Paris Couture Fashion Week for the F/W 23 season just wrapped up, and it’s time to recap. Clutch Band shirt Specifically, we should discuss street style. As expected, the show attendees really leaned into the quiet luxury trend with their chosen outfits, accessories, and the trends they chose to wear. This provided a contrast to the often extravagant looks that populate the runways during Couture Week, and it was refreshing to see, especially when fashion week street style is typically very showy. Paris’s fashion weeks, especially Couture Week, are typically fancier compared to some other cities’ fashion weeks, but I spotted quite a few simple, even casual, looks this time around. However, that didn’t make them any less luxurious. Among those low-key looks, I spotted several stand-out quiet luxury items repeated in photos from the week. Below, see some of the looks for yourself and shop the wearable items in question. Logo-less bags from Bottega Veneta and The Row, in particular, are very popular right now, as was evident on the streets of Paris this week. Linen pants are one of the most popular items this summer (and every summer). They’re polished and they keep you cool, so it’s a given that they’d be a PFW mainstay in July.

Having analysed the spring/summer 2024 fashion trends for months now (literally), Clutch Band 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.
