The post The Most Captivating Spring/Summer 2024 Fashion Campaigns This Year appeared first on Voir Fashion.

With its complexity, setting, and choreography, it was much more than a regular show – it was a performance. After Lucky Love’s emotional “Now I Don’t Need Your Love” and a stunning short film setting the tone, we had a chance to marvel at over 40 outfits, with their corsets, eye masks, patchwork, bandage-like tights, and layers of transparent, patterned tulle, organza, and chiffon. Add some oversized trenches, tweed flat caps, and black knee socks to get into the avant-garde Parisian mood. The run-down bar setting arranged for the show, with its worn wooden floor, old-school chairs, winking yellow lightbulbs, vintage mirrors, and empty wine bottles had a magnetising vibe of an antebellum bistro somewhere in the artistic district of Montmartre. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/C2jnB0MgA9D/

The highlights of the collection include long, oversized trousers, suits, and woollen trenches with lines of thread visible – as if the amendments process was still in progress. Other recurring motifs were body curves underlining long skirts and elegant female coats with puffed sleeves, covered with thin, loops-containing Lycra. The iconic tobi-toe shoes were also there! The most impressive outfits were undoubtedly the transparent, ankle-length tulle dresses, which brought female corporeality with all their curvy lines, artificial wasp waists, and pubic hair to the front. No taboos are to be found there! The collection ended in four white-blue striped dresses, the last of which was presented by the classy Gwendoline Christie. The outfits, together with long gloves, curly wigs, and blue eyelids created the effect of an American doll from the 1950s. 

One of our absolute favourites was a long, purple-pink-yellow tulle dress, accompanied by a tulle-wrapped white hat. The outfit left an uncanny feeling, as the model’s face looked like the one of a button-eyed doll from Tim Burton’s Coraline, and the tulle seemed to cover the whole body, looking like the skin of an alien. Indeed, the great idea behind this and many other looks was for the models to resemble dolls. From the corsets worn by both men and women to the porcelain-like necks, inhuman, unearthly-looking faces, bandaged legs and throats, the shaky-walking models seemed like actual porcelain dolls brought to life. As they passed unstably, looking deep into the spectators’ eyes, often nervously covering themselves 

to produce a shy, emotional effect, they were much more than mere models. They were actors, who played in the great show embracing human sensuality, emotionality, and corporeality. 

The doll effect was mostly reached thanks to the breathtaking makeup done by the fabulous Dame Pat McGrath. The porcelain-like, perfectly smooth faces, the glittering lips, and the intense colourful eyes were just marvellous, with the fluffy, aerodynamic, hat-like hairdos by Duffy completing the looks.

With the audience cheering and shouting “Bravo!” repeatedly right after the show, it seems that John Galliano once again proved that he and the Maison Margiela fashion house truly deserve their position at the top!

Undercover

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxtYnXWhC1C/

After the lights dimmed at Undercover, we assumed the finale had just occurred, but as gasps and exclamations echoed from the beginning of the runway, we knew we were about to witness fashion history. Three models were languishing down the runway wearing glow-in-the-dark birdcage dresses with live gardens and butterflies inside. The glasshouse 3D pieces are one of the most talked about moments of the season, so it’s to one’s surprise that the designer responsible is the ever-inventive Jun Takahashi. Even the harsh, fan-favorite critic @hautelemaude was impressed. Unlike the one-and-done marketing gimmicks we’re used to seeing from brands, the dresses seamlessly blended with the rest of the collection and its theme: the surreal contrast between dark and light. Backstage Takahashi shared that “He feels like he’s stuck in the world, but he wants to release himself.”

https://www.instagram.com/undercover_lab/tagged/?img_index=4

This sense of existing in limbo was in the see-through veils and loose, feminine silhouettes that billowed like fading memories. The opening sheer tailored suits showed razors, playing cards, and flowers trapped in between the front and back layers. Georgette black suits, bedazzled spider embellishments, and faded t-shirts made the collection look like workwear rinsed in a cauldron. A somber color palette gave way to polka dots and bright yellow, followed by graphic co-ord sets of Neo Rauch’s paintings that perfectly conveyed that surrealist feeling. Tulle was everywhere; overlaying hoodies, as shoulder pads, and even crunched up as portraits from his first oil painting exhibition shown earlier this month, “They See More Than You Can See”.

https://www.instagram.com/undercover_lab/?img_index=1

The ambiance further enriched the theme, with broken and lit chandeliers on the cement floor, low-pitched cellos obfuscating the background, and gifted scarves with folklore illustrations upon our seats. With ‘Deep Mist’, Jun Takahashi devised an ingenious moment amongst an already innovative collection. Flooding our feeds on day two of fashion week, this show will go down in the books.

