Ujoh's luxurious AW24 collection channels 80s nomadic elegance and was a stunning display of sartorial sophistication. AW24 drew inspiration from Bruce Weber's iconic "Men & Women" photography series from the 1980s. Designer Mitsuru Nishizaki masterfully translated the essence of that bygone era into a modern, luxurious wardrobe for the contemporary urban nomad.
Read MoreWhen asked about the mesmerizing motifs adorning her creations, Tolegen revealed that they were crafted in a historical style, yet generated through the innovative power of AI. The textiles she had chosen were nothing short of lavish, and upon closer inspection, the level of exquisite detail was truly awe inspiring.
Read MoreWhat this designer does so well is textiles. Nie actually teaches you how to appreciate textiles in this trilogy. Anybody can design a long sleeve maxi dress with a scoop neckline. The fabric that is used is the foundation of the design.
Read MoreI have been trying to get into the Marques show for years now. Technically, I still haven't gotten in but that's okay, there are other ways to see a collection. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Paris showroom for Marques 'Almeida. I desperately wanted to see their AW24 collection. When I finally went through the collection, I was so glad that I did not see it on the runway first.
Read MoreFast and furious they came down the runway, one after another moving at a pace that I had difficulty keeping up with because there was so much to appreciate in each look.
Read MoreArguably the sexiest collection I've seen this season, Atlein brought a lot confidence forward. AW24 is full of sporty pieces that translated so well into some workwear and lots of dramatic evening wear. The draping of the slinky looks were so masterfully done that it will probably look good on just about anybody.
Read MoreThe show started out mildly enough with a red dress and medium sized shoulders. It quickly jumped to a black zip up dress with extremely exaggerated hips and arms, parts on a woman that we traditionally feel sensitive about.
Read MoreWhat sets Tenot's collection apart is the meticulous attention to detail and the profound thought that goes into each piece. Every garment is a labor of love, a testament to the designer's dedication to her craft.
Read MoreThe presentation at the Temple de Pentemont felt like a quintessential London affair, evoking a sense of nostalgia even for those who had just experienced the city's vibrant fashion scene mere weeks ago. The collection's punk-meets-graduating art student vibe was a refreshing departure from the typical Parisian polish, reminding us of the raw energy and creativity that London is known for.
Read MoreTo the average person this fashion show would have seemed more like an art exhibition. Which it was, truly. But to a fashion designer you can sense the massive undertaking of these creations. In order for them fit and move with the body, they have to be masterfully executed.
Read MoreI loved the usage of traditional menswear throughout the entire collection as well as the appearance of plus sized models that have all but disappeared since 2022. Harris Reed was the only designer that I saw this season that still incorporated more robust body types. I didn't even realize Ashley Graham walked until I looked through my photos.
Read MoreIt is apparent that Ariane Theunissen now knows exactly who she is as a young designer. My companion noted that this collection felt "very LA". Perhaps it's just a matter of time before the entertainers and celebs get their hands on it.
Read MoreThe Litskova AW24 collection was a powerful statement of the brand's commitment to sustainability and its support for Ukraine. The designer, Lilia Litkovska, has always been known for her ecological approach to fashion, and this collection was no exception.
Read MoreThere is an underlying sense of humor in this collection that I think only working moms understand. It might all seem like a hot mess but we'll pull it together in the end and it's going to be fantastic. Trust the process.
AW24 is designer Alessandro Vigilante's first season with Rochas. I was completely blown away by his debut. Everything about this collection was divine, it's a new perspective on elevated loungewear. Loungewear for the wealthy eccentric.
Read MoreThere was a large loom right as we entered and after taking a quick look around we noticed a couple of more looms and artisans weaving away on them. Lots of nostalgic old VHS tapes were strewn about amongst brightly colored yarn.
Read MoreWhen I heard that the Anrealage AW24 collection was based on Doraemon I was ecstatic. The presentation took place under a bridge along the Seine at Pont Alexandre III. I had no idea this space even existed and it felt like Paris opened a magic portal just for the show.
Read MoreAfter the wonderful showroom visit, I walked down to the Rue Saint-Honoré. At the corner of Chanel and Dior, I couldn't help but think that ArdAzAei's collection is way too precious for mass-market companies like these. Her designs truly shine above the rest, embodying a level of artistry and attention to detail that sets her apart in the industry.
Read MoreThis collection was the first one that I could really see myself in. Previous collections were beautiful but not applicable in my everyday life. This collection however, I can imagine wearing out on my good days...the ones when I'm not in sweats.
Read MoreThis season he was inspired by "Orlando". When I think of "Orlando", I think of Tilda Swinton's movie version in which the main character lives through time and space and in different genders. It is a beautiful story of changing circumstances and perceptions through time and relativity.
