How advertising mirrored the month of innovation and creativity
The Spring/Summer 2025 Fashion Week shows ended at the start of this month (October) with the longest week, Paris. A month of innovation, creativity, and plenty of media attention, the occasion invites marketers to get involved in unique ways.
As designers were debuting their latest collections and embracing the internet’s most loved models, advertisers were jumping on the hype of all things fashion. Key markers of fashion-related campaigns include: tapping into culture and social media, embracing pop music, bold design, and a love of luxury.
From Gap’s viral dance with pop icon Troye Sivan and H&M unofficially kicking off London Fashion Week with a Charli XCX concert, to BBH London’s homeware couture for Tesco’s F&F and Travelodge’s Kate Moss look-alike in a duvet dress - campaigns embodied the spirit of Fashion Month.
At the same time, social media played its part in expanding the conversation. We heard from industry experts on sustainability, the pressures of social media, and a new trend in fashion marketing that is embracing lo-fi social.
