Iris van Herpen Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024

It’s Couture Week, people! Paris is the place to be right now, and after a sexy, sweaty men’s Fashion Week, it’s time for some haute couture. Some highlights to look forward to this season: Balenciaga is on the schedule, showing couture just once a year, plus Courrèges’ Nicolas Di Felice will present his collection as the guest designer for Jean Paul Gaultier. And while Valentino will not show this season as new creative director Alessandro Michele just joined the house in April, Chanel will present despite their creative director Virginie Viard bowing out in early June.

Chanel is intrinsically tied to nostalgia. The tweed skirt suits, the pearls, the bows; even its most modernized styles include nods to the past. It might have been this inherent retro sensibility that inspired Kerry Washington’s hairstyle for Chanel’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024 show, because her chic baby beehive was channeling ‘60s icons like Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn — but updated in a way that’s so true to her mercurial beauty style. In other words, totally fresh.

Someone recently remarked to Daniel Roseberry, “People don’t buy Schiaparelli, they collect it.” That comment crystallizes the fashion fanaticism so many acolytes feel towards the house. And surely many collections will be enriched by the haute couture collection Roseberry, Schiaparelli’s artistic director, unveiled today in Paris.

Rihanna is always switching up her style, but if one thing remains constant, it’s her love for vintage grailes designed by John Galliano. On Thursday, the singer was in Paris for launch of boyfriend A$AP Rocky’s creative agency AWGE during the city’s men's fashion week. She was photographed arriving at Le Royal Monceau wearing a stunning vintage red Christian Dior coat from Galliano’s Fall/Winter 2002 ready-to-wear collection.

In Paris, you can spot a Giambattista Valli couture show from a mile away. Clients and street style stars wearing puff tulle dresses in all shades of vibrant saffron yellows, baby pinks, and rich blues flood the area like pieces of shiny hard candy against the flat, gray cobblestone. And today, for the designer’s fall 2024 haute couture show, he stuck to what he knows: big tulle dresses with excessive volume that move like nothing else. But with one twist—an Indian influence coupled with his usual vision of Italian opulence.

For ArdAzAei’s first collection on the official calendar, Swedish-Iranian designer Bahareh Ardakani created a dream world of other dimensions. The trained gemologist looked to theoretical physics, geometry and the concept of string theory to create a lineup that was heavy on mathematically generated shapes. Calabi–Yau curves, a visualization of how the different dimensions could be connected, were taken straight off of a text tablet page then translated into textiles.

Avril Lavigne continues to display her unique punk rock style while attending fashion shows in Paris. At the June 26 Elie Saab show presenting the brand’s fall 2024 collection, the “Girlfriend” singer wore black leather platform sandals with a vivid purple sequined jacket.

PARIS -- The show must go on, with aplomb. Chanel’s latest couture display Tuesday was a finely executed collection channeling theatricality. Few Parisian fashion houses can fill the Paris Opera and gain applause from Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and other luminaries without even having a designer. It's a testament to Chanel’s enduring power and its world-renowned atelier following Virginie Viard's abrupt exit on June 5.

When the heatwave is over and the haute Chanel bows have been appropriated by the high street, what will Paris Couture Fashion Week autumn/winter 2024 be remembered for? With the city in the midst of heavy construction ahead of the Olympics, it’s fair to say the French were feeling a soupçon stressé, but this was nothing that a game of celebrity front-row spotting couldn’t solve. Even Miranda Priestly, who stopped by Demna’s show to see whether the devil really does wear Balenciaga, was down for a healthy game of couture theatrics. Here, the biggest talking points from the most recent round of couture shows.

Vogue World Paris, organized into sections by decade, opens in the 1920s with Chanel dresses from 2024 and three recreations from designs made 100 years before. The clothes we see and admire today are connected to this decade of modernity, the one in which the natural female form was finally set free within clothes. Support corsets might be worn, but the fashionable silhouette mostly followed the lines of the body and was no longer constructed from within and shaped with hoops and wires. Instead a dress was more like “a machine for living,” with the sleek simplicity of all Art Deco design. At this turning point, fashion wiped the slate clean: “This new simplicity-by-elimination,” wrote Vogue in 1924, wasn’t “in the least what Mrs. Littletowns’s [the American customer] mother’s generation had considered ‘French,’ they were too sensible.”

Paris has been buzzing. From men’s fashion week to haute couture, then later this month the 2024 Olympics, the City of Light has been host to a caravan of editors, influencers, and celebrities, all while it prepares for the opening ceremony and series of games to come. All that said, the logistical feats, including traffic jams and bridge closures, didn’t deter the couturiers from architecting elaborate shows and expanding the very notion of what couture may look like this modern day.

From The Fantastical To Subversive, Haute Couture Week Was Full Of Surprises

After enduring the rainiest spring Paris has seen since 1886, we can finally see the sunlight at the end of this (soggy) tunnel—and Parisians couldn’t be more excited for summer temperatures. Since these past few months of drizzles have allowed for only closed-toe shoes and water-repellent, springtime stompers, French girls have been quick to slip on their new summer footwear this warm, sunny week.

Robert Wun reflected on the fragile, transient nature of beauty — and clothing — in his fall collection, titled “Time.” With his habitual surrealistic flair, he thought about how the loveliest things in life, from flowers and snowflakes to a good wool coat eaten by moths over the winter, are ultimately fated to disappear. “Nothing lasts forever, and that’s the beauty of it,” said the designer.
