micro shorts
Short skirts are good, but short shorts are better. At least that’s what most designers decided. Sabato de Sarno included a dozen different micro shorts in his first collection for Gucci. The new creative director of Italian House suggests combining options made of suit fabric with jackets from the set or coats with “shoulders” of the same color and voluminous hoodies from patent leather models.
Denim micro shorts were presented by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen’s farewell show. For a quarter of a century he labored for the benefit of the English House; He also joined hands with Alexander McQueen. They sent him off with loud applause and the song “Heroes” by David Bowie. Those present could not contain their emotions; Even Naomi Campbell wiped tears from her face as the show closed.
reptile skin
Leather palms will still not give up to anyone and will remain the most relevant material. Embossed, quilted, with a vintage effect, imitating denim – fashion maestros for the coming spring and summer recommend experimenting not so much with the cut, but with the help of texture. The reptile effect will be an absolute hit.
The first Tom Ford collection after Tom Ford’s departure included a variety of crocodile skin items: trench coats, jacket and micro shorts sets, two-pieces with a jacket and skirt, accessories. American House’s new creative director, Peter Hawkins, has discreetly dyed everything in fall colors, from browns to burgundy and khaki. The palette is also supplemented with classic black, ink and turquoise tones.
Many designers relied on snake print. Harris Reed presented matching overall looks as part of its new collection for Nina Ricci. Everything from the appliques to the shoes was made of reptile skin.
knitted things
Knitting is a remarkable trend for the 2024 spring-summer season. It closely reflects the trend of “naked” clothes: with loose weaves such as tulle or chiffon, underwear is clearly visible, and in its absence the appearance of the figure is revealed. models.
Jonathan Anderson created mini summer dresses with bob necks for JW Anderson and a chunky knit poncho with gold accent buttons for Loewe. The Alexander McQueen collection included gorgeous tops and sweaters in three-dimensional floral patterns: Sarah Burton designed the former with tasseled leather skirts and the latter with denim micro shorts.
Missoni creative director Filippo Grazioli knitted trousers from yarns in “bird’s milk” shades: cream, coffee and lemon. Models wore them with completely transparent T-shirts. Similar dresses were also displayed on the catwalk, unexpectedly accompanied by black nylon tights.
eaves
With the light hands of designers, another fashion trend will make a triumphant comeback from the 2000s: boho chic. Visual evidence of this is not only things in macrame style, but also the ubiquitous fringe.
Giorgio Armani dressed tops with long, hanging cobalt-coloured threads, and Sarah Burton found an even more interesting use for knitting – sewing it into the skirts of corseted evening dresses. Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada added fringe to the office bodice by embellishing shirts and suit shorts, while Sabato de Sarno embellished straight double-breasted coats.
Metallic effect fringes were mostly on the catwalks. Julien Dossena has reached the top with his new collection for Rabanne. After poring over Paco Rabanne’s archives, he dressed the models in his signature chainmail with gold and silver threads.
gloves
The most desired item of the coming spring and summer months are gloves. When asked which ones exactly, the designers decisively answer: “Any one!” High-cut versions made of lace and transparent fabric completed the loud luxurious look at Moschino’s anniversary show, dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Italian house. Feather models on the shoulder gave new meaning to the sparkling white dresses in the new Sportmax collection.
Anthony Vaccarello gave the models a pair of short leather motorcycle gloves, which they wore under large bracelets. Saint Laurent’s new collection suggests going on safari and doing it with skirts and trousers with cargo pockets, button-up T-shirts and transparent long sleeves.
Racing gloves were also seen at the Ferrari fair. Rocco Iannone recommends wearing these with the overalls worn by Formula 1 pilots.
accent accessories
The maestros showed off gloves of all kinds, as well as many non-trivial accessories, including belts. Khaite founder Katherine Holstein urged girls to control themselves, namely to tie their shorts and trousers with leather belts with closed tassel buckles. Blumarine creative director Nicola Brognano used two special butterfly belts at the same time, while Jonathan Anderson replaced the belts in the new Loewe collection with metal pins.
Erdem CEO Erdem Moralıoğlu used a metal dragonfly instead of a textile bow tie. While Daniel Roseberry (Schiaparelli) placed giant crab and scorpion necklaces on the models, Glen Martens (Y/Project) literally warmed up the snakes on the models’ necks.
