Across the four fashion capitals—New York, Free Otis 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.

Balenciaga’s reworked City bags and the new Le Cagole styles have a lot to answer for. Free Otis shirt They spearhead a return to the extra-fussy It bag styles of the noughties, and now I’m seeing girls picking up vintage styles all over the city. The great thing about this maxi skirt comeback is that no matter where you buys yours from—high end or high street—the overall effect of a very plain, pared back style is wealth!. Savile Row is the epicentre of tailoring in the world, so London fashion people are no strangers to a fantastic suit. This season the trend continues for slouchy, oversized shapes with looser, wide-leg fits and boxy jackets. Super-bright shirts have been going strong for two summers now and I don’t expect to see them being put to rest over the fall months. Instead, they’ll be worn under suits or layered over fine-knit roll-necks. Bikers, blazer and bombers are all on the agenda for AW22, but there’s nothing a bohemian London girl likes more than a swishy fringed jacket. Particularly good with jeans and over long dresses. From Loewe’s anagram tank to Prada’s see-through logo-stamped heels, there are endless trending branded pieces out in the capital right now.