Alexander McQueen

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx45Ig1LKXi/

A bittersweet moment for fashion, this season Sarah Burton presented her last collection for Alexander McQueen. After three weeks of back-to-back shows, it’s hard to draw an emotional reaction from saturated guests; and yet. Kaia Gerber and Naomi Campbell’s appearances already sparked cheers, but it was nothing compared to the hollers and applauds that drowned the room when Burton herself (for the first time in what seemed like forever) did a full circuit of the runway. In a plain shirt and jeans that gave no indication of the magnificent collection that had just preceded her, the designer blew kisses and hugged longtime industry friends like journalist Sarah Mower, making for a deeply emotional grand finale. In her 26-year tenure with the brand (half working closely with McQueen and half as creative director), she has been persistent in honoring McQueen’s designs while reimagining womanhood from her perspective.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx5bfAEtPEI/

With ‘Anatomy II’, she delivered both a culmination and a retrospective of her work. On every seat, a departing note read “This collection is inspired by female anatomy, Queen Elizabeth I, the blood red rose and Magdalena Abakanowicz, a transgressive and powerfully creative artist who refused ever to compromise her vision. The show is dedicated to the memory of Lee Alexander McQueen, whose wish was always to empower women, and to the passion, talent and loyalty of my team.”

Kaia’s opening look set the tone, a corseted dress slashed with the first of many surgical cuts inspired by the ‘Hunger’ 1996 collection. Gold and silver embroidery substituted the violence and horror from the original pieces, instead celebrating the female body. Blood red, bone-white and black made up a very anatomical palette, all while referencing Britain and empowering women. Everything was a triple entendre; poppy flowers alluded to Tudor times, were printed in aquarelle graphics that degraded to blood stains, and became 3D dresses that petalled like vaginal folds. They were in shiny bustiers, sharply tailored mini dresses, and frilly embroideries on suits. The embrace of women’s bodies was also in the textiles printed with creations of Polish feminist artist Abakanowicz. Skeletons were reimagined in soft knitwear, where yarn bundled up as intestines and stitches and loops formed a feminine silhouette. Bones jutted out in the shape of sharp cutouts, tailoring flayed open with aggressive slashes as if it was skin or a reference to McQueen’s famed destruction of Saville Row tailoring.

https://www.instagram.com/kaiagerber/?img_index=3

The show was filled with symbolism in a way we’re accustomed to seeing from Burton, an exquisite end to a respected and historical chapter in the legacy label–and fashion. The show was a melancholic and beautiful moment in itself, making us grateful to have experienced her touch at McQueen in real-time.

Mugler

https://www.instagram.com/p/CyAywXht4ji/

From the very beginning, Casey Cadwallader’s arrival at the Maison has stirred up a lot of drama: Thierry Mugler superfans desperate for a comeback of his Vegas-style spectacles, high-brow editors frowning upon the brand going commercial, and an unexpected fervor from the gen populous (his H&M collaboration sold out in 8 minutes). It makes sense then that with this collection he’s leaning into the newly-found mass media appeal and away from haughty fashion critics. “We’re kind of an emerging brand in a funny way”, he chuckled at the show’s preview.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx8sEaZtbEc/

The show still clung to the theatrics Mugler was famed for (maybe because of this), but he gave it a showbusiness spin. Cadwallader even included the one-hour delay and throngs outside that are surmised before a spectacle. His fear of being too ‘costumey’ now assuaged, the designs were inspired by his love of octopuses and jellyfish. Large fans and bright lights turned the stage into a very dramatic wind tunnel. And the cast? He gave it the star power usually reserved for a Broadway production. Celebrities and supermodels alike walked the show, earning whoops and delighted gasps as they walked. Paris Hilton, Angela Basset, Helena Christensen, and Aber Valletta walked alongside Irina Shayk, Kai Isaiah-Jamal, Paloma Elsesser, Adut Akech, and Alex Consani. Phones and smiles were just as high when jersey garments billowed as if underwater and body-con dresses had seven-meter-long chiffon trains rippling like tentacles. Signature spiral-cut jeans and corset jackets were patterned with polka-dots and ombré sprays inspired by sea slugs, while sequined sheer bodysuits glistened like fish scales. Those weren’t the only classic and archive pieces given the aquatic treatment: elegant coats inspired by the SS97 collection had fringes inspired by jellyfish, resin body plates became exoskeletons, and tulle sleeves and trousers gave the illusion of SS99’s ‘floating’ tailoring. The show delivered one of the biggest spectacles of the season and served as an identity reset, proving that the new, more commercial Mugler is successful– and not going anywhere.

