Red hosiery has long dominated among the trends Who What Wear editors love, U Can be My Punk Rock Princess T-shirt but it may be time to give another color a try. We later learned from art executive Zina Reed that this sculptural dress was from none other than Zara. (We could’ve sworn it would be archival Nina Ricci or something.) The pairing of equally bold grape-purple tights really elevates this to high-fashion territory, so we just had to document the entire ‘fit. A cloud of expertly constructed fabric, Cecilie Bahnsen dresses are so instantly recognizable that one can spot them a mile away. So it didn’t surprise us once Frieze co-curator Sonya Tamaddon revealed that her cobalt-blue frock was a creation from her “dear friend” Bahnsen. “I only wear ruffles when it’s Cecilie. She makes it feel like armor,” she says. To add more drama, the curator incorporated three more major runway trends—sheer tights, big earrings, and ballet flats. We caught this art educator at the tail end of Frieze day one just as the sun was beginning to set and the crowd trickled out of the fairgrounds. It was the earrings and headband that immediately stuck out, a reminder that good accessories will always spark conversation (and compliments). If relaxed is the keyword for the Californian dress code, then double denim is the Los Angeles equivalent of a suit. Adrianna Bach, a model based in New York City, wore a dark-wash Slvrlake denim set with Celine sunglasses and a Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie bag. “I’ve worn this set for seven days in a row,” she proclaims.

I scream, you scream, U Can be My Punk Rock Princess T-shirt we all scream for flat shoes! Whilst I won’t go as far as to say that heels are redundant this season, the spring/summer runways felt like a collective celebration of flats. Where slip dresses might have been styled with strappy sandals, we saw brogues tag in. Ballet flats have ruled the footwear roost for the last 365 days and their appeal is showing no signs of waning, as evidenced by Prada, Chanel and Fendi. Having spent the first few years of my career teetering around London in constricting and crippling heels just because they felt “fashion”, the way designers have adopted the flat is more profound than it might otherwise seem. “Fashion’s obsession with ballet flats and mary janes is set to continue well into the new year, but for S/S 24, luxury brands are kicking things up a notch,” says Lyst’s content editor Morgane Speed. From Loewe’s crystal-encrusted version to Fendi and The Attico’s jewellery-like detailing, these are more than just shoes; they’re works of art.”. “Flat shoes continue to dominate, especially in sheer mary jane and ballet styles—+110% vs. last year,” continues Liane Wiggins, head of womenswear at Matches. “Mesh is still the must-have fabric of the summer, with brands such as Khaite, Le Monde Beryl and Emme Parsons leading the demand. We predict The Row’s unexpected take on the trend with its runway jelly shoe will be a cult item this summer.”. “If ever there’s a moment for comfort, you can be sure to count me in,” adds Rebecca Rhys-Evans, Who What Wear UK branded content editor. “And of all the comfort-inducing trends, flat footwear is the one that I’m most up for. Y2K and the “indie sleaze” renaissance have reignited our love of ballet flats in all their forms, and rest assured they’re not going anywhere for S/S 24. Pastel or Prada, embellished or adorned with bows, when it comes to our shoes we’re embracing new heights this season, and boy are our heels happy about it.”
