Fashion Week Highlights: Designers Pay Homage To Brand Archives

Signs with fashion executive and designer Peter Nygard's name, in Winnipeg

Paris Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2024 concluded with a series of remarkable shows from renowned designers. Nicolas Ghesquière marked his ten-year anniversary at Louis Vuitton with a futuristic collection that paid homage to his past creations and the brand's heritage. The show, held at the Louvre, captivated over 4000 attendees.

Following Vuitton's grand finale, a surprise Saint Laurent Menswear show took place at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection. The collection, inspired by Yves Saint Laurent himself, featured 80s power suits and a departure from the previous womenswear line.

Virginie Viard transported Chanel back to its roots with a collection reminiscent of the brand's early days in Deauville. The show celebrated Gabrielle Chanel's beginnings and featured sailor-inspired designs and classic tweed pieces.

Chloé's new creative director, Chemena Kamali, reintroduced the iconic 'Chloé Girl' with romantic blouses, sheer dresses, and the revival of the 'Paraty' bag. The collection paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld and captured the essence of Chloé's bohemian chic aesthetic.

At Alexander McQueen, Sean McGirr faced challenges in his debut collection, drawing inspiration from the brand's archives but receiving mixed reviews. However, there is potential for growth and evolution in his future collections.

Stefano Gallici showcased a sophisticated collection for Ann Demeulemeester, blending roughness with fragility through chiffon dresses and structured tailoring. The collection highlighted his deep connection with the brand.

Coperni's Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant continued to innovate with a new 'Swipe Bag' made from NASA materials, creating a buzz on social media. Miu Miu's playful blend of childhood and adulthood in their collection resonated with a diverse audience, featuring a mix of ladylike attire and teenage experimentation.

Paris Fashion Week saw a record-breaking 108 shows in under ten days, culminating in a diverse and inspiring display of creativity from top designers, offering a glimpse into the future of fashion.
