and styles, including polished python prints and preppy school uniform elements paired with thigh-high boots, the collection exudes a gothic pop vibe. Calza’s unique vision also incorporates contemporary references, such as a tribute to the Nosferatu movie by Robert Eggers. Get ready to experience a bold and eclectic fashion journey that defies conventions and celebrates individuality in the fall 2025 GCDS collection.