Y PROJECT

https://www.instagram.com/yproject_official/?img_index=2

After hosting a 6,000-person rave in Milan for the Diesel show, pressure and anticipation were high for Glenn Martens’ Y Project show. The standing-only room front row was crowded with the same young stylish people gathered outside the venue, making the inside look like superfans had sneaked past security and PR instead of invite-only. And with Martens’ reputation as fashion’s newest wunderkind, they might as well be crazed fanatics.

https://www.instagram.com/yproject_official/?img_index=2

The collection was based on the fabric manipulation of denim, a material at this point synonymous with the Belgian designer. It was twisted, frayed, and saturated in fierce shades of lavender, yellow and red. They made up scrunched dresses, crumpled boots, and even hooded shawls. Denim became transformable and appropriate for every occasion, a concept some might remember him pushing since his earlier years. Although it began as a way to send the same look down the runway twice, this revolutionary concept is taking a firm hold on fashion now. From stacked trousers and scrunched-up bags to jackets zipped up to make a Y-shape, we won’t be surprised to see his innovative draping at Zara or Shein in a few months (unfortunately maybe days for the latter). This particular collection was inspired by the Gothic architecture of his hometown, Bruges. With it, he finally gave us an insight as to why he chooses denim: “In Bruges we have the tallest Medieval tower that’s made of bricks. It’s nice that the material they were using is basic bricks, unlike in England or France who were using ornate stone. The material that we use is very basic and archetypal, cotton and denim, but from them we create these constructive twists.” Even if the triad of models wearing fake serpent necklaces around their necks were the most talked about looks, it’s the cementing of the denim-is-fit-for-all revolution that made the show so significant.

The post The Catch-Up: The PFW Shows Making The Most Waves appeared first on Voir Fashion.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvmvllSaHg/

The LINO womenswear show started off in classic Owens’ doom: a demonic melody played as obsidian ensembles opened the show, the Palais de Tokyo setting shrouded in artificial fog. But as soon as colorful petals began falling from the sky, we knew something was different. Sure, they were in reference to when Roman Emperor Heliogabalus notoriously suffocated his guests with rose petals (‘I didn’t have enough of them to kill everybody’ said Owens), but an uncharacteristic positiveness was in the apocalyptic fog.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxxR0edrXG5/?img_index=1

The distorted song revealed itself to be Diane Ross chanting ‘I still believe in love’, the fragrance from the petals pleasantly lingered, and the fog was in bright shades of pink and yellow. The inspiration behind this change was Bjork: ‘I went to (her) concert and her intelligent, life-affirming energy made me kinda embarrassed of my own mopey adolescent pessimism.’ said the designer.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvocnGNWIi/?img_index=2

That’s not to say that the show wasn’t Owens at its core. The opening looks established a black theme filled with skin-tight silhouettes, long leather skirts, and structural jersey draping that remained a theme throughout. Models wore alien-like black contact lenses and slicked-back hair with micro bras, oversized gloves, and shaded sunglasses. Wastlines were high and hemlines were low, complete with the brand’s signature pointed shoulders.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvmFCOgRHW/?img_index=10

But then entered this utopic hope. Pink, burgundy, red, and brown reiterations of the black getups appeared, with delicate wedding trains and capes substituting sheer funeral veils. Then came silk garments billowing in the wind and the ‘donut’ gowns we saw last season– puffball cylinder-shaped mini and midi dresses in toned-down pastels. It’s that same faith we had in the models, watching them brave through stairs and wind in sky-high platforms and orthopedic gladiator sandals.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvmFCOgRHW/?img_index=1

It was surprisingly refreshing seeing his usual structural artwork interpolated with more wearable pieces– we can’t remember the last time we saw Owens do cropped leather jackets, and his decision to use lava red is sure to bring in commercial success for the brand.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxxAl5XNatM/

In LINO he found a cautious sanguineness, making us see the beauty present on Earth amongst his signature melancholic futurism. There was no better way to show this than by using eco-friendly recycled yarn for getups that were perfect for an ecological apocalypse. The five final looks certainly made us think of doomsday preparation: differently colored hazmat loose jumpsuits covered every inch of skin. From beginning to end, Owens urges us not to ignore the bitter and harsh reality, and yet he inspires us to find the light in the darkness.

Dior SS24

Renown for their feminine silhouettes cult label Dior threw away their playbook this season instead, Creative Director, Maria Grazia Chiuri has injected feminism the collection, willing for women to dress for themselves.

Chiuri invites us to reimagine the female archetypes, from the ‘dangerous’ medieval witches to the ‘devilish’ femme fatales of 19th Century France. In a nearly all-black color palette, the show was a funeral for the clichés we have been fed our whole lives, unchaining the women of the present through garments that reclaim the power of the past.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxs4DqKPCDI/?img_index=3

Bewitching displays were present in fishnet and cobweb patterns, charred gray denim, delicate lace dresses, and frayed tailoring. The Parisienne Independent Thinkers were in the maps and Eiffel Tower graphics on structured blazers and long woolen coats. She reframed female stereotypes by adding gladiator straps to ballet pumps, utilitarian silhouettes to aprons and capes, and fitting power suits under dainty, cinched belts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxtgraftu9o/?img_index=1

Contrasting her earnest message was a colorful backdrop filled with satirical feminist slogans: the ‘Not Her’ art installation by Italian artist Elena Bellantoni. “It’s the dark side of Dior!” Chiuri claimed with a enchanting glint in her eyes.

