Louis Wearing Brain Dead Book Club T-shirt

With fashion month on the horizon, Louis Wearing Brain Dead Book Club T-shirt a new season of runway shows and collections designers have been crafting is in store. That isn’t all, though. Fashion month also means that street style is returning, and insiders will be test-driving some of the coolest trends set to be huge this fall. While the runway shows are still a month away, the style set is already planning their wardrobes, and we wanted to get an early look at what we can expect to hit the streets of NYC, London, Milan, and Paris. We tapped stylists, fashion directors at the biggest luxury retailers, and Who What Wear’s very own editors, and it’s clear that the street style scene is set to be very stylish this fall. With items ranging from new twists on classics to risk-taking sheer dresses already set aside for their fashion-week looks, there will be a lot of sartorial inspiration to feast your eyes on soon. “Everyone that knows me knows I’m not hugely driven by trends and veer toward a minimalist, but I absolutely love making classic pieces feel new. The skirt suit is top of my list this season, which definitely was a common theme on the runways. Tailoring, in general, always runs the risk of looking too serious, so I will balance it with trainers or color-pop ballet flats depending on the skirt length. Jil Sander’s and Miu Miu’s versions were my favorites, as they both really get the proportions right so the set doesn’t feel strictly office bound.”

Across the four fashion capitals—New York, Louis Wearing Brain Dead Book Club T-shirt 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.
