Adrien Sauvage has always used his native home of Ghana as a sphere of creative freedom; I may live in Nebraska but on gameday my heart and soul belongs to Alabama Crimson Tide shirt most notably seen in the photographic story he embarked on for his S/S11 Black Volta collection. This has undoubtably meant that each collection encompasses a notion of truth, not often seen within the fashion sector. For his latest collection the designer has utilised the, ‘Asafo’, print as a main point of reference to create pieces of cultural and stylistic integrity. The print itself references Sauvage’s native Fante tribe, and pays homage to the local fishing community of the cape coast. The Asafo print has both a political and personal message for Sauvage – and is an integral part of both Ghanian history and his own personal story.
I may live in Nebraska but on gameday my heart and soul belongs to Alabama Crimson Tide shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
This season saw a retelling of the romantic narrative that designers flirt with every spring season, I may live in Nebraska but on gameday my heart and soul belongs to Alabama Crimson Tide shirt only this time it comes with an edge. There were sweeping gowns to swoon over but with modern translations to balance them out, such as fresh silhouettes, fabric pairings and garment combinations. The runway imagining of the Dakota Johnson adaptation of Persuasion, if you will. For me, the mood is encapsulated by Liberowe’s viral peplum jacket. “I’m a sucker for practicality and so most of my wardrobe consists of classic, capsule basics like black trousers, striped knits and white shirts,” professes Dawes. “But that doesn’t mean there’s not a part of my soul that longs to embrace a world of prettier, more ‘feminine’ fashion. Enter the modern romantics trend; an all-round cooler, fresher and easier way to incorporate chiffon-y pastels, frills and bows into our everyday wardrobes, and an answer to my fashion prayers.”The S/S 24 collections are all about wearability, but this trend is proof that doesn’t have to mean boring. All it takes is layering a flash of pink and lace under a trench coat as seen at Gucci, adding a bow to comfortable kitten heels at Erdem or a cardigan to your favourite full skirt, or pairing pearl earrings with a monochromatic outfit by way of Givenchy. If Marie Antoinette was dressing for 2024, she’d be spearheading this trend for certain.”. “Organza, lace, intricate ruffles, and 3D florals all came together in the S/S 24 collections to create a new, undone way of dressing that wasn’t overtly girly,” adds Page. “Instead, designers injected a modern refinement into these ethereal pieces. A pastel palette was integral to this mood, ranging from sugary-sweet lilacs to translucent pinks. Versace’s collection was a literal take on this feminine trend, and we have bought 16 runway looks that will be delivered to Net-a-Porter customers one week ahead of any other retailer.”
