The Fall 2024 season of Paris Fashion Week remains in full-swing. Each and every day, there’s a guaranteed thrill from the designers and fashion houses featured on the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode’s jam-packed schedule. Day five of PFW and we’ve already bared witness to Christian Dior‘s Maria Grazia Chiuri paying tribute to her predecessor Marc Bohan and watched Anthony Vaccarello double down on the sheer trend. Chemena Kamali has since made her highly-anticipated (and highly-praised) debut as Chloé creative director while Rick Owens‘ otherworldly collection left us in awe.

The post Watch: Part One of the Highlights of Paris Fashion Week Fall 2024 appeared first on theFashionSpot.

Day five of Paris Fashion Week and earlier today, Jonathan Anderson unveiled his latest collection for Loewe. Guests (including a bevy of A-list talent such as Brie Larson, Meg Ryan, Emilia Clarke and Shawn Mendes) flocked to the historic Château of Vincennes on the eastern edge of the French capital to digest Anderson’s collection inspired by the work of the late American landscape artist Albert York. Having a blatant talent for transforming something odd into something desirable and sophisticated, the Irish designer presented a lineup of eye-catching and whimsical silhouettes – adorned with floral, radish and bird motifs and often crafted from fabrics you might have found in the the living room of Anderson’s grandmother.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“That was really good. Great soundtrack as always! Much better than last season. Opening looks were elegant. Black and white draped gown felt out of place but still very nice. Loved the prints, the lettuce pants can go. The tailed tuxedo jackets were fab. The checkered gown! The appliqué checkered dress!” [youthinasia]

“Much better than the latest menswear collection! It’s focused and wearable, the weirdness is used in the right context, and the wit is still there. It also feels oddly commercial, but it shouldn’t be surprising with the brand’s expansion plan. I can also see the impact of [Adrian] Appiolaza leaving the brand, I guess he was responsible for the surreal touch.” [perhydrol]

“Very commercial but still interesting. Those matching shorts and tops and all the jumpers will sell out fast.” [tourbillions]

“A pretty damn good show from him, less gimmicks and flaws than the last 5 collections.” [yslforever]

“I think it’s a good collection! The set was a bit annoying and the presentation was far from enjoyable while watching it but the collection is good. This is not a collection that will inform fashion. It’s not a statement. It’s probably one of those collections that people will forget about but it’s good enough. There’s a consistency, an intricacy in terms of ideas that is good. I think the more commercial pieces here are fantastic. JWA is a great commercial designer!” [Lola701]

“The most beautiful looks were the commercial ones and less complicated ones. It is indeed a good collection!” [GivenchyAddict]

The post Forum Members Review Jonathan Anderson’s Albert York-Inspired Loewe Collection for Fall 2024 appeared first on theFashionSpot.

That’s a wrap on Menswear Paris Fashion Week‘s Fall 2024 season, and the festivities have been an absolute whirlwind since Pharrell Williams kick-started the fashion frenzy with his Wild West-inspired collection for Louis Vuitton, where his posse of cowboys helped redefine the American West. The first Givenchy collection post-Matthew M. Williams saw the brand invite guests inside the historic salons of 3 Avenue George V, where Founder Hubert de Givenchy crafted his creations in the late 50s until his retirement in 1995. The showcase setting proved to be the ultimate location to unveil the collection, with the in-house design team having been inspired by Monsieur Givenchy himself when compiling the 34-look collection. A dramatic soundtrack of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev filled Kim Jones’ Dior Men showcase, as Jones introduced his fist full line of menswear haute couture. Balmain returned to the PFW schedule for the first time since 2020, to which Olivier Rousteing collaborated with artist Prince Gyasi to compose a collection of bright colors, polka dots and pop art-esque motifs which harked back to the 80s. Following a season in Milan, Pierpaolo Piccioli brought Valentino’s menswear offering back to Paris for the Fall 2024 season, using a specific shade of blue as his starting point and to declare the tie as the pièce de résistance of the season.