Karoline Vito SS24

On the closing day of MFW, just as the sun finally shone after a week of rain, Karoline Vitto made history. Known for her body-positive clothes, the London-based Brazilian designer had a tear-filled, monumental show supported by Dolce & Gabbana. Although she has been making waves for the last two years with her inclusivity message at LFW, it’s nothing compared to the significance of having only plus-sized models strut down the Milan runways.

Vitto brought true, authentic inclusivity to the fashion capital. Models from size 10 to 24, were flown in from her London studio. The collection further proved this, as she used her signature jersey and metal materials to hug the folds and curves society condemns women for.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxtItzltRBS/?img_index=1

Structural metal rings laddered down hips and thighs, while skimpy swimwear, barely-there slip dresses, and low-rise trousers celebrated models’ bodies. Structured bustiers, skin-bearing vests, and jersey cutout dresses followed. Vitto wants the runway to represent real women because, in her own words, ‘the majority of us are not sample size, we should be seen.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxnmIPBtBSG/?img_index=6

After showing with incubator Fashion East at LFW for the past two years, Vitto gained the support of Dolce & Gabanna after world-renowned stylist Katie Grand vouched for her. It comes as no surprise then that we saw classic Dolce lingerie shapes and references to their 1992 collection, coupled with the archive fabric and size-inclusive heels gifted to Vitto by the Maison.

Post-show, editors, models, guests, and the designer herself hugged in joyful tears. Ashley Graham, who opened the show, exclaimed: “You should be crying, it was incredible! We just made history!” She then turned to the reporters. “It feels normal. You want diversity? This is diversity. More designers should be doing this. We need more curves on the runway, we need to have this be the normal. If I’m feeling normal on a runway with this many girls, it means that there’s something that doesn’t feel normal on runways everywhere else.” If this is where fashion is going, count all of us in.

Vaquera SS24

For the SS24 season, Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee brought their signature NY subversive eroticism to Paris. The show was a look at how celebrities navigate a life filled with cameras– and how we do too, now that we’ve all become our own paparazzi.

Models used ball caps, black-tinted sunglasses, and bags to hide from the flashing cameras and high-pitched tones that made the runway. They dodged and pushed their way through standing guests who, ironically (or appropriately) filmed everything like fans pushing against a security barricade.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxp6IgJI2dX/

Inspired by the 00s and 10s, we saw fishnet bodysuits, puffball gowns, bottomless chaps, and a ‘I Heart NY’ shoulder bag. Titled ‘Does It Really Matter’, the show even brought back Tumblr’s most wanted 2000s piece: the ‘Commes des Fuckdown’ slogan cap.

Vaquera questions whether celebrities’ need to be either constantly filmed or remain anonymous really matters when everyone has an iPhone anyway. Whether our own desire to hide or film ourselves truly deserves any attention. Reflecting this camera-shy vs. camera-loving duality, conventional looks were split down the back to reveal buttcheaks and bra straps.

A traditional black tube skirt was overlayed with pink underwear, simple black pantsuits had bondage straps, and golden tank tops had breast cut-out circles. Even if the show stood out for bringing out its classic devilish fun, the message behind it gave us food for thought–or, in this case, fashion for thought.

AVAVAV SS24

Every season, Stockholm-born designer Beate Karlsson breaks the internet with her humor-riddled show (last time the clothes literally fell apart down the runway). And, although the SS24 crowd also ended in laughter and delightful. And, although the SS24 crowd also ended in laughter and delightful gasps, the now-viral collection called out the toxic hustle culture we live in.

Stressed-looking models sped down the runway as they finished dressing, some even sporting half-finished designs or mascara running down their faces. The show opened with the backstage staff quickly stamping ‘AVAVAV’ post-its on the wall and pushing a model onto the runway. After anxiously trying to return BTS, she took off in quick strides as the second model appeared wearing an unfinished graphic T-shirt with “ADD BACK?! lettering.

The show was about emoting the pressure, chaos, and overwhelm we deal with regularly. It called out the time crunches and unrealistic deadlines designers have to meet while juggling a million things season after season after– you get the point. Models fought back tears as they sported sheer leggings, gloves, and furry boots with “Filthy Rich” tattooed on their chest instead of a top.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxnXg06Mdbb/?img_index=1

Some hid their faces altogether with front-facing hoodies, others had question-marked Sharpie annotations on T-shirts and one walked out wrapped in duct tape. Near the end, a model even ran down the runway with two foam blocks that read “ADD SHAPE”. What really took the lid off was the last look: a power suit made entirely of empty post-its. Titled, “NO TIME TO DESIGN”, AVAVAV somehow managed to be the most out-of-the-box and relatable show of Paris Fashion Week, simultaneously.

