Key introductions include the Blisscape sofa by Ludovica Serafini & Roberto Palomba, offering adaptable comfort and the brand's first foray into bedroom systems with the DressCove Night System, a sophisticated modular wardrobe line.
New collaborations mark the season: a Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet for Leica's Cine 1 laser TV, and a Fornasetti capsule reinterpreting the 1919 armchair and Isidoro trunk, adorned with whimsical illustrations.
The Pelle Frau® Soulful leather collection expands sustainable luxury through its Impact Less tanning, complemented by a refreshed 2025 Textile Collection that introduces new fabric families and modern tones.
In seating, updates include modular extensions to the Parka sofa, the GranTorino line, and new versions of the Archibald and Downtown Lounge armchairs. Dining evolves with additions like Mesa Ellipse, new belt-inspired chairs, and an elegant Duo Bed series co-designed with Ceccotti Collezioni.
Lifestyle design is amplified through the Beautilities collection: lamps by digital artist Six N. Five, Sebastian Herkner's Nymph floor lamp, travel accessories by Carlotta Fortuna, and games crafted in leather and wood in collaboration with Giobagnara.
CEO Nicola Coropulis affirms the brand's vision: 'The Fifth Season is about deeper human connection through nature, design, and innovation.' With a holistic approach, Poltrona Frau's 2025 collection stands as a masterclass in sustainable craftsmanship, comfort, and artistry.

Days After Prada Kolhapuri Row, Dior Under Fire For No Credit To India In USD 200,000 Mukaish Overcoat

The uproar against Italian high-fashion brand Prada appropriating India's Kolhapuri chappals hasn't even died down that another high fashion brand is in the dock for a similar, err, offence. This time, it is Dior. Jonathan Anderson, who has been appointed the sole creative director of womenswear and menswear at Christian Dior, showcased his debut collection for the luxury label in Paris on June 27, 2025. The show created a lot of buzz online, with celebrities such as Robert Pattinson, Rihanna, Daniel Craig and more in attendance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by @ideservecouture Fashion commentator and content creator Hanan Besnovic, who runs the Instagram handle @ideservecouture, made a video of a particular gold and ivory coat with a houndstooth design. He accompanied his post with the caption, "34 days to create a 200k Dior coat? Well here is a little more context to Dior's 200k coat!" This intricately crafted coat stands out because of its use of mukaish work, a metal-strand embroidery technique from Lucknow. Hanan Besnovic too pointed out in his video, "Why is it a 200k dollar coat? Well, there's a little more context to it. The coat is from the debut collection of Jonathan Anderson for Dior, but the procedure used to make this coat is not easy. First of all, the embroidery that you see on this coat is made by using the traditional mukaish technique. This is a traditional Indian hand embroidery technique." He adds how mukaish embroidery is done, and also says that 12 embroiderers were required to make this coat, and that it took 34 days to create it. Where's The Credit? But what is absolutely appalling and unacceptable is the fact that Indian artisans have not been given their due credit for the exquisite craftsmanship that went behind creating this sartorial genius of an overcoat for Dior. The Dior fiasco comes just days after Prada's much-hyped Kolhapuri row, wherein they conveniently skipped any mention of India. It was only after much outrage on social media that Prada finally acknowledged that their leather sandals were "inspired by the Indian handcrafted footwear from the Maharashtra and Karnataka region". Now, as the dust cools down on Prada, Dior has raked up yet another credit storm. And not without reason. After all, mukaish is a well-known Lucknawi embroidery technique. What Is Mukaish Embroidery? Mukaish is a traditional Indian embroidery that finds its roots in Lucknow and involves the use of strands of metal. These strands are twisted into a pattern that forms a design that is the hallmark of craftsmanship. The wires are used to create two distinct types of embroidery. These are kamdani - which features the entire pattern filled using badla work, and mukaish which is otherwise called 'fardi ka kaam', which employs metal wires being inserted and twisted into the fabric to create small dots of floral and geometric patterns. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nazakat-e-Lucknow® (@nazakatelucknow) While the gold mukaish dots are common, the houndstooth pattern on the Dior coat is not quite, and was meticulously created over 34 days. Mukaish, a dying craft from Lucknow, is an age-old embroidery technique with very few artisans still practising it and crafting mukaish sarees and dupatta. It is mostly done to highlight chikankari work. Over the years, Lucknow's chikankari has travelled far and wide across the globe, but mukaish remained confined to the city's narrow lanes. Till Dior picked it up and splayed it across a Paris runway, only to leave out any mention of the Indian craft.

Did Natasha Poonawalla outshine the bride in this pristine white structured gown at Jeff Bezos' wedding?

(Image Credits: Instagram) The Indian fashion industry has definitely seen no one like Natasha Poonawalla, who makes fashion experiments look like a cakewalk, only with a lot of grandeur and extravagance on the side. The 'Boss Girl', as we know her, has put India on the global map, thanks to her sartorial choices and she seldom gets anything wrong when it comes to her wardrobe aesthetics. As the unparalleled queen of maximalism recently attended the Italian wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, she literally outshone the bride for a moment in this pristine white structured theatrical gown that screamed avant-garde and pure art. (Image Credits: Instagram) Natasha 's look was all about grandeur, opulence, and drama, which has now caught everyone's attention, and surely for all the right reasons. She adorned a white full-length gown featuring a fitted sleeveless top with an attached voluminous skirt. Bezos-Sanchez Wedding: Bride Lauren Defies Human Form With Odd Reception Gown A see-through pannier made the gown, creating a bell-shaped look which was the standout moment, and had notes of experimental, groundbreaking, and iconic written all over it. With minimal embroidered floral detailing, she made it more dreamy with a layered vintage pearl choker necklace from Dior and added the rightful whimsical touch. (Image Credits: Instagram) Leaving her hair down in a mid-parting, she carried a carefree touch and crafted a subtle natural makeup tone with nude eyeshadow, lipstick, and a minimal touch of blush. Fatima Sana Shaikh's botanical cascading gown has dripping artistic notes Yes, Natasha's fashion choices might be a little too much for the masses, but she's got plenty of time to execute these whimsical ensembles with a tenacity to live in the moment. Redefining the fashion norms every time she graces the camera, she's indeed the risqué baddie we wish to see more of.