Look no further for an unfiltered take on Menswear Paris Fashion Week’s Fall 2024 season. Check out the hits and misses, all in accordance with theFashionSpot’s forum members:

HIT | Dries Van Noten

“I f*cking SCREAMED. Chic, polished, superb, wearable, fashionable, sleek, sexy, daring, and I could continue for a long time. All the rest can go home!” [helmutnotdead]

“This might be the only brand thus far this menswear season where I would wear everything!” [notfatgoddess]

“Hands down the best men’s collection. Dries really is the best designer in Paris now, if not in fashion. The clothes are just sublime, such handsome and cinematic menswear.” [disco54]

See all the looks from the Dries Van Noten Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Acne Studios

“I’m beyond lost. What happened to this brand?” [Lola701]

“I feel that Johnny Johansson thinks he’s ahead of the curve but he’s been left way behind.” [youthinasia]

“Painful to look at. Acne went from Scandinavian cool to wannabe streetwear Palm Angels this season.” [IloveDiorHomme]

See all the looks from the Acne Studios Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Wales Bonner

“I didn’t know thrift shops were allowed to show in Paris menswear schedule…” [jeanclaude]

“Confused as to what the intention is here. It’s all just a bit stylistically haphazard in order to cater to a wider audience, which leads this to feeling like an insincere output. Why is that crushed satin dress in here? The boots with Bermuda length shorts? Everything is at odds with each other so none of it really meshes together well.” [Cocteau Stone]

“Unfortunately, this collection just confirms my doubts regarding her work. It’s still very beautiful, beautifully made, approachable but still no identity.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Wales Bonner Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Junya Watanabe

“YESSS! The Junya Watanabe that I love. No more punk sh*t.” [Kanzai]

“I willl always have a soft spot for Junya! I find this quite ambitious but still very much desirable and relatable. This is the first time in a long time that I see him doing such ambitious outerwear!” [Lola701]

“I want every single trench!” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Junya Watanabe Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Rick Owens

“He really has become a caricature of himself…” [tricotineacetat]

“To me Rick has lost the plot long time ago, now I’m watching his shows only for the amusement.” [Olaffo]

“Remember Rick Owens around 2008? When he designed sensual, easy yet bold pieces?” [IloveDiorHomme]

See all the looks from the Rick Owens Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

“Beautiful! I’m crying.” [Kanzai]

“ALL HAIL THE KING! The first stanza of the collection (1st nine looks) was perfect. Then what followed was pretty much on par with what we’ve been accustomed to by Yohji Yamamoto. The casting was incredible! Yamamoto is on the same level as Armani for me, pretty much untouchable.” [WAVES]

See all the looks from the Yohji Yamamoto Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Homme Plissé Issey Miyake

“Always enjoy Issey Miyake.” [LadyJunon]

“The silhouettes speak for themselves. this is what happens when you focus on cutting and draping instead of costume and gimmicks. Good clothes.” [gallianostan]

See all the looks from the Homme Plissé Issey Miyake Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Louis Vuitton

“Tacky. Pharrell should’ve just stuck to music. These tired singers/rappers/whatever should really stop venturing into fashion when their careers get stale.” [notfatgoddess]

“There is something very unauthentic and costume-y about this. It feels very much like he just texted the team: ‘hey let’s do a cowboys and Indians theme’ devoid of any of the cultural references or understanding what it actually means. Not that every collection needs to be deep and nuanced and referenced well but it feels very hollow and empty.” [Yasouss]

“My jaw dropped at seeing this! What a horrible, ill fitting pile of absolute sh** clothes. I thought Virgil Abloh couldn’t design but in comparison to Pharrell he was a couture god.” [90sFan]

See all the looks from the Louis Vuitton Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Givenchy

“The models faces says it all.” [tourbillions]

“Jesus, there is not a single drop of masculinity here. So unsexy.” [Alquimista]

“This is what happens when there’s no designer in sight. And the designer that just left was mediocre. And the stylist they hired to style the show is untalented to the max.” [90sFan]

See all the looks from the Givenchy Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Dior Men

“Imagine having all the budget in the world to offer absolutely nothing…” [Wolkfolk]

“The shorts, socks and ballet flat situation is tragic.” [LadyJunon]

“With all that drama, that insane budget and those grand gestures, you would expect a fitting collection…And of course we got the opposite. There’s one thing that I hate in menswear, and it’s seeing unrelatable, undesirable clothes only created for pure Drama purpose. Nobody looks good in Dior Men. Nobody will buy those pieces. Nobody is believing in this!” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Dior Men Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Loewe

“This isn’t for me and seems like a miss, also feels a bit like his own line, which isn’t bad, but this is Loewe.” [Yasouss]

