After several seasons of the "quiet luxury" trend characterised by neutral tones and understated basics, fun exploded back onto the runway in Paris as designers presented their spring-summer 2024 collections. From hulking lobster necklaces and dresses made out of fake nails to a runway mishap involving a giant furball, Jennifer Ben Brahim brings us the highlights. She also takes us on a tour of a trove of fashion artefacts amassed by the late Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa. His vast personal collection is currently on show at Paris fashion museum the Palais Galliera.
