If Milan Fashion Week 2025 made one thing clear, it’s that the future of fashion is no longer about fleeting trends but about those with real purpose. And in that sense, Edis Pala’s show with his UNTOLD FW25 collection was nothing short of a revelation.
Location: Milan, Italy
Concept: An ode to craftsmanship, resilience, and sustainability
Materials: Fabrics with over a century of history, sourced from small villages in Bulgaria
From the very first moment, the event exuded an intense, intriguing, and emotionally charged energy. The deep red lighting created a theatrical atmosphere, while the models walked with confidence, as if each look was telling a story of struggle, transformation, and empowerment.
And the best was yet to come.
When Sustainable Fashion Becomes Haute Couture (and Ultra Desirable)
If anyone still thinks sustainable fashion is boring, Edis Pala just proved them wrong. UNTOLD FW25 was not just an eco-friendly collection—it was an explosion of avant-garde design, innovation, and pure attitude.
The materials spoke for themselves: Every fabric, with its century-old history, carried an emotional weight that in luxury fashion is more valuable than any logo.
The silhouettes were powerful: From structured coats with bold shoulders to dramatic, flowing capes, every piece exuded strength and sophistication.
The colors were hypnotic: Black dominated the collection, but the vibrant red patterns added that irresistible drama that makes you want to own a piece right now.
But what truly elevated the collection was its ability to tell a story without words. UNTOLD FW25 was more than just a runway show; it was a tribute to those who have overcome challenges, to those who wear their past with pride and turn it into their strength.
The Looks That Stole the Show
1. The Futuristic Menswear Set
Geometric-patterned trousers paired with a structured black sweater featuring vertical lines. Completed with cyberpunk-inspired sunglasses, this look radiated avant-garde energy.
2. The Red Coat That Needed No Introduction
With a bold black and red pattern, this oversized coat had presence, character, and an undeniable sense of mystery.
3. The Cinematic Drama Cape
If one piece defines modern luxury, it’s this one. With a deep black color, enveloping cut, and commanding silhouette, it embodied empowerment through fashion.
4. The Accessories That Made a Statement
Graphic details, textured fabrics, and elements inspired by Eastern European heritage. Because yes, even the accessories had a rich story to tell.
A Runway Show with a Cinematic Atmosphere
Beyond the collection itself, the event’s staging was impeccable.
Intense red and black lighting: Not only did it highlight the texture of the garments, but it also created an air of mystery and sophistication.
Immersive music: A mix of electronic and organic sounds, reinforcing the sensation of being in a different dimension of fashion.
Models with strong, confident energy: This wasn’t a show for passive struts. Here, every step felt like a declaration of independence.
Everything was designed to immerse you in the story of UNTOLD FW25, and it worked flawlessly.
Luxury Is Changing (and This Is What the Future Looks Like)
If luxury used to mean excess, today it means authenticity, history, and commitment to the planet.
Brands like Chanel, Stella McCartney, and Prada have already started incorporating recycled textiles into their collections, and what Edis Pala presented at Milan Fashion Week confirms that upcycling is the new language of luxury.
This collection didn’t just remind us that sustainability can be glamorous, it proved that it can also have soul, character, and an emotional depth that makes it even more powerful.
Final Thoughts: Fashion with History is the New Must-Have
If this show left me with one certainty, it’s that garments with history have an incalculable value. UNTOLD FW25 not only demonstrated that sustainable fashion can be striking, but that it can mark a before and after in the industry.