The post This Fashion Season/Fashion Week Wasn’t About The Clothes- It Was About A Revolution! appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Set to the rhythm of ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,’ models confidently strutted down the runway, reminiscent of an 80’s disco club. The collection featured a mix of eccentric colors that complemented the dazzling spectacle and playful designs. A diverse range of garments, showcasing Philipp Plein’s commitment to pushing boundaries, made their way down the runway, creating an eccentric fashion showcase.

In this show, women exuded femininity, and men embraced masculinity, all while the vibrant colors and prints fostered a playful and charming atmosphere. Dramatic mini dresses and miniskirts dominated the runway, while graffiti prints and Swarovski-plastered platforms captured everyone’s attention. The roller disco dancers infused the event with a lively, electric, and fun atmosphere.

Cropped tailored jackets, tracksuits, sporty underwear, and biker pants in various colors added a touch of sobriety to the already dynamic and eye-catching collection. The lineup also included rainbow paillette dresses and bedazzled denim pieces, contributingto the disco theme and blending sensuality, playfulness, and boldness.

This collection embodies Philipp Plein’s philosophy and commitment to delivering well-crafted pieces while creating an eccentric universe around his brand. The colours, lighting, and glitter not only created a visually striking show but also conveyed Philipp’s vibrant artistic vision and created an eclectic display of joy.

To top of this high fashion spectacle, Plein Land was graced by Quavo to kick off the night, and Saweetie who performed her hit ‘Best Friend’ to close the show. And we think Saweetie was the perfect choice to celebrate this collection with.

Prada

Every year, the Prada show is shrouded in secrecy as we await one of the most anticipated shows of the season. And this season, the Italian giant welcomed us into their effortlessly cool and chic home.

Greeting us in the front row of their Fondazione Prada base were the A-list guests in full: Rosalia, Kylie Jenner, Hunter Schafer, and Emma Watson, amongst many others. Co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simmons worked hard on their womenswear SS24 collection– and in it, they gave us the minimalist and elegant uniform we need to hustle as hard as they do.

But this time, their workwear attire and signature ugly chic aesthetic had an element of fun. Layered fringes, distressed floral patterns, and golden foil joined the otherwise monochrome colour palette. A master atjuxtaposition, Prada contrasted its signature boxy silhouettes with delicate pastel-toned organzapieces.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxisCFqI-7_/?hl=en}

For their Menswear SS24 follow-up show, you didn’t know what to gawk at first; the front row, the chic clothes, or the slime leaking from the ceiling.

Diesel

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxbBOi-qBVU/?img_index=1}

Expectations are sky-high when you’re on top, but somehow Glenn Martens met them once again. The ‘Only For The Brave’ collection lived up to its name as guests braved the rain to watch Diesel’s latest show. But that didn’t stir them from cheering and hollering as models walked through the Scalo Farini rail yard space (where Gucci used to show).

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxloxuhLmVd/?img_index=9}

The 7,000 people rager got especially loud when they thought Bella Hadid finally made her big runway reemergence, only to discover it was a lookalike model. But the triumphant return that really did happen was last year’s viral belt skirt– only this time it was half transparent. The naked look was a common theme too, with tight silhouettes in nude colours and underwear-gracing hemlines.

Although Martens did adopt trends like the ‘sheer dress’ and micro skirts, brand signatures also made an appearance. Denim-on-denim-on-denim was the name of the show, as trousers were triple-layered and the material distressed to the point of destruction. Some of the garments also had parodied movie posters (i.e. Batman) stamped on them. So much was going on, and yet the whole collection was somehow cohesive. Through an acid-washed and muddied colour palette, shredded jersey, and thrashed tuxedos, Martens created the ultimate stylish wardrobe for the apocalypse. Although the weather predictions proved awry, the forecast for today’s coolest brand is still positive: it is the moment.

Blumarine

If Diesel styled us for the apocalypse, Blumarine dressed us for heaven. Purity and romance shone a light on the usually Y2K-focused brand, with angel hues like violet, gold, and pristine white.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxfK0QcryZh/?img_index=1}

Early aught stapes including tube tops, ultra-low waists, and wrap dresses still sneaked in an appearance though. And just in case you missed the theme, Nicola Brognano sent models down the runway with feathered wings on their backs. But those weren’t the wings stealing the show; Blumarine’s signature butterflies were everywhere from brooches, corsages, knitted patterns, and even as a devilish underwear bottom.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxfazpQLsdk/?img_index=1}

This pop of mischief was sprinkled even more with the black skin-tight silhouettes, plastic dresses with metallic studs, and sheer material. With exquisite tailoring, tulle materials, and whimsy floor-sweeping gowns, Blumarine gave us an unexpected sophistication to their usual nostalgia, with an ethereal collection that beckons us to the light side.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxfXLyUrEi5/?img_index=1}

If the fashion world is praying to angels above, this season they’re bound to be dressed in Blumarine.