“Love Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe but this was not it for me. From the clothes to the color palette, to the set, to the models, nothing worked for me this time.” [Ihhbl]

“This show makes me want to take another shower. The whole thing feels so seedy. I miss Jonathan Anderson’s 2015-19 era. Those were his best collections.” [LadyJunon]

See all the looks from the Loewe Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Hermès

“Chic and elegant and wearable – that’s all I need!” [Olaffo]

“Always love Veronique Nichanian’s work! Always masculine and so ‘low luxury’. I love Hermès’ menswear and this is exactly what I want for from a luxury brand…” [Kerg]

“A truly beautiful menswear collection, just as I have come to expect from Hermès. The styling is lovely, and the fabrics are just screaming luxury, which for me reads quintessential Hermès. A massive fan of the color palette too. Easily one of my highlights of PFW!” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Hermès Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Balmain

“I really much prefer his menswear than womenswear! This is so good.” [tourbillions]

“I do have a soft spot for Olivier because I know he loves what he does and you can see it through the clothes. I am happy with what I see even though he can be a bit literal. I love how he finds the right balance between the stunts and fashion itself.” [thiago]

“This is actually a great collection. I think it was somehow chic, much more subtle than usual and quite multi-layered. I saw some French surrealism but also Les Zazous mixed with eastern African influences but also Les Sapeurs from Congo in the flamboyance of the mix of colors.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Balmain Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Valentino

“That’s one straight- to-the-outlet shade of blue. I don’t think that Hotel Particulier was the best set to show menswear and there was a lack of energy and rhythm in the show itself. The color thing needs to stop. The collection needed a dynamic print or motif, not another tired color theme.” [Lola701]

“Where I have seen those fringe panels before? Pierpaolo Piccioli copied Phoebe Philo so literally! Shein-level of design.” [jeanclaude]

“The only good thing about this show was seeing Jeremy Young on the runway.” [Thefrenchy]

See all the looks from the Valentino Menswear Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Paul Smith

“OMG very Dries, I love it! I always adore the Paul Smith brand to be fair, their recent collections have been pretty solid.” [Kanzai]

“These are the pants that I wish Dries showed…a roomier cut, but not excessively billowing and baggy. I can’t complain about this. Sure, Sir Paul’s not really a part of the fashion conversation these days, but his clothes are wearable, practical, stylish..enough, and safe (which isn’t a four-letter word). And, his stuff won’t break the bank, either. He gets my admiration… 100%.” [engenius]

Christine Centenera has only officially been at the helm of Vogue Australia since March of this year, and within such a short space of time has managed to secure a whole bevy of A-list talent for the title’s front covers. These have included everyone from Hailey Bieber to Kylie Minogue and Adut Akech to Margot Robbie. Next up on the Australian fashion bible’s list of cover stars is Florence Pugh, who graces the November 2023 issue via the lens of photographer Lachlan Bailey. Aussie Vogue‘s latest marks the British actress’ third Vogue cover appearance in total (having appeared on American Vogue twice) and is dressed by Centenera for the occasion in a mohair Loewe jacket, a pair of Triangl swim shorts and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

In the eyes of our forum members, one element in particular was somewhat… questionable. “Those [Triangl] grandma pants really make her look short,” critiqued oaklee91.

“The styling is so bad… ouch ouch ouch!” exclaimed an unforgiving 90sFan.

“I hate the styling (especially the color of the shorts and not the shorts per se) but Pugh looks gorgeous,” voiced forum member WAVES.

Not everyone was so completely disheartened with Vogue Australia’s latest. “The first time I like Florence,” confessed caioherrero.

“I thought it was going to be terrible but I actually really like it,” a pleasantly surprised kokobombon admitted.

“It’s the fact we’ve got ourselves another Lachlan Bailey-shot cover of Vogue that’s ultimately sealing the deal for me here. Could take or leave Florence Pugh but I will admit that I’m rather fond of this whole cover/cover shoot. The colors are gorgeous and its so tastefully and effortlessly shot by Bailey,” wrote vogue28.

