GO OUTSIDE
For AW24, FENDI headed to the highlands for a spot of shooting, hunting, and fishing – all inspired by HRH Princess Anne, and featuring durable waxed jackets, prim pleated skirts and, of course, an array of sensible knits.
WATERSPORTS
Swimming caps at the office? Sounds silly? Not at all at PRADA, where it became a new take on easy, everyday gym-to-office wear from the Mrs Prada and Raf Simons school of perversion.
THE GREATEST DANCER
Inspired by the iconic ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, the DIOR collection featured ballet slippers, jewelled embellishment, and dance-rehearsal layering – all whilst feeling totally wearable.
AN ENGLISH ROSE IN PARIS
Making her Paris debut, London-native MARTINE ROSE knows how to disrupt, and her AW24 show was suitably chaotic. Look to her to teach you how to perfectly pair slouchy sportswear and fine tailoring.
SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT
A new, darker, grittier GUCCI is the order of the day: clean block colour palettes and sharp tailoring, mixed with nods to the gym with sports duffle bags and backpacks.
GO WEST
At LOUIS VUITTON, Pharrell may have taken us way out to the Wild West, but it was the monogram shell-suits that got our attention.
COAT CHECK
The GIVENCHY design team flexed their outerwear muscles: oversized, shrunken, long-line, cropped. You want classic? They did it. You need a fur covered in cat embroidery? Of course they did that too.
FULLY LOADED
No one does luxury like HERMÈS, and for AW24 we got a full wardrobe including sports jackets, half zip rain coats, and expertly cut leather trousers.
