2024’s fashion trends highlighted ‘quiet luxury,’ with brands like The Row and Bottega Veneta thriving. Consumers favored timeless, durable pieces over fleeting trends. Simultaneously, there’s growing interest in new independent labels, offering unique narratives and craftsmanship. The shift signifies mindful consumption and a desire for investment pieces with lasting value.

While the city offers a platform, emerging designers are forced to get creative and find unconventional ways to stand out, utilizing presentations, partnerships, and a shift towards bespoke to carve their own paths.