At times, the advertising campaigns of just about every major fashion brand from across the globe can be quite… formulaic. Leave it up to Jonathan Anderson at Loewe, however, to constantly break the mould, leaving us in absolute awe and most certainly wanting more. The brand’s Pre-Spring 2024 campaign offering has us truly captivated, with Anderson faves Dakota Fanning, Fei Fei Sun, Greta Lee, Josh O’Connor, Mike Faist, Rachel Jones and Taeyong joining none other than screen legend Maggie Smith in the Spanish luxury fashion house’s latest fashion spots.
At 88, the British actress makes for a much-welcomed and refreshing sight posing before the lens of Juergen Teller while giving us all we need – and more (a massive YES for age representation!). The British actress can be found throughout the conceptual campaign, rocking JW Anderson’s newest Loewe collection, dressed by stylist by Benjamin Bruno and in one of the unforgettable campaign images, the actress best known for her role as Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter movies and as Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey poses against a brick wall wearing a giant fuzzy coat and toting one of Loewe’s signature Puzzle bags.

Needless to say, members of our forums were huge fans of Loewe’s latest – because of Maggie. “Loving Maggie’s shots. They look fun and chic,” heralded thiago.
“To be honest, when you have Maggie Smith… it’s all you need. The other cast members and campaign images fade into oblivion. Massively here for Maggie Smith,” raved vogue28.
“Wonderful wonderful shots of Maggie Smith,” Thefrenchy applauded.

Check out Loewe’s Pre-Spring 2024 advertising campaign in all its glory and join the round of applause, here.

That’s a wrap on Paris Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 season, and fashion month is now complete. 26 days, 4 fashion capitals, 2 continents and 1 whole season of pure fashion thrills, excitement, grand finales and fresh starts.
Opening up Paris was Peter Do, who ventured from New York to showcase his wears within the French capital for the very first time, delivering a collection of cropped blazers, deconstructed tailoring and sheer blouses. Next up was Maria Grazia Chiuri at Christian Dior, where the designer gave a stark (and slightly haunting) feminist statement in collaboration with artist Elena Bellantoni. Anthony Vaccarello was soon unveiling a re-do of the iconic safari look at Saint Laurent, first made famous by Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent back in 1968. The look was updated in the chicest way possible, with gloves, bangles, statement earrings and killer heels finishing off each look. At Courrèges, models walked on friable concrete and just two weeks after Balmain’s collection was stolen, Olivier Rousteing gave us a lesson in volume and sculpture (as well as… resilience). Chinos, denim and stripes were on the agenda at Dries Van Noten – “normal clothes” as the designer himself called them. For spring, Julien Dossena is dressing the Rabanne woman as a warrior, dripping in chain mail (because, what else?). Gabriela Hearst was soon taking her final bow (and dance cue) as creative director of Chloé, going out with a bang by finishing off the brand’s River Seine-set showcase with a live performance from Brazil’s legendary Mangueira samba school. Rick Owens made sure he gave us a show we won’t forget quickly, with models looking otherworldly in his designs, complete with fog cannons engulfing the Palais de Tokyo. Daniel Roseberry revisited an Elsa Schiaparelli signature: the lobster, asking Kendall Jenner to close his Schiaparelli offering wearing a full lacquered fingernail dress. At Loewe, Jonathan Anderson focused on altering proportions and Yohji Yamamoto proved black will always be in fashion. Tailoring met athleisure (and technology) at Coperni, models walked through a makeshift meadow at Hermès and a standing ovation was awarded to Sarah Burton as she rounded out her tenure at Alexander McQueen. Nicolas Ghesquière paid homage to the ultimate Parisian woman at Louis Vuitton, evoking Vuitton’s spirit of travel ideology and immersing guests within a room draped in vivid orange fabric. Mugler’s show wasn’t shy of Insta-worthy moments while the full genius of John Galliano was on display at Maison Margiela. Virginie Viard, always one to be rounding out the fashion festivities, foresees a youthful and optimistic spring season ahead, full of sequins, florals, lace and pastel-colored tweeds.
Go ahead and scroll down for a completely unfiltered take on Paris Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 season, all in accordance with members of theFashionSpot forums.

