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. Crisfield Crabbers Eastern Shore League 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.

I’ll resist the temptation to quote perhaps the most famous line in fashion-themed cinematic history for the second time in this trend report, Crisfield Crabbers Eastern Shore League shirt but let’s just say florals are hardly revolutionary when it comes to the warmer months. At least they weren’t until designers decided to double down on the trend and give it the gusto it has long been craving with a new take on blooms. We spotted a plethora of pretty 3D floral embellishments across plenty of collections (how gorgeous are Zimmermann’s waterfall petals?), as well as flowers so giant, they’re giving Alice in Wonderland-levels of psychedelia. “Spring/summer 2024 has moved the conversation so far forward that ditsy prints have left the chat and now we’re on to big, bad blooms,” says Farrell. “Imagine yourself submerged into a three-dimensional garden of plump peonies and trails of forsythias, and you’re a little closer to this year’s take on the ubiquitous print. Embellishment, embroidery and saturated colours are employed to help bring this living garden to life (and in the case of Balmain and Cecilie Bahnsen, you can expect bouquet detailing so real you can almost smell it). In short, 2024 is the year that florals are taking root.”
