Completedworks AW24

After speculating for about 2 minutes they pulled back the curtains and there she was. It was Joanna Lumley in all of her glory and she began performing the "Confessions of Lilith" by Fatima Farheen Mirza. I have never before in my life wanted to cry from seeing somebody that I was such a big fan of, but Joanna Lumley did it for me.

Hian Tjen SS24

Hian Tjen makes me want to show up awkwardly to a party completely over dressed. From start to finish these over the top, opulent pieces are a marvel to behold. Tjen does not hold anything back, more is more. The textiles used are a mix of feathered, embroidered, burned out, applique'd and beaded. It's all in there.

Niccolo Pasqualetti SS24

The details of this collection were so unusual to me because they were oversized but didn't feel ostentatious. The way the waves were depicted on the body really free flowed from the waist to the hip and into the back, like if a wave had hugged you. The accessories were large and angular, anchoring the softer edges of the clothing.

Jeanne Friot SS24

The aquatic theme was felt immediately. As he made his way around the show space, dramatic train in tow, a sheer black mesh one shoulder dress made its way through the crowd. Shades of blue denim paired with white and black mesh, glistening beige sequins and knits and crochets in silhouettes that echoed defiance and a little bit of anarchy paraded through the space. The show was unambiguous and sincere.

Walter Van Beirendonck SS24

There are way too many stairs to climb in Paris. But this show was worth the climb. After finally making it to the top, I looked into the show space and to me, the show had already begun. Walter Van Beirendonck people sure do know how to dress for a Walter Van Beirendonck show. It was like looking at an archive of all of his past creations and the people were there to celebrate his work in the most meaningful way. Wearing metallic vegan leather pants in 90° weather, in a warehouse with no air conditioning. These are true fans.
