Feventually Paris. Taking place at the end of fashion month, Paris Fashion Week SS24 was a nine-day program that included shows from some of the fashion capital’s newcomers as well as the city’s famous design houses, including Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Balenciaga and Saint Laurent .
This includes a one-off presentation of Marni’s latest collection Francesco Risso in by Karl Lagerfeld former private home, Peter Do’s debut in Paris after previously exhibiting in New York, and Louise Trotters debut collection for Carven after being creative director of Lacoste.
Elsewhere, we saw returns to Paris Fashion Week from Maison Margiela and Mugler, as well as a range of younger labels; Highlights included Duran Lantink, Kiko Kostadinov and Vaquera, who each brought their own energetic style to the week.
Victoria Beckham’s spring/summer 2024 collection showed a beautiful combination of feminine and masculine clothing, inspired by the English countryside, her own dance background and the simultaneous introduction of her own fragrance line. As sheer and silk dresses with appliqued bosoms flowed down the catwalk, blazers over knee-length shorts, adorned with brogues and knee-high socks, paid tribute to the country’s sports culture. The collection showed off large knit sweaters worn over knit bodysuits or sweaters with deep wire necklines. Because femininity is not always limited to lace and bows, the edges of shorts and dresses were scalloped and field jackets were styled without (visible) trousers with the slightest tension around the waist. The collection undoubtedly had a luxurious appearance.
Gabriela Hearst’s Chloé’s formative time was coming to an end, and what a gift that gave her. The elegance, confidence and femininity of the legendary French house were all present in her farewell collection, but it also stayed true to the aesthetics and principles that distinguished her as a designer. Her use of a botanical theme to gently hint at her support for sustainability resulted in chiffon panels hanging like blooming flowers from models’ chests and bunches of ruffles spreading like vines. Attention was drawn to Hearst’s imaginative yet wearable designs thanks to an almost entirely black and white color scheme occasionally interrupted by flashes of yellow, coral and silver.
The creative director of Marni, Francesco Risso, it had everything, including stripes and tartan, wild silhouettes and tiny hemlines, checks and leather. These stylistic components “have always been there, and yet we have found them again,” according to the show notes, and fell devotedly in love with them all over again. This passionate rediscovery was reflected in a collection that was simply animated. The presentation reached a beautiful climax outside in the garden, just as you start to get tired of dressing up in the opulent salon. This show was anything but boring; it was a vibrant parade of hues, textures and shapes.
