Fall 2024: Clothing Trends

Fashion weeks held in February this year showed that the trend for quiet luxury is not going to leave us in the next cool season “fall/winter 2024/2025”. For example, Chemena Kamali brought back bohemian chic in her debut collection for Chloe, and Nicolas Ghesquière from Louis Vuitton showed several surreal hits. Brands like Alaïa and Missoni experimented with textiles, creating unusual knitted outfits, while Balenciaga and Dries Van Noten offered new concepts in the field of daywear. At Diesel Glenn Martens and Acne Studios, stunning options with faux fur were spotted. Coach and Prada presented beautiful looks for parties, and Dior and Max Mara “power” suits for top managers. Regardless of the circumstances or personality type, it seems that there was something for everyone on the catwalk. And in this review, we will tell you about it.

And a bow on top

The symbol of girlish grace graced the catwalks, and in a variety of colors and styles. Prada placed them on bright cardigans, pencil skirts, handbags, etc. Stuart Vevers of Coach drew inspiration for his "knots" from the style of 80s proms - with silk taffeta skirts and giant bows. While Vivienne Westwood creative director Andreas Kronthaler "played" with the Victorian era, recalling its grand royal confections, and integrated silk bows into the looks to create a romantic mood.

Masterful counterfeit

Fashion is increasingly moving away from animal fur, switching completely to its artificial counterpart. And it’s not just about ethics, but also about creating new textures. Acne Studios worked with exaggerated silhouettes, turning models into peculiar phantoms. Deisel, on the other hand, plunged headlong into exploring new possibilities, experimenting with denim. On the catwalk, one could see jackets with acid spots and inclusions reminiscent of yak wool and the aesthetics of 90s club life. And Miu Miu amazed with artificial fur coats in the style of “gangster wives”.

Loop row

Looped knitwear was presented in various forms, from voluminous coats to column dresses. It’s amazing how a tuft of merino wool can be transformed into a fashionable pompom collar or cuff on a sleeve, as seen on outerwear and dresses in Peter Mulliez’s Alaïa collection. And knitwear specialist Missoni revisited eveningwear, which consisted of countless loops of knitwear. At Stella McCartney, looped textures were used in search of an alternative to animal fur. None of the fur was harmed, and the dramatic nature of the looks was preserved.

Bohemian Chic

Boho made a triumphant return to the catwalks, giving everyone a delicate, powerful and feminine form. Flowing fabrics, from sheer to printed, with a light and airy feel, with fringe-like ruffles, gave the looks movement and broke the usual pattern of fall collections. Etro and Rabanne took a free-spirited approach in their collections, wrapping models from head to toe in paisley or draping them in fringed fabrics without sacrificing style. Chemena Kamali received praise for her carefree boho looks with a touch of drama and, most importantly, bright details – from floral dresses and romantic blouses to daring jeans.

Molten Metal

There was nothing in common with the futurism with which metallics are usually associated in fashion at the shows. Rather, in the new interpretation, it resembled mirrored or molten surfaces, as if poured onto dresses and suits, which created the feeling of liquid clothing. The silhouettes of Jason Wu dresses seemed familiar, but they shone like gilded gold. Models raced in Ferraris in shiny silver suits, like desperate racers on their way to the finish line. Louis Vuitton with Nicolas Ghesquière also “shone” at the past Fashion Weeks, presenting airy sleeves, tight trousers and spectacular sequins.

New life for “old” things

This trend will make fashionistas excited. It changes the way we think about basics like sweatshirts, pants, tees, etc. They are no longer the first thing you grab when you get out of bed to walk the dog. They are fashion artifacts, like Balenciaga, who combined three sweatshirts into a punk dress. Or Dries Van Noten, who presented an oversized sweatshirt with dramatic draping. And Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently left Valentino, turned the classic black sweatshirt into eveningwear, creating it in shiny satin with a long train. The look is relaxed and elegant at the same time.

Office Party

The business dress code has also been reconsidered, acquiring a fun, exciting energy. Now it is suggested to go to the office “with glitter”. For example, Tory Burch’s fitted coats and overalls acquired a festive touch thanks to fringed boas, and Sportmax’s long-sleeved boleros were decorated with glitter. Jun Takahashi from Undercover also presented styles designed for maximum “wow” effect.

Strong players

Taking your professional wardrobe to the next level with suits – from tailored to relaxed and oversized, whatever your style preference. You’ll literally radiate confidence in executive-style clothes. Alexander McQueen recalled the 80s Wall Street bigwigs’ designs with stripes and a sharp shoulder line. Max Mara, on the other hand, brought drama and a free spirit to its creations, so you can get through a stress-free day at work. And Maria Grazia Chiuri from Dior offers women looks suitable for intercontinental travel and evening cocktails.
