If you're a fashion lover, a museum nerd, or just someone who likes pretty clothes in cool spaces, then 2025 is your year. From the glitz of New York to the elegance of Paris and the creativity buzzing in London, the biggest cities in the world are rolling out the red carpet for fashion exhibitions that are equal parts inspiring and Instagram-worthy. Whether you’re into swimwear throwbacks or ultra-glam couture, there’s a little something for every kind of style junkie.

Here are the seven top fashion exhibitions you won't want to miss this year:

​

​

1. Superfine: Tailoring Black Style

When: May 10 – October 26, 2025
Where: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

​​

The Met Gala is always the fashion moment of the year—and 2025's theme, “Superfine,” is about to be iconic. This exhibit dives deep into the elegance, swagger, and influence of Black dandyism, showcasing designs by standout talents like L’Enchanteur, Agbobly, and Who Decides War. Think tailored perfection meets cultural storytelling with a whole lot of style.

​

2. Louvre Couture: Art Objects, Fashion Objects

When: January 24 – July 21, 2025

Fashion meets fine art in the most Parisian way possible. “Louvre Couture” is bringing together dreamy couture pieces from the likes of Chanel, Yohji Yamamoto, and Dolce & Gabbana—and placing them right alongside classical art. It’s a rare chance to see how fashion is inspired by (and sometimes outshines) the old masters.

​

3. Splash! A Century of Swimming and Style

When: March 28 – August 17, 2025
Where: Design Museum, London

 

​Ready for a dive into fashion history? “Splash!” takes us through 100 years of swimwear—featuring everything from retro beach looks to that famous red Baywatch suit. It’s equal parts fashion and pop culture, plus a fun way to think about how swimwear reflects everything from social change to body positivity.