MISS | Schiaparelli

“I find it quite tacky and not fun at all. There are a lot of things I absolutely hate about it, from the pieces to the styling.” [Lola701]
“Yeah I think he went overboard with the camp. It looks a bit like glorified Moschino? I think that’s the audience he’s going for. People who want a traditional silhouette while still convincing themselves that they’re ‘mAkInG a StAteMeNt'” [GoldenPetals]
“The opening is the worst part. The unbuttoned skirts section was awful. The sliced skirt with bustier was terrible. The draped pieces were pretty good but the heavy fabrics weighed them down. [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Schiaparelli Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Loewe

“Too much rinse and repeat.” [VERNIQUE]
“It leaves me cold. Maybe it’s the sterile presentation.” [avonlea002]
“First time I’m not feeling JW Anderson’s Loewe (his own collection did better). I guess I’m always expecting something a bit more complex from him and this felt very… light and simple? Boring would be the best word to me.” [thiago]
See all the looks from the Loewe Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Christian Cowan

“Please make it stop.” [gallianostan]
“Go back to New York this has nothing to do in Paris…” [badgalcrush]
“Its so easy to hate this. Pure trash clothing, stuff appears literally cobbled together. Stupid gimmicks shown multiple times for some reason. No actual fashion here.” [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Christian Cowan Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Lanvin

“This is sad to see. Really sad.” [Cocteau Stone]
“Did they just give up? This brand has fallen so far!” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Lanvin Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Rick Owens

“I’m such a sucker for his Dune/Cyberpunk aesthetic. I can’t help but love it. I love EVERY. SINGLE. THING.” [GoldenPetals]
“Extremely well made and intriguing. Love the colors as well.” [Ihhbl]
“I do love the boots. They are fab.” [TaylorBinque]
See all the looks from the Rick Owens Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Rabanne

“A strong combination of metal and finesse.” [VERNIQUE]
“It’s definitely the strongest Dossena’s collection at Rabanne so far. It’s such a fascinating collection.” [perhydrol]
“Damn. This is gorgeous. I think my favorite collection this whole season. What a great interpretation of Paco. I love how fantastical it is, while still being grounded and wearable. I can’t even decide on a favorite piece. But the one with the peacock feathers is truly something else.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Rabanne Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Christian Dior

“I will not acknowledge a collection presented on that set.” [gazebo]
“How are Maria Grazia Chiuri’s clothes always so drab, ugly, and unappealing? And still with the slogans!” [MyNameIs]
“I HATE it when fashion houses shoehorn political theatrics into their show to dress up a collection that’s otherwise fine on its own. Here, it seems very forced and distracting because it’s so irrelevant.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Christian Dior Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Alexander McQueen

“Damn I’m so emotional right now.” [prylvi]
“I love it. Fierce tailoring, so elegant. Great casting too.” [Not Plain Jane]
“It was an amazing farewell collection. Some pieces are stunning. The gold was a great surprise, the thick knitwear piece, the tailoring as always and that shade of red is perfect. The cast was also great. Well done, Sarah!” [WAVES]
See all the looks from the Alexander McQueen Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Givenchy

“I like it. Looked chic and some Givenchy codes were there. It’s a step up and I see some progress.” [Ihhbl]
“Probably Matthew Williams’ best collection. But something about the entire thing is timid and unconvincing. The chiffon draped dresses are pretty as well as the satin gown with the lace and chiffon.” [reese06]
“Did Williams get some ‘help’? A consultant designer perhaps? Because it’s the first time he fully understands what it means to be at Givenchy.” [yslforever]
See all the looks from the Givenchy Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Isabel Marant

“I find this collection terribly embarrassing…” [Lola701]
“Marant’s shows have looked the same to me for the past 8 years!” [plentyofhorns]
“Remarkably awful. The pace was sooo slow and everyone looked so miserable. What happened to Isabel Marant is really wild to me. Went from 100 to 0 real quick.” [TianCouture]
See all the looks from the Isabel Marant Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Saint Laurent

“Another sublime collection from Anthony Vaccarello, I’m a little lost for words.” [vogue28]
“A total YES for me. Amazing clothes, ultra luxurious, loyal to the brand identity but with a contemporary feeling.” [Ihhbl]
“Brilliant! What a sublime collection, sumptuous for the eyes. Its very mid 80s Rodeo Drive rich b!tch YSL but modernized in Vaccarello’s own way. Definitely one of the best shows of the season!” [disco54]
See all the looks from the Saint Laurent Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Peter Do

“I’m left feeling emotionless and uninspired.” [michael123]
“I must’ve deinfluenced myself because I’m not buying any of this anymore. Those pieces don’t really have their own identity and Peter doesn’t have an eye for colour. Every nice piece could be easily sourced elsewhere, probably with better quality.” [perhydrol]
“This looks very tortured and downright costume.” [Norden]
See all the looks from the Peter Do Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Hermès

