From Sunnei’s playfully chic use of cartoony craft to Dilara Fındıkoğlu‘s theatrical embodiment of the thrilling ways that showing skin can be empowering, the standout collections of the Fall 2024 season in Milan prove that the future of the international fashion scene is in the very competent and forward-thinking hands of its young and independent designers.
Jun Takahashi’s Undercover leads the pack with a collection that exploded the boundaries of garment categories, fabric possibilities, and what can be worn when and where, showing us that originality and wearability can coexist, that the avant-garde can feel effortless, and that the greatest luxury in fashion is to not be confined by luxury.
One of the most anticipated – and best – shows of the season saw a Parisian designer far from his home turf: Ludovic de Saint Sernin did New York proud with his collection that steadily leveled up his vision of slinky seduction and paid work to the legacy of legendary photographer and queer icon Robert Mapplethorpe.
