Given the sheer quantity of trends that come out of any given runway season, {title} standout colors can oftentimes fail to garner the attention they deserve, being deprioritized in reports because of barely there miniskirts, motorcycle tropes, and voluminous silhouettes. But not this season. After a ubiquitous presence at New York and London Fashion Week, no one can deny that red—specifically a vibrant, chili-pepper red—is one of if not *the* standout trend of fashion month thus far, surpassing even the most shocking garments that’ve come down the runway. The list of brands that have included at least one bright-red look is endless, with inclusions ranging from Tory Burch and David Koma to Sandy Liang and Proenza Schouler. And it hasn’t only found a place on the runways. On the streets outside of shows, attendees in both London and New York have styled the shade to their hearts’ content in the form of handbags, hair accessories, eyewear, ready-to-wear, and more. Below, see every way that chili-pepper red has infiltrated fashion month, from the catwalk to the sidewalk. At Tory Burch, red was among a handful of vibrant colors that debuted, both in head-to-toe form as pictured here and via smaller touches like a bright, layered sweater or kitten-heel pump.

Milan witnessed a big change, too. Gucci’s new creative director Sabato De Sarno held positions at Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino before taking on this role, {title} which catapulted him and his first collection for the brand into the spotlight last September. Buyers, editors and celebrities descended upon the Italian city to take in the spectacle—ask any fashion devotee without a ticket and they would likely have told you they’d give away their Birkin to have a front-row seat at this show. There’s no denying that De Sarno’s predecessor Alessandro Michele kept Gucci on the fashion map with his geek-chic sensibilities; an aesthetic that would define a moment in fashion history. Still, moments pass, and we saw De Sarno usher Gucci into a new era, one that places more value on essentials over eccentricities—a notion we’re seeing across the rest of the industry. A business built upon the customer’s desire to be seen in shiny new things will always have its issues. However, the thing that felt “new” this season was that some things just didn’t change at all. Perhaps the most noteworthy takeaway was that trends don’t seem to hold the same power that they used to. I’m generalising, of course—things get meta real fast if you so much as take a peek into the no-trends-actually-being-a-trend rabbit hole—but it feels as if creating trends for the sake of it could be a thing of the past. “The spring/summer 2024 collections have shown a continued commitment to 1990s nostalgia and the extraordinary everyday, where everyday items are elevated to exceptional levels of design and style whilst remaining chic and comfortable,” observes Net-a-Porter’s market director Libby Page. And she’s right. The market has experienced a shift of tectonic proportions in recent years where a genuine focus on quality over quantity and investing in things that last has become a priority for previously frivolous shoppers. The latest collections reflected this.
