The neutral gender

mood quiet luxury Obviously, sober nuances are in the spotlight. Powdered tops, ivory skirts, beige blazers, mouse gray pants… A muted palette, which whispers old money in the ear of the preppy. A trend spotted on the catwalks Tod’s, Blumarine, Versace…

In black and white

Forget the classic white shirt + black pants combo. This season, the extremes innovate. Immaculate stitching punctuates the jet-black dresses, the large logos take on psychedelic accents and the prints resemble ghostly apparitions. A trend spotted on the catwalks Chanel, Chloé, Junya Watanabe…

Summer sorbet

No sun without its pastel wardrobe. At the top, lilac, romantic and delicate, followed by pale yellow, a total look version or combined with a blue so light that it almost appears washed out. The right twist to reawaken past shades: focus on vibrant pieces. Strawberry, mint, curaçao, beetroot… Would you like a scoop of ice cream again? A trend spotted on the catwalks Molly Goddard, Bally, Dries Van Noten…

Think metallic

Silver sequins, gold rhinestones, bronze fabrics… There is no party without sequins! If iridescent fabrics appear on everyday looks, show-off materials parade at night. In all that glitters mode. A trend spotted on the catwalks Dion Lee, Dawei, Simone Rocha…

Flip flop

The it shoes of the season? The flip-flop, without hesitation. A sandal that can be worn with beach dresses, obviously, but also, now, under impeccably tailored suits. The gimmick of the moment: go for a neo-gladiator leather version, or for a wedge model, just to gain height. A trend spotted on the catwalks Private Policy, Fforme, Philosophy of Lorenzo Serafini…

The statement belt

Jewel placed at the small of the back, maxi corset or XXS, the spring-summer 2024 belt is a waist accessory. The reflex of the moment? Wear it at the base of the hips, to emphasize your curves. A trend spotted on the catwalks Shiatzy Chen, Yohji Yamamoto, Sandy Liang…

The visible briefs

The bottoms continue to be exposed. The new favorite of fashionistas? Reveal their briefs, transparently under a light dress, or, as in the 2000s, under ultra-low-waisted pants. When they're not just walking down the street in their panties. A trend spotted on the catwalks Paloma Wool, Miu Miu, Stine Goya…

Flower power

This season again, flowers bloom on spring clothes. Dramatic in an XXL version or outdated like on English wallpaper, they transform those who wear them into a pretty bouquet. A trend spotted on the catwalks Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Richard Quinn…

Make the pea

In black and white, they breathe retro charm into blouses and jumpsuits. On a transparent fabric, they take on relief and transform into precious plumetis. XXL version, they give volume to clothes. In short, this spring, polka dots are heavy in the fashion game. A trend spotted on the catwalks Vivetta, Pierre Cardin, Rentrayage…

The scarf print

Straight out of the 70's, the scarf print energizes summer silhouettes. It decorates asymmetrical dresses, elegant trench coats and vintage-inspired tunics, when it is not worn literally, on a square knotted as a graphic bustier. A trend spotted on the catwalks Leonard, Roberto Cavalli, Burberry…

Completely blocked

Sailor style, slanted or vertical, stripes give texture to summer silhouettes. Depending on the garment, their thicknesses vary: thin on working girl costumes, maxi on retro polo shirts or psychedelic on cool kids' uniforms. A trend spotted on the catwalks Sunnei, Mark Fast, CFCL…

Upgraded denim

Unbeatable, denim is reinventing itself. Beads, studs, lacing, embroidery… The blue canvas is embellished with precious details. To be adopted in small touches or in a total look from head to toe. A trend spotted on the catwalks Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren, Vaillant…

All in transparency

After dresses and tops, it's the turn of skirts and pants to try their hand at transparency. Multicolored fishnets, colored veils or embellished crochet, the idea is to show everything. A trend spotted on the catwalks Alberta Ferretti, Brandon Maxwell, Zimmermann…