“I love this, to me its the definition of quiet luxury.” [Urban Stylin]
“Impeccable, really.” [liberty33r1b]
“I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s so good, so luxurious and expensive. The leather work on the last looks is unretouchable. Great work and amazing casting!” [Ihhbl]
See all the looks from the Hermès Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Dries Van Noten

“I liked this. As a whole, this collection feels much closer in style and spirit to his work in the 1990s.” [Kennnnn]
“Lots of beautiful wearable pieces in this collection. Loved the colors and the styling.” [Ihhbl]
“Of course my man always delivers every season.” [Ruito]
See all the looks from the Dries Van Noten Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Balmain

“I like how completely different it is to the rest.” [Norden]
“I’m surprised by how much I like it. It was almost charming, and I can see myself wearing some pieces. Look 5 is a simple but fresh take on the three pieces suit. The green top with the pink pants is a fabulous look.” [Lola701]
“I liked it a lot. It’s not always right, sometimes bordering on costume but the craftsmanship is just incredible. Olivier Rousteing loves his job and it shows.” [avonlea002]
See all the looks from the Balmain Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Marni

“When did Marni become so clownish? Most of this is extremely difficult to look at. Such poorly edited pieces.” [GoldenPetals]
“The most confusing runway presentation ever…” [Lola701]
“All the work Consuelo did to be undone by this fool [Francesco Risso] in a couple minutes. This brand is going to broke if it keeps churning this sh*t out.” [disco54]
See all the looks from the Marni Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Undercover

“In love with every thing here…” [yslforever]
“Jun Takahashi ate and left no crumbs. Stunning!” [helmutnotdead]
“Really enjoy this. At parts, it felt like he took Raf SImons’ Dior but gave it some humor and character – which is a good thing to me.” [Overindulgence]
See all the looks from the Undercover Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Courrèges

“What a fantastic collection, loved it! Sharp lines, feminine silhouettes, original use of cut. Overall, super clean and sensual too. Well done!” [WAVES]
“Very into this collection! His design language is very interesting and I love seeing him grow! Good for Di Felice!” [thiago]
“Courrèges is so hot right now. Incredible collection.” [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Courrèges Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Nina Ricci

“The more I look the more low-budget it gets.” [GoldenPetals]
“Hard to believe that Nina Ricci had money to throw away on this. Clothes for influencers with no real style.” [reese06]
“I can’t in good faith bring myself to like this. At the end of the day, they’re still cheap drag costumes, and at the end of the day, Harris Reed is horrendously untalented and does not deserve this appointment.” [gallianostan]
See all the looks from the Nina Ricci Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Maison Margiela

“P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N.” [Ihhbl]
“Literally not a SINGLE bad thing about this collection. I want literally everything. The way he comes up with new ways to ARRANGE the garment on the body is so brilliant, and that’s not even getting into how impeccably constructed each piece is. What a serve.” [GoldenPetals]
“The only designer I care about! Everything looks sooo delicious and the menswear jacket/coats are just fire. Love it love it love it!” [Olaffo]

HIT | Rokh

“Absolutely beautiful.” [Ihhbl]
“Oh this is so beautiful. There’s something very NOIR about it. I think it reminds me of Casablanca. The cuts are beautiful.” [GoldenPetals]
“There are some elegant aspects to this collection, especially the repeated motif of the trench.” [Not Plain Jane]

MISS | Chloé

“The final dance was her best effort at Chloé.” [Tchi]
“Worst Chloé collection ever!” [liberty33r1b]
“So much leather for a spring/summer collection. It can work, but it’s so heavy handed here. Lack of any lightness or actual joy. Thank god Gabriela Hearst is out now.” [Cocteau Stone]
See all the looks from the Chloé Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Louis Vuitton

“I loved it. I didn’t expect such a calm energy, soft energy from Nicolas.” [Lola701]
“I loved it… it might be one of my fave Vuitton collections. There’s an interesting mix between the 60s and 80s here – with a touch of the 2000s in the corset and pants look.” [Overindulgence]
“Loved it. I feel like I haven’t seen this type of femininity in his collections in a while. The energy seemed different here compared to his other LV shows. It was soft but still experimental in nature, so it made the few misses tolerable.” [depordetioz]

