Yahoo Lifestyle Ruohan Brings the Music for Spring 2025
Ruohan Nie brought the music to her spring 2025 presentation, literally. A band stood at the center of the show venue behind see-through screens. More played upstairs simultaneously, as models walked down the runway.
She offered quiet luxury basics in black, white, beige, navy and burgundy. They looked flattering enough but not much beyond that.

The designer’s The Row-adjacent aesthetic has been popular in China with more than 90 stockists worldwide, thanks to its reasonable price point. A capsule for Lane Crawford was presented as part of the spring 2025 lineup. But to make a name for itself in Paris — not just for the sake of being here — a lot needs to be done still to cement a memorable point of view and build momentum. If Khaite can do it, so should Ruohan.
Having a bit of melody this time was an improvement — it lightened the mood and provided some distractions — but that didn’t answer the persistent question of who she is, which the catwalk show itself also failed to answer.
