Theunissen AW24
I've been going to all of Ariane Theunissen 's shows since she has started. To see her at the Palais de Tokyo felt like watching her hit a major milestone... I'm a bit moved. With that said I can also comment on the maturation of her aesthetic. A couple of seasons ago, as fun as it was, the aesthetic seemed to be a little more wide-ranged. I think Theunissen has finally found its stride and is starting to show a true identity.
This collection kept the aesthetic a lot tighter then previous editions. There were lots of dramatic shapes within this season but the entire collection was shown in just three colors; red, white and black. The signature cutouts and tops that peeped an underboob were still on the roster but more wearable, streamlined pieces were also abundantly available in the AW24 season. Notable ideas that came across in this collection: the illusion of floating waists, oversized elements such as an extremely puffy top or oversized hat and exaggerated curvy sleeves.
It is apparent that Ariane Theunissen now knows exactly who she is as a young designer. My companion noted that this collection felt "very LA". Perhaps it's just a matter of time before the entertainers and celebs get their hands on it. I'm glad to be one of the firsts to have knowledge of this collection. It's just a matter of time before everybody knows it as well. And I'll be there, watching her hit another milestone.
