Fall/Winter ’24 Trend Report

It’s here!! We are so excited to share our Fall/Winter ’24 Trend Report with you! Twice a year, our team of stylists collaboratively curate a Trend Report for the coming season. We analyze runway shows individually and then, together as a team, discuss what designers are showing across the globe. We compile ideas that stylists, editors, and designers have been in tune with from the beginning of the design process. We focus on finding patterns in the shows and research how they will trickle down into retail for that season.

A CONTINUUM

The energy and excitement surrounding fall and winter fashion is unparalleled. After all, it is the fashion New Year. As the dog days of summer come to an end, we find ourselves lost in the archives of Vogue.com, uncovering the mysteries, magic, and marvel of what will be the new directive of the season. From the runways of New York, Paris, Copenhagen, and Milan, we immediately noticed a stark similarity to the energy of S/S’ 24. A continuum, if you will. An intentional focus on wearability with a touch of freshness and modernity…celebrating individuality through beautiful textures that add stylistic depth, layers that enable exquisite movement, and exaggerated silhouettes. Just as we said this past spring, the notion of reimagining remains. However, this season presents a unique opportunity to take that next step and explore those foundational basics in a way that best represents you. This quote perfectly sums up the sentiment of the season:

“For fall, it’s not necessarily about looking put-together in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s about finding your own way to wear basic wardrobe staples.”Harpers Baazer | BY NICOLE FRITTON AND BROOKE BOBB

As always, shape and silhouette remain our North Star. With that in mind, we are excited to work alongside you, our clients, and fashion friends to see how these trend concepts resonate with you personally as you continue the journey of building your unique personal style.