The drapes

This style effect, once only reserved for evening dresses, has become the favorite fashion statement of designers. Result: it contaminates everyday tops, skirts and pants. A trend spotted on the catwalks David Koma, Elie Saab, Isabel Marant…

The nudity effect

These new materials hug the body in every detail and imitate the color of the skin. A kind of nude latex that evokes the melted wax of a candle and turns the notion of sexy on its head. A trend spotted on the catwalks Diesel, Avellano, Edward Crutchley…

Fringes

Here, no bohemian, hippie or country fringes. This season, they are fancy when they dress up a satin top, rock when they come in a metallic version, or even SM when they are seen in a bondage style. A trend spotted on the catwalks Tom Ford, Gucci, Jil Sander…

The return of cropped pants

It could have remained forever in the archives of the 20thth century. This was without counting on the designers, who decided to take pants cut at knee level out of the closet. Lace cyclists, gold corsairs, low-rise Bermuda shorts… Say hello to capri pants! A trend spotted on the catwalks Schiaparelli, Retrofete, 3.1 Phillip Lim…

The classic wardrobe

Since the look of the ultra-rich is on the rise, designers have decided to revisit their wardrobe. The shirt is reinvented, the trench is deconstructed, the blazer changes proportions… Preppy with a twist. A trend spotted on the catwalks Vaquera, Peter Do, Gauchere…

Neither mini nor maxi, long live the midi skirt

After the miniskirt and the maxi skirt, it's the turn of the midi length, which ends its course between the knees and the ankles, to have its moment of glory. In her sexiest adaptation, she improvises a pencil skirt. Irresistible. A trend spotted on the catwalks Alessandra Rich, Max Mara, Theory…

The neo costume

It's time to shake up women's tailoring. A wardrobe classic that can be imagined in white for spring. In summer, the suit takes on colors and swaps the pants for shorts, which get shorter as the days get longer. A trend spotted on the catwalks Tom Ford, Bally, Issey Miyake…

The look of a romantic baby doll

An avalanche of ruffles, soft colors, puffy dresses, three-dimensional flowers, pastel prints… The woman of spring-summer 2024 is a romantic, sexy and feminine baby doll. A trend spotted on the catwalks Ulla Johnson, Tory Burch, Balmain…

Back to the 90's

It seems we will never stop celebrating the last decade of the last century. Spring-summer 2024 focuses on the almost gothic minimalism that characterizes these years. A completely cinematic aesthetic, which lies somewhere between Leon (1994) and Matrix (1999). A trend spotted on the catwalks Coach, Ferragamo, Knwls…

The falsely neglected attitude

A few open buttons, a sleeve that slides over the shoulder, a scrunchie that barely holds a hastily done bun… The idea is to praise nonchalance, with elegance. A trend spotted on the catwalks Saint Laurent, GCDS, Bottega Veneta…

Maximalism

War, inflation, bedbugs, global warming… No question of letting it get you down. To counter this leaden atmosphere, designers suggest overdoing it. Too much volume, too many colors, too much mix & match for one silhouette more is more. A trend spotted on the catwalks Marni, Germanier, Comme des Garçons…

Lady's look

Think Brigitte Macron, Princess of Wales or Letizia of Spain. The big houses pay homage to ladies and their impeccable wardrobes. Buttoned cardigans, three-hole dresses and pastel suits take center stage. A trend spotted on the catwalks Tod’s, Fendi, Prabal Gurung…

Feminine/masculine style

Playing with genres is one of fashion's favorite pastimes. With a man's jacket combined with a transparent dress, a jacket worn with a microscopic skirt or a maxi jacket thrown over high-waisted briefs, you become a masculine girl. A trend spotted on the catwalks Prada, Etro, Marrknull…

The Paris 2024 mood

The Olympics are coming soon! To get in the mood, brands are showing off their sporty locker rooms. Designer tracksuits, surfboards, motorcycle helmets and even maps of Paris couture, so tourists can find their way around the capital. A trend spotted on the catwalks Dior, Miaou, Casablanca…
