Long Taoran, Sema Fest Live At Las Vegas Convention Center November 8 2024 T-shirt an art collector, traveled from Beijing to attend Frieze. While she scouts art from around the world for collection, her visit to the fair marks her first time in L.A. The collector leaned on laid-back staples—New Balance sneakers, Margiela side-slit jeans, and a blazer and bag from Lemaire. “You need to be comfortable to walk around the whole day,” says Long. “I love really unique things.” On the other side of the trending coin, art people just like to dress for themselves, regardless of what’s “in.” Case in point, Claude d’Avoine, creative director and Frieze London head of design. For a day of browsing through exhibits with fashion publicist Bradley Jacobs, d’Avoine wore custom-made floral pants from a local designer with vintage accessories. A more surprising observation of the day: Artsy people love cowboy hats. One of the most marvelous hats we encountered belonged to visual artist Arielle Pytka. In custom-made python pants and stacks of statement silver rings (pieces she’s accumulated over the years), Pytka’s outfit stood out among the sea of The Row separates and Gucci loafers. “I ride horses a lot, and my dad lived in Santa Fe for many years, so I was exposed to a lot of Western culture,” she says. Along with a Rick Owens sweater and a big-buckle belt gifted by a friend, the artist completed her outfit with special cowboy boots from Pskaufman. “He’s a local designer in L.A., and he hand-makes all of his boots. They’re incredible,” she adds.

As I said earlier, skirts are big news for 2024, Sema Fest Live At Las Vegas Convention Center November 8 2024 T-shirt but the most predominant style on the runway was the one that almost wasn’t there at all. “Call me controversial, but if you’re going to wear a skirt in 2024, make sure it’s see-through,” says Rhys-Evans. “Midi, maxi, sheer or sequin; whatever the iteration, the transparent trend embraces the body and has captured my heart. In summer, do it with baby tees and ballet flats, and on cooler, transitional days, opt for knee-high boots, a cosy cashmere knit and perhaps tights (go for a pastel colour or ivory instead of black). Tights or no tights though, just be sure you’re wearing your nice knickers that day.” “For the person looking to reveal a little leg in a more understated way [that’ll be me], I love the flirty sheer skirt, demonstrated brilliantly at Carven under Louise Trotter’s new creative direction,” says Page. “Following Fashion Month searches for sheer skirts increased by 35%.”. “With sheer fabrics making a statement for S/S 24, Alaïa’s latex pencil skirt in a smokey, neutral tone is a great example of how to style the trend in a feminine but modern way, celebrating the female form. I personally love the versatility of a sheer skirt; it’s a perfect evening look and can be styled in a less overtly and obviously sexy way,” adds Wiggins. For me, this runway moment felt especially empowering, and designers did an exquisite job of showcasing the various ways in which anyone can wear the trend. Of course, they work well for evenings out, but anyone who’s prepared to wear a completely sheer skirt to run errands will forever be a hero in my book.
