Plum, in all its shades, dominated the fall/winter 2024 fashion shows and spread to spring/summer 2025 at Copanhagen fashion weeks, New York, Milan, Paris. Most recently, Prada introduced plum on a dress decorated with bows of the same color, in a Tom Ford suit and silky dresses at The Attico…, all as if to implicitly affirm: plum will dethrone burgundy. This color stands out as an unexpected choice, capable of adding “slickness” to the wearer.

The cardigan is matched with a silk dress and a handbag to create an overall plum purple look. A look that is suitable for both street style and party style of fall 2024.

Outside the Prada show, fashionista Emili Sindlev wore a purple off-the-shoulder dress with a unique sporty design.
If before summer, fashionistas were “hypnotized” by quiet luxury – a philosophy that promotes clothes without obvious logos but of the highest quality, made of fine materials such as cashmere, linen and suede, in a subtle palette of gray, pearl black to camel. But when autumn comes, the mood literally changes. Wardrobes are dyed with strong and convincing colors, symbolizing the seasons, among which maple red and plum purple become trends.
No longer following the quiet minimalism perhaps thanks to the “brat” trend, that is, bold and provocative through the symbolic color of the highlighter green. A more expressive aesthetic, attracting attention and representing this transition is the color plum, or rather the combination of burgundy and purple, blending and tying these two worlds together, it has the elegance and gloss of a quiet luxury style, but yearning to appear and be noticed.


Shades were not lacking even during the recent fashion week in Milan, where Prada chose color as the “main character” beyond the shape, material or structure of the outfit.

A more expected combination of plum with neutrals than traditional colors, plum is as sophisticated as burgundy, camel or chocolate and goes well with classic colors from off-white to gray.
In the Zimmerman version, the plum dress is made of silky, smooth material that wraps the wearer’s body like a second skin, giving the outfit a soft and sexy effect. The Attico dress is shorter, more festive in a seductive color, perfect for all evening parties, the shortness and revealing of the dress is no problem in this color because it never looks vulgar.