MISS | Coperni

“Courrèges by Shien.” [LadyJunon]
“I find Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant’s fashion approach so obnoxious. No kindness, no softness, no poetry, no elegance, no romance, no art, no fragility, no chaos.” [IloveDiorHomme]
“It’s all so limp. Everything has a strange rippling or bubbling because the fabrics are either cheap or not appropriately utilized, especially at the seams.” [Cocteau Stone]
See all the looks from the Coperni Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Carven

“Nice to see Carven back!” [Not Plain Jane]
“I like every single look. A very strong and cohesive collection, there is no weak look for me. I like that it’s very clean and very wardrobe-oriented. It’s full of everyday pieces but with interesting twists to grab your attention.” [THD96]
“I think it’s easily one of the strongest collections of this season. It’s relaxed and sporty in a very fascinating way.” [perhydrol]

MISS | AZ Factory

“No one asked for this.” [TaylorBinque]
“Why are they even continuing with this brand?” [tourbillions]
“Looking more and more like the Target collaboration we all collectively decided to forget. Not one salvageable look.” [YohjiAddict]

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

“The kind of work only a master can produce. Bravo.” [dancv]
“Gorgeous as always. And very calming, particularly compared to what the fashion month has been giving to us. Love those opening jackets with the ivory sleeves and the gothic-lolita polka dots (which kind of look like the moon) for a strange dose of lightness.” [Cocteau Stone]
“Beautiful, as ever. A precious jewel in a sea of sh*t.” [gallianostan]
See all the looks from the Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Mugler

“Trash. Next!” [gallianostan]
“Tacky stunts for Instagram.” [CommanderTMugler]
“I feel like this collection was only designed to have a bunch of work, slay, yaaas comments on Instagram and a bunch of snapping fingers at the show. No real fashion proposition.” [Lola701]
See all the looks from the Mugler Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Stella McCartney

“H&M?” [Mrs.T]
“Seems a bit all over the place, no coherence.” [Not Plain Jane]
“This collection bores me to death. Her fabrics always seem cheap to me. The last two dresses are straight up hideous. I’ve never understood her appeal, if there truly is one.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Stella McCartney Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Victoria Beckham

“This is so messy even for Victoria’s standards.” [youthinasia]
“Some truly utterly bizarre things here. The panty knit bathing-suit, the jersey draped sack dress thing with gray knee-highs, the sailor references? Too much confusion.” [TianCouture]
“This is a mess. Possibly her worst. Is she trying to be avant-garde or something? It’s not working Vicky.” [TaylorBinque]
See all the looks from the Victoria Beckham Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Balenciaga

“This show felt like a farewell and I REALLY hope it’s true because, well, the trick has worn out.” [perhydrol]
“It’s so suffocating, so heavy, so cynical. Just stop.” [Machinegumm]
“Watching this left me in a state of profound sadness. It’s like a funeral procession for a moment in time, both disturbing and weirdly cathartic. I have no idea where Balenciaga can go from here, this show made sure that the ghost of the last years will hover around this brand for a long time to come.” [donyan]
See all the looks from the Balenciaga Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Valentino

“It’s cold and repressed for a house with such a vibrant history.” [GoldenPetals]
“When you realize your collection is again boring and dull, so you throw money at a live performance at the show to distract people.” [90sFan]
“This brand has become such a pitiful joke. You have FKA Twigs and her clones in bodyshape-wear in a sandbox a models walk into the room like dolled up debutantes for the Vienna ball. The laser cuts designs reminded me of those wedding invitations that were popular 25 years ago. It’s high time for a change. Pierpaolo Piccioli is clearly and visibly at his wit’s end.” [VERNIQUE]
See all the looks from the Valentino Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Sacai

“Finally we see a softer side of Chitose Abe! Love it. I need these incredible black flare trousers with the matching striped balloon top.” [VERNIQUE]
“Definitely my favorite collection this season, practicality mixed with elements of sensuality and freedom. Bravo!” [Constructionist]
“The long lean trousers are delightful; the clean white section (that oversized vest!); the distorted fairisle sweaters and striped shirts; the sheer elements: it’s all so desirable.” [Not Plain Jane]
See all the looks from the Sacai Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Chanel

