The runway, set within the famed Place Vendôme, surrounded by haute couture ateliers in the heart of Paris’ First Arrondissement, was a feast for the eyes. It featured pieces from iconic French houses like Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Alaïa, and Givenchy, all distilled into six key trends. Vogue World: Paris essentially gave us a cheat sheet for what’s hot in fashion right now.
For summer, the standout trend is the return of retro stripes. Jacquemus declared this summer the season of stripes, with colorful striped dresses and bikinis from Jean Paul Gaultier echoing the 1940s style. Speaking of color, richly hued chiffon capes and flowing gowns from Givenchy, Alexandre Vauthier, Giambattista Valli, and the new line by Chemena Kamali, in vibrant, saturated shades, are perfect for high summer.
Looking ahead to fall 2024, houses like Dior and Hermès have signaled a resurgence of the ‘horse girl’ aesthetic. Blazers and riding jackets with nipped-in waists, nodding to the 1950s, were seen on fall 2024 runways from Thom Browne to Maison Margiela Haute Couture. To complete the look, opt for a full skirt and a pair of riding boots.
