According to fashion historian and stylist Yana Demchenko, one of the most striking trends of 2024 is metallized surfaces in clothing.
“It could be a medieval-looking corset with a skirt that resembles iron chainmail, like Alexander McQueen, or the golden dresses of ancient goddesses like Tom Ford, Alexander Vaulthier and Diesel,” he suggested.
There are other options, too: large colorful plastic sequins like 16Arlington and Proenza Schouler, mesh scales like Tory Burch, party-like glitter like Ganni, crumpled foil-like fabrics like LaPointe and Rabanne, fabrics that look like spacecraft like Coperni.
“To take the trend even deeper, metallic jeans, mirrored accessories, and anything that can make you look a bit like an alien or a robot will do the trick,” the stylist added.

In 2024, the trend towards all things “girly” is also intensifying – it’s called girlcore.
“Bows, ruffles, flounces, taffeta and all the softest and sweetest things. The tone, as always, is set in this direction by Simone Rocha and Cecilie Bahnsen. After them came Caroline Hu, Bora Aksu, Sandy Liang, Molly Goddard and many more,” Demchenko said.
She explained that there would be nothing tight or provocative, nothing that would make this “girl world” too feminine and adult.
“Cute dresses with big bows and fabric roses are often worn with Mary Janes or loafers and fun reticles, avoiding seriousness,” she advised.

According to Demchenko, the interest in preppy experienced in 2023 did not decrease in 2024. Elite school aesthetics were showcased on the catwalk by Miu Miu, Loewe, Dries Van Noten and others; so gingham jackets, pinstripe shirts, suit shorts, and dress shoes with socks will come in handy again.
“Polo neck tops and dresses took such an important place in the fashion shows of Gucci, Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood, MSGM, Carolina Herrera and other fashion houses that it is impossible not to mention them separately,” the stylist added.

Designers seem to be bored with tight styles, so they’ve come up with sculptural silhouettes for 2024. This means lots of volume and coverage, as well as special fabrics and padding that can hold their shape.
“Today, as always, JW Anderson primarily plays with silhouettes, but inspiration can also be drawn from Maison Margiela, Rick Owens, Comme des Garçons, Marni and Y/Project, who are constantly experimenting with forms,” Demchenko explained.
If such experiments seem too bold, the stylist recommended taking an example from Loewe, Khaite and Rocksanda and choosing concise items with an unusual detail in the cut, be it a deformed waist or a rounded hem.
“Please remember that the waist is rising again; This applies to both skirts and trousers. For inspiration, look at the fashion shows of Schiaparelli, Prada, Saint Laurent, 3. 1 Phillip Lim, Louis Vuitton and Hermès. “Luckily, this silhouette flatters almost every figure.”

The fashion of the 2000s, which returned victoriously to the catwalks two years ago, continues to be with us in 2024. First of all, we are talking about cuts and cuts that reveal the most unexpected parts of the body. Elegant “holes” can decorate not only evening dresses, but also casual tops, shirts and even jeans.
“Pieces dissected in strategic locations, such as paintings by Lucio Fontana, certainly attract attention. Go for conceptual solutions like The Attico, Del Core, Peter Do, Courrèges and the old guard like Yohji Yamamoto and Ann Demeulemeester,” Demchenko suggested.