“For me the worst part of Virginie is that every collection just merge into the other, I really can’t tell seasons apart, always the same silhouettes, patterns, pieces, etc.” [ReneSanchez]
“This collection is like an ugly cousin of Sonia Rykiel, designed exclusively for people with no personality.” [perhydrol]
“I can’t understand why Virginie’s dresses are so ugly, she’s worked with Karl for years and seems incapable of creating an attractive black dress. The collection has no inspiration or personality, it’s just clothes, worse than that, it’s ugly clothes.” [Danilo Braz dos Santos]
See all the looks from the Chanel Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Miu Miu

“Absolute trash.” [helmutnotdead]
“The amount of branding is actually f*cking insane.” [sussienmcswanny]
“Well this was a boring dud. The clothes mediocre, the styling trying so hard that it falls so flat even before one can start laughing at it. Horrible casting of blonde, white clones of nothingness and ZERO character. What a sad finale to fashion month.” [90sFan]
See all the looks from the Miu Miu Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Ann Demeulemeester

“I really like it and it is a very good debut collection from Stefano Gallici. It was exciting, pulsating and it actually felt new.” [LadyJunon]
“This is by far the best collection they’ve done so far , and there’s real potential here.” [donyan]
“The collection is quite good, miles better than the train wrecks that this house had gotten us used to in the last few years. If Gallici continues to improve, I see hope for this brand.” [YohjiAddict]

Following a nine month hiatus, Vogue Netherlands is finally making a comeback. Prior to its relaunch, covers with Luna Bijl and Birgit Kos, Bella Hadid and Amber Valletta kept us enthralled. We’re hopeful the magazine’s new editor Yeliz Çiçek will keep the good covers coming. For March 2022, Jill Kortleve covers the revival issue with the Dutch beauty and current face of Alexander McQueen posing in Gregory Harris’ studio. Jill wears a look from Loewe’s Spring 2022 collection along with Tiffany & Co. and Monica Vinader jewelry selected by stylist Cathy Kasterine.

The cover immediately caught the attention of our forum members. “Solid. Very mid-80s American Vogue x mid-2010 Vogue Paris,” admired Phuel.

“It’s giving me Vogue Paris circa 2017 and Playboy USA circa 1988 because of its design. A predictable cover choice for the March issue, but I’m happy for Jill,” crmsnsnwflks chimed in.

“Kinda Vogue Paris by Emmanuelle Alt-ish,” echoed balmain1914.

“Quite like this, can understand why they picked Jill Kortleve for the relaunch and obviously appreciate how the cover overall is reminiscent of Vogue Paris under Emmanuelle Alt. Everything is working for me, including Jill’s moody expression,” voiced vogue28.

“While the cover isn’t spectacular, I like Jill’s expression a lot and I dig the fact they went for a close-up,” penny609 pointed out.

“Simple and effective. I like it!” exclaimed PowerDroid.

“Gorgeous! Jill has such an incredible face and the emotion is coming through the picture. Love it,” added FashionMuseDior.

After a marathon of shows and lookbook releases, fashion month is now over. Paris Fashion Week Fall 2022 was truly something to behold. It’s all thanks to the designers demonstrating more creativity and resilience than ever before.

First up was Off-White where the in-house design team and superstar cast payed tribute to Virgil Abloh. Maria Grazia Chiuri offered up perhaps her most experimental collection for Christian Dior yet. At Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello layered dresses with strong-shouldered faux fur coats and killer heels. Olivier Rousteing mixed some of Balmain‘s earliest codes with protective gear, while Gabriela Hearst gave us chic tailoring, hiking boots and recycled cashmere ponchos via Chloe. Jonathan Anderson stimulated our senses with leather, felt, latex, 3-D-printed fiber and sophisticated design motifs at Loewe’s spectacular show.

The hottest ticket in town was arguably Balenciaga where Demna Gvasalia dedicated the collection to fearlessness, resistance and victory of love and peace in solidarity with Ukraine. Valentino focused on neon pink. Moving from its usual location, Nicolas Ghesquière’s Louis Vuitton show was held at the magnificent Musée d’Orsay as all of his muses seated in the front row digested the mix of suiting, dresses and knitwear. The entire Chanel show centered around tweed as Virginie Viard found inspiration from England during the 60s. Barely-there miniskirts are here to stay, at least according to Miuccia Prada. She also gave us micro shorts at Miu Miu rounding out the week in style.
