Gazette favorite from SS24 RTW

The last day of fashion month ends in Paris, the pinnacle of the fashion world, where we witnessed some of the most defining moments of the SS24 season. From Peter Do's highly anticipated Paris debut to the return of ready-to-wear runways by Maison Margiela and Mugler, and, of course, the blockbuster spectacles that the city's major fashion houses—Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Dior—have in store, an eventful finale, indeed.

MIU MIU SPRING 2024

Hermès Spring 2024

Hermès presentations consistently provide a serene haven amidst the chaos of Paris Fashion Week, akin to the sartorial equivalent of ASMR. A fashion house that has epitomized Quiet Luxury for nearly two centuries. The show venue at Garde Républicaine underwent a transformation with the incorporation of real reeds, grasses, and wildflowers, because Hermès' definition of luxury is inherently natural.

Gucci 2024 RTW

Was it just us or did Sabatto de Sarno's attempt to go back to the roots feel pretty refreshing? After many seasons we finally breathing in the desire to purchase pieces from the Gucci collection.

Saint Laurent 2024 RTW

Well-styled if you ask us and while some might say it was monotomous, or YSL could try harder, or Zara can copy this by this weekend, one thing to keep in mind, Anthony vacarello knows his customers and he delivers. No antics required.

Alexander McQueen 2024 RTW

The fashion community bid an emotional farewell to Sarah Burton, the meticulous talent from Cheshire who has steered Alexander McQueen since SS11. Sarah is, undeniably, a devoted member of the McQueen family, having first joined in 1997. Over the course of her tenure, she assumed the roles of both the steadfast companion to the late Lee McQueen and his esteemed successor, preserving his fascination with old England and the British countryside while refining his London-inspired creations into something more harmonious. This enduring legacy was palpable to everyone in the room, especially to Naomi Campbell, who concluded the show with tears in her eyes.

Missoni Spring 2024

"Weightless, put-together layering” is how the Italian house described a show. A very summery collection full of lightness and transparencies, in a pastel rainbow palette that I found sexy. I definietely see myself wearing one of these creations.

Christian Dior Spring 2024 Honestly, we are still find ourselves waiting for another galliano-esque era. The house of Dior never recovered from Galliano leaving. He was brilliant in capturing the essence of Dior and yet let his own shine through. It would be nice to see maybe someone like Zac Posen to take over Dior. Imagine the red carpets we would get! But rumor has it Alessandro Michelle is taking over for her at Dior. So we'll just have to wait and see.

Peter Do

Shown in a primarily black-and-white color palette (how very Giulia of peter ) , mostly wearable his colletion certainly isn't overcomplicated, but with a special details that deserve to be seen up close.

Courrèges Spring 2024

We loved it. For those who didn't know the brand is a a futuristic label from the 1960s that has since garnered attention in the fashion scene for its boundary-breaking runways and its ability to make simplistic clothing sexy Achieving sexual appeal is like walking a tightrope; too much, and it turns tasteless, too little, and it feels awkward. Courrèges has nailed it on the head, balancing clothes you can actually wear day-in, day-out, with a naughty nod.

Pierre Cardin showed it’s spring 2024 collection in Paris. Pierre Cardin? Or Pierre Cadeau? Unfortunately It gave us a costume vibe.

Bottega Veneta Spring 2024.

To us the artistry was on point! Matthieu Blazy has once again achieved something extraordinary unveiling a collection for the fourth time that not only elevates the fashion story but also strikes a chord with everyday life.

Loewe Spring 2024 BY Jonathan Anderson

In a season when many designers have been delving into the concept of practicality—crafting garments for everyday life—Jonathan Anderson takes a bold step to challenge the norm. This was the term he employed to characterize his presentation, hosted within the courtyard of the Château de Vincennes on the outskirts of Paris. Inside the expansive space, a sizable Loewe-branded grey structure had been erected and adorned with metal artworks by American sculptor Lynda Benglis. Jonathan referred to the collection as "a strict offering of daywear" and "a practical one."

GIVENCHY SPRING 2024

Fendi Spring 2024 by Kim Jones

The color palette and color combinations were sublime. Exceptional leather work, the colour palette with the accents of orange and watery blue were chic. But we couldn't thinking MaxMara. Sorry to say but frontrow was hotter than the collection. Christina Ricci, Demi Moore, Gwendoline Christie, Naomi Watts, Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and more.
