Having analysed the spring/summer 2024 fashion trends for months now (literally), Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body Shirt I’m here to tell you about the ones that are genuinely wearable and will truly affect your wardrobe for the next six months (and beyond, if I have anything to do with it). There’s a lot to talk about for S/S 24, but this hasn’t always been the catwalk way. If all the world’s a stage, Fashion Month has long been the costume cupboard—a trove of froth and tulle, sparkle and glitter designed to catch the eye and hold it. A dressing-up box that, although delightful and entertaining to lose yourself in, doesn’t always hold up in reality. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing—we could all use some fabulous escapism from time to time—but, ultimately, when you venture out from the sanctity of your wardrobe, you need to be able to live in these creations. At least in the physical realm—we’ll get into the virtual later. For spring/summer 2024, I have to applaud designers for creating collections that, yes, hold beauty, but also have a place in the everyday. But first, let’s travel back to September and October of last year and reflect on how things unfolded. Across the four fashion capitals—New York, London, Milan and Paris—a total of 299 designers showcased their collections, 19 new to the Fashion Month circuit, compared to 247 for spring/summer 2023 (credit to the fashion data analysts at Tagwalk for doing these calculations). Growth is a good thing, especially in creative industries, but I found this hard to believe, personally. Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful of designers who couldn’t secure budget to show, or whose brands were lost to greater financial struggles (I still can’t move on from the Christopher Kane-shaped hole that permeated the London schedule). With growth always comes change, and perhaps one of the biggest this season came in the form of a renunciation. Alexander McQueen’s Creative Director Sarah Burton announced that the spring/summer 2024 collection would be her last after 26 years at the brand. Burton had respectfully taken the helm after the British institution’s iconic and groundbreaking founder Lee Alexander McQueen passed away in 2010, with her subsequent collections serving as a love letter to his influence and precociousness. Cate Blanchett attended, Naomi Campbell walked and a standing ovation rang out during the final, tender moments of Paris Fashion Week.

British designer Spencer Hart has long had a lasting affair with music, so it only seems right that this art form be the inspiration for his Spring/Summer show. Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body Shirt Surrounded by the industrial pastings of the Old Selfridges Hotel, Mr Hart delivered a range of sartorially powered looks paying homage to the Latin/Jazz fusion scene in London. With a colour pallet of soft greys and blacks, the emphasis was placed very heavily on the fabric, cut and texture of the garments. Using a lightweight open weave fabric the house displayed a range of single and double breasted suiting – combined with a menswear staple…the white shirt. These sat very closely to lightweight cashmeres and smooth silks creating an exuberance of luxury. This minimalistic offering harnessed the brands power to excel in the most simple of ways. Shirts where given cutaway collars, and blazers had the addition contrasting patches. Within the formalities of the show lay surprise inclusions of Spencer Hart’s loungewear – modeled by famous clients alike – these features were bold but not arrogant; merely demonstrating the wealth of talent designer Nick Hart has at his disposal.
