Copenhagen: Butter Yellow
First seen on the SS24 runways at Bottega Veneta, Proenza Schouler Tory Burch and Loewe, butter yellow has seeped through the sartorial cracks and made its way onto the streets of Copenhagen for the FW24 season. Bright enough to please the maximalists and yet just neutral enough for those who don’t get on with colour, this soft shade of yellow works as well on its own as it does paired with other hues — and it has since been all over the FW24 Milan Fashion Week runways, embraced by the likes of Bottega Veneta, Bally, Gucci, Diesel and Jill Sander.
New York: Corporate Minimalism
Workwear is getting a minimalist upgrade. From the grey pinstripes at Adeam and the beautifully flowy fabrics at Brandon Maxwell to the rounded shoulders at Khaite and the precise yet fluid tailoring at Michael Kors, the NYFW runways were all about embracing the less is more principle with pared-back colour palettes, softer silhouettes, and dynamism through textures.
London: Birds of a Feather
Forget about feather-trimmed pyjamas: this upcoming Fall/Winter season, feathers are taking centre stage. From David Koma to Erdem, Richard Quinn and Preen By Thornton Bregazzi, they fluffed up the London Fashion Week runways in every way possible, swaying between playful and opulent.
Milan: Sheer Factor
In Milan, transparent materials were among the key fabrics that made their way down the runways. At Giorgio Armani, dusty blue sheer blouses were tied at the neck and paired with tailored trousers and single-breasted blazers. At Tom Ford, ultra sheer maxi dresses did all the talking. And at Dolce&Gabbana, sheer wasn’t just about a simple peekaboo moment: the whole collection was all about skin-bearing looks, from transparent silk skirts to voluminous blouses and trench coat-like dresses.
Paris: New Boho
In her debut collection as the creative director of Chloé, Chemena Kamali singlehandedly ushered in a revival of the boho trend. Her distinctive touch seamlessly blended free-spirited vibes with contemporary sophistication; the bohemian style was reflected through ethereal silhouettes, floaty blouses, frills, over-the-knee boots and a harmonious palette of earthy tones, creating an effortlessly chic look.
