Theunissen SS24
I eyed this collection for exactly one second before I made the connection that this collection reminded me of "Scandoval"! And if you know, you know. (And for those who don't, it's a reference to Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" season 10.) Adriana's red revenge dress at the reunion probably could have been designed by Theunissen. Continuing on the theme of barely there coverage as seen in AW23, SS24 is a more refined play on the idea. This collection is presented with the perspective of a woman on vacation. A woman who is uninhibited and ready to do anything at any time. This wardrobe exists between playful sunny days and sultry tantalizing nights.
Each of these pieces seem like they were cut out very precisely to measure. The choice of material allows the bodies curves to be highlighted and was designed to enhance the shape of a silhouette. The '80s vibe of these silhouettes are evident in the extra large shoulders and mini waistlines of the cropped jackets. Vintage jewelry and upcycled accessory creations accompanied each of the models. You have to be ready to celebrate yourself and your body when you wear Theunissen. This is not made for the shy or self-conscious wearer. Proceed with caution, but please dare to proceed.
