JEANNE FRIOT FW25 at Paris Men’s Fashion Week

JEANNE FRIOT FW25 / Fall Winter 2025 / 2026 at Paris Men’s Fashion Week entitled VISIONS – Collection 5.

Not all voices carry the same weight. Some are relegated to footnotes. Others are entirely absent, neither in books, nor in end credits, nor even in Instagram captions. Being silenced is what allows the patriarchal system to thrive, to quietly tell History from a single perspective and impose its vision.

Breaking the silence is what Jeanne d’Arc did. As a woman, she transformed her invisibility into transcendent power. We saw her again, one evening in July, sailing down the Seine during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, clad in a silver armor signed JEANNE FRIOT, crafted in collaboration with leather artisan Robert Mercier.

“This moment carried my vision. My brand, my name, benefited from an amplified spotlight. Jeanne d’Arc carried my vision… And so, I spoke. I put words to my vision across various media – a vision of a more inclusive society, bodies embraced in their uniqueness, and a role for fashion: to be useful, surprising, empowering for those it dresses, and respectful of the environment. And I kept fighting, as a queer woman leading an independent house. Because we must persist. Speak, assert the vision, so it doesn’t fade.

“VISIONS” is the title of this sixth collection. When she speaks, I hear revolution. My vision, our visions, all generations. To be free. REVOLUTION.“ – Jeanne Friot

Details of JEANNE FRIOT FW25 / Fall Winter 2025 / 2026, This season hits the road in a politically repressive climate but also amidst a rising resistance. This is reflected in long black vinyl coats shimmering or cut from white velvet, with broad shoulders to command space and exude confidence. To feel invincible. Wide silver trousers, bodysuits printed with the brand’s signature belts to liberate movement. Thick black bombers that wrap, protect, and hold. Fluffy faux-fur red coats defying invisibility. Slogans printed like cries – “A Woman is Somebody, not Some Body” – worn with Levi’s® 501jeans upcycled by Jeanne Friot, or pleated kilts freeing the legs.

Peacoats from previous collections make a return, redesigned to assert their presence. The collar stands tall, firm, and protective, wrapping the neck with an adjustable belt, like an embrace. Available in deep black or black-and-white checkered prints, they command a refined yet offbeat elegance, also evident in a hybrid jacket with houndstooth patterns – a diversion of an homage to traditional couture, translated into the brand’s universe.

The shadow of the Jeanne d’Arc from the Olympic Games weaves through the creations – a spirit of conquest and protection reimagined in materials and volumes. A series of silver pieces emerges among silhouettes of red, black, and white. A large silver windbreaker shields and protects, its metallic reflections recalling modern armor. Further along, an ensemble redefines proportions: a structured jacket with bold shoulders pairs with loose, dynamic cropped pants, sculpting a powerful, assertive silhouette. A sustainable, inclusive fashion for day and night, armed to face the world. Here, clothing becomes a political conviction sewn into the skin.

When a woman tells the truth, she is creating the possibility for more truth around her, wrote Adrienne Rich in Woman and Honor. Like clothing, the voice does more than dress: it affirms, destabilizes, claims. Philosopher Sara Ahmed speaks of the difficulty of being heard when one is perceived as “too emotional” or “angry.” She calls for turning the voice into a tool of disruption, a political act. Bell Hooks describes talking back as a form of resistance, a way to reclaim power.

In 2024, Judith Godrèche broke the silence, transforming a personal testimony into a tool for collective liberation. Adèle Haenel denounced being muted as a weapon of oppression. These women in their plurality, mentioned here, demonstrated that sharing ideas is key to any progressive movement.

To speak is to become visible. To present oneself to the world. And we know how essential clothing is in these moments of unveiling. At Jeanne Friot, fashion is a platform for speaking out, but also for liberation – literally – through clothing.

The boots In this collection are signed by Both, known for its hybrid and minimalist aesthetic, as well as its commitment to sustainable innovation. The beauty of “Visions” is brought to life by MAC Cosmetics, partner of this show. The legendary house of Levi’s®, founded in 1853, collaborated on a series of pieces upcycled by Jeanne Friot unveiled during the show. Jewelry designed by SUOT STUDIO. The music, an original creation by Kittin, interweaves her voice with Jeanne Friot’s.
