As is now customary for Jacquemus, the brand followed its usual presentation schedule but instead invited influencers and editors to the south of France to present its Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Titled “Les Sculptures,” the collection paid homage to the late Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti and featured Kristin Davis, Julia Roberts, and Kylie Jenner in the front row, while Gigi Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski walked the catwalk.

A few weeks after Paris Fashion Week ended, Céline presented its Spring/Summer 2024 collection at the French capital’s La Bibliothèque National Richelieu, located at 16 rue Vivienne, opposite the brand’s atelier. Titled “Tomboy,” the collection “evokes Hedi Slimane’s dedication to the style and glamour of androgynous tailoring that has been a constant presence since the start of his career as a designer in the late 1990s,” the brand said. The brand also released a film to celebrate the collection, which features actress Esther McGregor and musician Stella Rose and can be viewed here.

For Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2024, Miuccia Prada explored the definition of contemporary beauty. “In a constantly changing world, beauty must reflect the complexities of our times,” the show notes read. “The collection is a reflective exploration of definitions, a reactive engagement of beauty in our times.” The result was an emphasis on individuality, expressed in both the casting and the clothes, featuring “traces of life” such as washed denim, distressed materials and marked leather, making each piece feel one-of-a-kind. The styling of the show also placed emphasis on “unexpected combinations,” contrasts meant to reflect the beauty of contemporary style and uniqueness.

Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection was inspired by the gardens of Villa Noailles, a modernist building in the hills of Hyères designed by architect Robert Mallet-Stevens in 1923. The resulting collection explored and celebrated contrasts.
“Sophistication and casualness, tweeds throughout the collection, sportswear and lace. I tried to combine one thing with its opposite in the coolest way possible,” explains Creative Director Virginie Viard. “The gardens and pool of Villa Noailles and its extraordinary setting were the perfect fit for this.”

Guests at the Louis Vuitton show had the chance to preview the fashion house’s space on the Champs-Élysées for its Spring/Summer 2024 shows. The 19th-century Art Nouveau building will be the venue for the brand’s new project, which will be unveiled in the coming months. But it will look quite different…
For the show, Nicolas Ghesquière partnered with production designer James Chinlund and Spanish production company Penique, which specializes in “temporary installations.” The result was an inflatable, balloon-like structure (made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials) that transformed the interior of the building into a glowing, vibrant orange color — the perfect striking backdrop for the collection’s direction.

Pierpaolo Piccioli took inspiration from the body for his Valentino Spring/Summer 2024 collection. The show was a celebration of comfort in one’s own skin, with nudity presented as “a natural state, not a means of provocation,” the show notes explained. “Where fashion is created to dress the body, here there is an essential exchange, an intimate relationship, between the garment and the woman in it.”
The models were accompanied by multi-faceted artist FKA Twigs, who “moved as one” with a troupe of dancers in a captivating performance that explored and celebrated the body, physicality and femininity.

Guests were treated to a red velvet-draped theater for Balenciaga’s latest show, which paid homage to the making of clothing. Models walked on stage to a narrated soundtrack from Isabelle Huppert reading instructions on how to make a tailored jacket from La Veste Tailleur Homme, a manual reformatted for the show’s invitation booklet. There was, of course, a strong emphasis on tailoring and the brand’s signature exaggerated silhouettes, while eveningwear focused on vinyl dresses and upcycled gowns made from items sourced from vintage shops. A bonus look, photographed by Kim Kardashian, was later revealed after the show.
