☆ Supermodels, Sam Smith and a Giant Fur Ball: The Best Trends and Moments From the Spring 2024 Fashion Shows
  + stars: | 2023-10-07 | by ( Katharine K. Zarrella | Lizzy Wholley | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
SPRING THINGS Among the top trends from the spring 2024 fashion shows was workwear-inspired fashion, like the outfits above. “IT’S NICE to feel calm sometimes,” said Luke Meier who, along with his wife, Lucie, designs Jil Sander. Their sterile Milan showspace had been made a sanctuary, with sunshine filtered through legions of white paper strips hung from the skylight. Guests in attendance seemed visibly soothed, as if waiting to ascend into heaven, or at least lounging in a five-star spa. This sense of ease pervaded spring’s best shows and clothes, which shirked recent seasons’ gimmicks, flash and frippery and instead brought women feel-good outfits for everyday.

QUEEN OF ROCK Nadège Vanhée at Hermès’s Paris offices. “PUNK” IS HOW Nadège Vanhée describes her childhood self. No, not the kind with a mohawk and safety-pin-pierced clothes, she said, but the “type of kid who went for it.” While growing up in northern France, she and her equally punkish best friend “were determined and wouldn’t let anything get in our way.”

OVER THE COURSE of her career, Martha Stewart, the self-made mogul and pop-culture phenomenon, has seldom considered the concept of power dressing. “It has never fit into my lifestyle,” said Stewart, 82, who worked on Wall Street before founding her Martha Stewart Living empire. “I’m probably more casually dressed than most women executives. I never felt I had to dress to show off for men. “It looked good, I felt great.

☆ What Is a ‘Bitchy, Pointy’ Shoe? And Why Are People Calling It That?

TREACHEROUS. A little mean. “That,” said New York stylist Micaela Erlanger, “is a bitchy, pointy shoe.” She’s talking about this season’s spikiest footwear—flats, kitten heels, boots and stiletto pumps with toes so sharp, they’ll get confiscated by the TSA. “It’s a term I’ve [used] over the years,” said Erlanger of the shoes’ somewhat abrasive moniker, which has been popping up more often in fashion-world exchanges. “It represents a certain attitude.”

It’s dangerous to show that part of your body,” said Suzanne Corcoran. In April, she’d ordered a pleated, turquoise A.L.C. dress online (below right, in yellow) with what she thought was a small cutout above the right hip. The Alexandria, Va., developer loved the piece’s shade and silhouette—she’d worn a similar dress to prom—and figured a tailor could close the peephole. Why would I buy a dress with that?’”

☆ Fashion’s Latest Comeback? Actually Wearable Clothes

Is that…leather?” Some version of this befuddled inner monologue ran through many editors’ heads as Kate Moss sauntered down Bottega Veneta’s spring 2023 runway in Milan. From a distance, they were unmistakably denim and flannel, respectively. Creative director Matthieu Blazy ’s sartorial trickery gave front-rowers a wow moment but was perhaps too subtle to dazzle those streaming the show on Instagram. That outfit (see the shirt above, and Kendall Jenner wearing a version of the look below) embodies an aesthetic shift that’s sweeping the fashion industry. Instead of buying trendy frippery to flaunt in social-media posts, stylish sorts are craving wearable clothes with subtle details like hand-stitched hems, carefully sculpted silhouettes or luxe textures—details that they, and anyone within a 5-foot radius, can appreciate in the moment.

☆ Wearable Clothes at Last? The Top Trends From the Fall 2023 Fashion Shows

LOW-KEY LUXURY At the fall fashion shows, many designers proposed quiet, classic clothes rife with sophistication. From left: fall looks from Fendi, the Row and Loro Piana. This season put an end to that. Perhaps inspired by political and economic uncertainty, or maybe by the fact that women exist in the tangible world again, not just behind filtered screens, brands including Saint Laurent, the Row, Bottega Veneta and Fendi turned out exquisitely wearable, sometimes understated clothes. The shift in tone resonated with guests, some of whom are cautiously optimistic it might last beyond this crucial season for the brand.

ABOUT 20 YEARS ago, while dining in San Francisco, Lisa Unger Sandman was nearly startled out of her seat. That should never be on the floor!” shrieked a woman at a nearby table, pointing to Ms. Unger Sandman’s black Hermès Kelly bag. Chastened, Ms. Unger Sandman, now a retired banker in Raleigh, N.C., snatched up her purse which, in the current market, often costs at least five figures. Today, Ms. Unger Sandman, 60, would ignore such a reprimand and isn’t so worried if her Kelly risks bodily harm. In its 2023 luxury consignment report, resale site the RealReal noted higher demand than ever for bags in “fair” (i.e., heavily worn) condition.

But why delight one sense when you could thrill more than a few?

☆ The Classic Black Basic That’s Probably Missing From Your Wardrobe

HERE’S A RIDDLE: What are you wearing if you’re basically naked but covered from neck to ankle? If you’re ready for yoga or a black-tie gala? If you could steal some jewels or the heart of your Hinge date? Also known as onesies or jumpsuits, catsuits can be a blank-slate base layer, a glam one-and-done outfit or even maternity wear (see Erika Boldrin below). And while stars such as Lizzo and Dua Lipa love graphic, dominatrix-worthy versions with sheer panels by brands like Mugler and LaQuan Smith, the simple, solid-black catsuit rarely gets the mainstream attention it deserves.

THE TAMING OF THE SHOE For fans of sky-high footwear, heel-less options often fall flat. But this season offers an abundance of stylish, even-keeled kicks for anyone who is reluctantly abandoning their towering stilettos and hulking platforms. “ABANDON MY HEELS? Clearly not clairvoyant, I haven’t been able to slip into towering footwear for several months. When my doctors told me heels aren’t great for my condition, won’t help my recovery and are absolutely off limits, I started crying on the exam table, which made things awkward.

“THEY’RE VERY NICE, inspiring weirdos.” That’s how Louis Vuitton women’s artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière describes his fashion-industry peers. Growing up in France’s relatively remote Loire Valley, Mr. Ghesquière, 51, dreamed of being one such weirdo. He’d watch fashion programs on TV, special-order magazines with his mother and customize friends’ clothes. “As a kid [fashion] was my way of expressing myself,” recalled the Paris-based designer. Since 2013, he’s been at Vuitton, whose new spring 2023 collection was shown in Paris earlier this month at the Louvre Museum’s Cour Carrée.