GCDS

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxd3_sAK0vn/?img_index=10}

For their SS24 show, Giuliano and Giordano Calza replaced their usually bright and cheeky clothes with softer colours and more sophisticated designs. But they didn’t ditch their signature salaciousness altogether, showing barely-there shorts, tiny bras, exposed thongs, and plenty of sheer tank tops.

_{https://www.instagram.com/gcdswear/?hl=en}

Mia Khalifa and Alessandra Ambrosio watched from the front row as Calza turned up the notch on the Canadian tuxedo, presenting denim trench coats, mini dresses, and even knee-high boots. Inspired by the Calzas’ hometown of Naples, designs were also filled with Italian motifs and sailor stripes that had us dreaming of summering on the coast.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxd1nUNKF9_/?img_index=1}

The brand didn’t shy away from that European luxe either, delightfully surprising us all by closing the show with very off-brand sequinned, voluminous evening gowns. This refinement was also obvious in the monochrome suits, structured sweaters, and silk trousers. A preppy element was injected into the show too, with shirts that read ‘TI AMO GCDS” and oversized varsity jackets that have us wanting to enrol in college to justify buying them.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxd24Dsq1Qn/?img_index=8}

Although this was an unexpected collection for the label, it still didn’t disappoint. When in doubt, choose GCDS.

Tom Ford

How do you replace Tom Ford at Tom Ford? Just ask Peter Hawkings. After working in close-knit with the designer himself for over 25 years, Hawkings presented his debut collection for the eponymous brand. And even if the name behind the brand is retired, the collection was Ford to its very core.

_{https://www.instagram.com/tomford/?hl=en}

‘Glamour, sexiness, elegances, and beauty’, in Hawkings’ own words. It was nothing disruptive but that wasn’t the point. It was a consistent reinforcement of the high-quality staples the brand is famous for, from the reinvention of Ford’s iconic 1996 belt buckle to the shirts unbuttoned past their navel. The colour palette was just as consistent, full of brown, cream, and black, with a brief interlude of pastel pink and blue hues.

_{https://www.instagram.com/tomford/?hl=en}

The show even homogenised men and womenswear, sending both genders down the runway in velvet suits and shiny mock croc. Before the British designer took the reigns the brand was in a ‘Parent Trap’ style situation, with Hawkings leading menswear from London and Ford womenswear from LA. Although the tiny shorts that were stars of the show were worn exclusively by the female models, it’s clear that the Tom Ford woman is approximating the man and vice versa. After establishing so strongly the brand’s codes into his SS24 collection, we can’t wait to see how Hawkings adds his own flair in the future.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxnAyxaoBS4/?img_index=6}

But for now, we’re glad to say that Ford-the man, the legend, the legacy lives on.

Di Petsa

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxVbiORtWvw/

First up, London’s opening act: Di Petsa. Her SS24 collection ‘Reflections of Venus’ was inspired by the Greek Goddess of love. The show took us on a journey of womanhood filled with symbolism toward the deity, creating an ethereal dream of eroticism. Nude and ivory loose dresses depicted feminine purity, followed by references to sensual awakenings through revealing and tight-fitting silhouettes.

What followed was an embrace of dark femininity with long sheer, black gowns, and a woman holding an ancient jug to her belly, as if pregnant, to represent motherhood. But perhaps the most jaw-drawing moment was the show’s start: a naked model was surrounded by women who, led by Petsa herself, caressed and danced around her before she emerged in a metallic gold gown. Birth of Venus, indeed.

Some garments had Swarovski healing crystals as a nod to self-love, and the closing look was reminiscent of a wedding dress which, to some, is the culmination of love. The Greek designer masterfully weaved references to the birth of Venus myth, with colours tones of sea foam sculpted bikinis, and her now infamous wet-look conveying (quite literally) the goddess’ emergence from the sea. Despite her show last year making a splash, it’s her storytelling and embrace of the divine feminine this year that makes Di Petsa a must-watch name in our list.

Mowalola

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxYZSnYtKlE/?img_index=7

NSFW graphic tees, hentai emblazoned polos, micro belt skirts, and barely-there undies, alongside makeup fetishising a car crash. Who else could create such a scandalous and carnal collection other than the dark-humoured Mowalola Ogunlesi?

But the Nigerian-born designer has a reason for it: she stumbled upon the 1995 erotic thriller ‘Crash’ and was instantly inspired.Thus the collection was filled with skin-bearing designs and clothes that spiked an uproar. Of course, she filled the runway with an array of political criticisms and jabs to the elite too; hats, cycling dresses, and leather skirts were filled with distressed Union Jacks and Japanese or Chinese flags, all while Donald Trump screamed ‘China, Chins, China’ in the background.

