Hermes
The S/S 25 Hermes collection this time plans to evoke a sweet summer whereas the designs and overall mood and tone of the fashion runway leaned more towards a more pastel palette and a light and soft feel with the backdrop portraying gently rippling blue waters. Seductively lightweight and breezy, the collection is mostly made of tank tops, tailored jackets, short sleeved bowling style knits paired with attractive accessories and the most desirable Hermes travel bag of the season.

Dior
The Dior Haute Couture A/W 2024 took inspiration from the Paris Olympics happening just right around the corner. Maria Grazia Chiuri referenced the Olympics and its roots which takes us back to Ancient Greece which influenced the collection. With its draped garment around a silhouette used by jersey fabric, Maria Grazia Chiuri aimed with the idea of liberation in mind, for haute couture to be effortless and elegant without constraining the body. By combining classicism, rebellion, energy and political value of a woman’s body, it paints a picture that the elegance of a woman is both delicate and strong.

Lastly, we have the great Dries Van Noten that has announced his departure from the fashion scene with his last show being held, mused on the passing of time. Models of past and present walked out onto the red carpet with the central theme conveying the passage of time with some of the models that have been walking for the label since the earlier days strutted down the runway with the 70s collection featuring bits of silvery foil and a variety of colours and texture.
