Nothing gives us that fresh, back-to-school feeling like a season full of new trends, and of those there were plenty at the Autumn/Winter 2024 fashion shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris. Where the Spring/Summer 2024 collections put the spotlight on dopamine-inducing hues such as red and orange, as well as loud prints and exaggerated silhouettes, this season is all about texture, highlighting the foundation of any outfit: the fabric.
We saw it become sheer and crinkled at Preen by Thornton-Bregazzi, shimmering and embellished at Zimmermann and marbled at Roberto Cavalli. Across all cities, draped materials highlighted the female form, from Alaia to Saint Laurent. Even outerwear took on a tactile quality, with the return of the faux fur coat at Acne and Burberry and a most talked-about feather coat at Erdem.