There was even a direct stab at the late Karl Lagerfeld, as two models conjoined at the arms walked in an oversized version of his ‘only4slim people’ micro tee. Other models walked in twos as well, in a way that Mowalola says “is giving twin-personality”.

With Irina Shayk opening the show in a metallic silver dress and Kanye West (a.k.a. Ye) and his new wife Bianca Censori watching from the front row Mowalola has certified itself as the IT-brand in popular culture.

Natasha Zinko

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxQvwv5NzCG/

London-based designer Natasha Zinko is another designer that stole the show on day one, debuting her SS24 collection ‘THE CAMP’. She took the camping theme for a streetwear-esque spin, with meldingutilitarian and gorpcore aesthetics decorating models fiercely stomped down the runway.

As well as referencing camping on holiday, Zinko also referenced the lifestyle through the journey of humans nomad origins to present day. All about cropped hoodies, wide sweatpants, caps, and cargo pants, the concept is also a nod to the war in her home country of Ukraine, present in the backpacks that doubled as vests, distressed textiles, and nylon reminiscent of tents’ material. Zinko transformed Soho Square into an emo campsite, even gathering a crowd of curious onlookers outside.

But what we loved the most about the show was her desire to normalize underwear. She said: “In a polarised world, one thing that unites us is underwear. We all wear it; we all travel with it, stuff it in suitcases; so why do we hide it?.”

Sinead Gorey

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxTWMI4tzgg/?img_index=1

It doesn’t get more British than Sinead Gorey’s ‘Summer of Love’ collection. For her debut show, she paid ode to her London roots and teenage rave years by creating the ultimate clubwear collection, charged with references to her Britishness. Described in her own words as, “That’s Sarcasm, pubs, unpredictable weather, and a love of partying.”

Punk, rave, and Britpop themes were present in the acid bright colours, weed graphics, wool two pieces, and lacy biker shorts.There were even explicit references to UK culture, with patch worked stripes nodding at Kate Moss’ legendary 2005 picture at Glastonbury and Ginger Spice’s iconic Union Jacks boots.

The show also debuted her collab with Buffallo, showing off the studded leather mules and bondage platforms. With her signature playfulness and bright colors, Gorey is soon to become a staple for British party girls everywhere.

SRVC

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxX1vjtNfHO/?img_index=1

For his debut at LFW, Ricky Wesley Harriott honed in on a feeling we all know and love to hate: FOMO. The appropriately named ‘Wish I Were Here’ collection exposes how the perfection of the holiday getaways we see on social media is false, distorting clothes in a way that calls out that infamous digital face tune.

Think distorted blazers, upside-down knitwear, and cropped hoodies accentuating to-tiny waists. The Tottenham-born designer also stayed true to his signature style, showcasing transformable clothes that can be worn from the office straight to the club. From cargo pants with adjustable waistbands to leather jackets with removable sleeves, SRVC focused on melding a sci-fi utilitarian aesthetic with elevated quality. With the brand finally launching in big retailers like Selfridges this year, Harriot is the newcomer to watch.

KNWLS

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxc480_KYTI/?img_index=4

Is there anything more iconic than having Mia Khalifa close your show? We don’t think so, it’s been an exciting two weeks for the South London-based brand Knwls, debuting their collab with Gaultier at NYFW just before having a LFW show that ended in hoots and hollers. For their ‘Petrol’ SS24 collection, designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault stuck to their staples– but that didn’t mean it wasn’t innovative.

Brand superfans will recognize the signature corsets and broken leather jackets strutting down the runway, only this time they came with a rebellious twist. Feminine silhouettes contrasted with jagged spikes, scratched-out camo, and new denim washes, elevated the classics to match the theme. Inspired by a ‘need for speed’, the pair stirred up looks that seem to be fresh out of the races– and as scandalously muddy and dirty as this would expect. After partnering with a titan like Gaultier, there’s no doubt that the cult label Knwls is soon to be thrown into a stardom.

Ahluwalia

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxQcXMntUx7/?img_index=1

For her SS24 show titled ‘Acknowledgements’, designer Priya Ahluwalia focused on just that: acknowledging history’s unspoken heroes. Appropriately hosted at the cultural hub that is the British Library, the collection was filled with references to iconic figures such as Marsha P.Johnson, the 60s LGBTQ activist and drag queen.

‘Illusion knitwear’ predominated, challenging viewers to take a closer look at the clothes (and history). But what’s been causing waves post-show has been her blend of occasion wear, as she styled tracksuits under slinky party tops and beach skirts with buttons up. There’s no doubt that those double-breasted suits with neon blue striping on the sides will be everywhere in 2024.

Label signatures like the saturated orange, green, and brown colors were seen on trendy items like football shirts, flowing gowns, and varsity jackets. Zebra prints, floral motifs, and graphics of indigenous sculptures paid homage to the Ahluwalia’s African heritage, while the ‘A’ emblem seen embroidered throughout the collection directly referenced her initial. With a standing ovation as she came out at the end of the show, Ahluwalia’s success is just getting started.

