Music at the spring 2025 couture shows didn’t just accompany the clothes—it shaped them. A single track can tilt the atmosphere, intensify a look, or underscore an entire theme. This season, designers seemed especially aware of that power, choosing songs that pushed their collections into new and exciting realms.
We’re talking about pounding electronica, hushed orchestral swells, and everything in between—each used to reinforce the creative vision on the runway. The collections felt more alive and immersive when paired with these selected beats and melodies.
Here’s a look at the shows that caught our ear, plus direct links to the songs if you want to plug into the energy yourself. These are our favorite tracks from each show.
