Spring/Summer 2024 Trends: Fashion Week Highlights
New (and highly anticipated) debuts, goodbye to historic creative directions and new stylistic codes destined to become those classic and essential spring/summer 2024 trends.
This is what the fashion month of the year leaves us, confirming that “ Fashion is not just about clothes, but about every kind of change”, as Karl Lagerfeld said.
In the past few weeks, Milan and Paris have seen the parade of the new ready-to-wear collections of the most important international fashion houses.
And in that quiet luxury that was the common thread of that sartorial approach central to both Fashion Weeks, a touch of bold creativity was certainly not lacking.
Straight from the runway, here are the 5 spring/summer trends to keep an eye on.
Quiet Luxury: Farewell to the Glitz
The undisputed star of 2023, quiet luxury is more of an approach to fashion than a trend destined to vanish within a few months.
That concept of discreet, subtle and sophisticated luxury has come to life in garments capable of emphasizing the essence of luxury rather than its ostentation.
The gaze falls on Max Mara and its delicate, elegant but characterful collection, inspired by the heroines of the “Women's Land Army” , a British organisation of the 1940s made up of women engaged in agriculture to make up for the food shortages during the war.
The style is workwear, the glamour is imperative.
From comfortable jumpsuits in neutral palettes to deep blue dresses cinched at the waist with a belt, the ready-to-wear is more than visible.
The same goes for Gucci, with the highly anticipated debut of Sabato de Sarno.
With midi skirts paired with subtle knitwear and monochrome sweatshirts, denim trousers and blouses accented with more or less exposed highlights, the new collection presents a real boost to that essential , ready-to-wear, luxurious practicality.
Less is more , therefore, also for the next season.
The return of shorts among spring/summer trends
In 2024, shorts will be noticed, given their (omni)presence on the runways of Milan and Paris.
Shorts are a timeless classic of summer clothing, reinterpreted year after year with cuts, models and lengths capable of adapting to any type of style.
Burgundy varnished for Gucci, knitted style for Max Mara and tailored cut for Prada .
The fluid elegance of chiffon and fringe
Flowing, refined, almost dreamlike movements are enhanced by light skirts, elegant dresses and sheath dresses made of voile and chiffon.
Next season will undoubtedly be pervaded by that typical spring romanticism accentuated by the proposals of Prada, Givenchy, Blumarine and Maison Margiela.
These are the fashion houses that, more than any other, have captured the lightness of spring with collections that create an atmosphere of grace and delicacy that ends in more or less sparkling fringes.
When it comes to spring/summer 2024 trends, fringes are a great candidate.
Proposed in different lengths, thicknesses and fabrics, cascading on the sides of blazer dresses (Alexander McQueen) or placed on pencil skirts (Gucci).
Crystal Gaze: all-over sequins
Fashion Weeks have enchanted us with the glamour of sequins, capable of transforming accessories into true masterpieces of light and sophisticated brilliance.
We find them applied almost everywhere: from Prada skirts that sparkle under the spotlight, to Valentino dresses that capture attention without difficulty, to Gucci bags that show off a magnetic shine.
Spring/Summer Trends: Color Palettes
The contrast between delicate pastel shades and bold vibrant chromes will be the protagonist of the next season.
Just look at the blue proposed in Fendi's dresses illuminated by gloves and accessories in the most bright shades.
And Versace, with a return to the 60s, offers suits in pink , yellow and baby blue shades.
If the delicacy of these shades enchants us all, burgundy and indigo will be the undisputed protagonists of the next season: there is no Maison that does not include them in its collection.