Mirror Palais

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxBa07UgUKz/?img_index=1

Stakes were high for the viral brand’s second New York show, but Marcelo Gaia delivered a collection that had the internet in just as much of a frenzy as last year. The SS24 show Gaia turned up the heat by adding sexiness to their signature bows, ruffled mesh gowns, and low-waist maxi bottoms. One look in particular, a nude lace-up corset and long skirt, has Fashion TikTok on their knees. The pieces are meant to let you wear your fantasies, with soft pink and cream colors dominating alongside dreamy satin, tulle, and velvety fabrics. What caught everybody’s attention is that this collection adds diversity to their sizes, using ribbon ties and stretchy materials. From Sailor Moon-inspired bandage dresses to wide-brimmed hats as a nod to Audrey Hepburn, the dreamy inspiration is clear. Feminine icon Cindy Kimberly closed the show in a bridal dress, cementing the show as one of this season’s highlights.

Sandy Liang

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxBvM4sOxMR/?img_index=1

For Spring 2024, Sandy Liang took the concept of “I’m just a girl” and turned it into a show. The hyperfeminine, nostalgic, and whimsical ensembles had all the ballet core and coquette fans gasping in delight. We’re sure to see all the New York cool girls wearing the pleated skirts and ballerinas featured in no time. The “The Virgin Suicides” collection was inspired by Sofia Coppola’s cult film of the same name, blending its girliness with a Y2K and mermaid aesthetic. Think bow bags, graphic tees, and lot’s of shells. The color palette matched too, with icy pink, cream, and navy blue reigning the runway. Her eponymous label used to be an if-you-know-you-know brand, but this show will earn her a spot amongst the international titans.

LaQuan Smith

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxLpWyGx20k/?img_index=1

A NYFW staple, LaQuan Smith’s show had the front-row celebrities and toughest critics hollering at the sexy and provocative attire. Saweetie, Mary J Blige, Laverne Cox… all the A-listers came to see what the Queens-born designer had in store— and he did not disappoint. The afterparty at the exclusive and infamous club The Stranger will no doubt double its popularity, with guests including Parris Goebel, Tinashe, FloMilli, and Coco Jones. For Spring 24, Smith delivered an intergalactic glam dream, with sci-fi references from Barbarella and Freddy Mercury. The color palette matched just that, with metallics and colors like fuchsia, aqua, and purple taking center stage. In terms of the garments, we saw NSFW mesh bodysuits, metallic cargo pants, and strapless dresses with the highest slits possible. Smith made this one for the it-girls and confident women.

Sami Miro Vintage

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxQclSLMe_U/

For her NYFW debut, the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Finalist brought L.A. fashion to the mix. For her ‘Zero Waste’ collection, Miró showcased the upcycled garments that made celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Cardi B, and Rosalia love her brand. Her first show was highly anticipated, a warranted feeling after seeing the skin-baring creations that strolled down the runway. Everything had a DIY element as a tribute to when she reworked her thrift shop finds as a teen, from deconstructed blazers to leather cutout dresses sporting neutral colour palettes filled with cream, black, and grey. But what truly made the show was when she came out to the runway to cut a pair of long black pants into a flowing gown. That’s a big yes from us.

Buci NYC

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxHFfCGtTgP/?img_index=7

The New York label BUCI also finally made its NYFW debut, with a show that proved why its clothes are a must in every It girl’s closet. Despite her brand only being three years old, designer Mishka Ivanivic managed to weave sensuality into her ethereal aesthetic. The collection adorned flowing scarves, chic jackets, and coquette silhouettes, inspiring thoughts of an autumn daydream. The reds, browns, and ivories just contributed more to that end-of-summer feeling, but what made it stand out were the transformable pieces. Tied-up mini dresses becoming long flowing ones, adjustable skirts… BUCI didn’t shy away from highlighting what it’s famous for–and we couldn’t be more glad.

Luar

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxVmt4uO0zw/?img_index=1

The coveted spot of the week was filled by Luar, who closed NYFW by giving fashion what it needs the most right now, Raul Lopez poured his soul into the ‘Socorro’ collection, inspired by the battle between religion and hedonism, he saw in his home country of the Dominican Republic. He showed this by contrasting modesty with sexiness: peekaboo hemlines, skirts that button up to show more or less leg, and shorts with long, billowing tails. The Brooklyn-based designer also merged office attire with party clothes through grey sleek suits, LBD’s, and tan deconstructed pieces. But that’s not all; Lopez found a way to sneak his origins into the collection, filling it with a broken leather reminiscent of the walls of his home. Crowding the runway were also different versions of the Ana bag that threw the brand into the limelight. Guests Lourdes Leon, Gunna, Doechii, and JT can attest to the show’s success.
