The top 5 Spring 2024 Couture Collection are:
1. Schiaparelli
The collection draws its inspiration from the lineage of the brand and its Elsa’s fascination towards Astrology and Mars! She predominantly uses the ideology as unlikely marriage in her collection. Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli honours the old techniques such as over-embroidered guipure laces, velvet and lace appliqués, and fringes with new elevated patterns, and references such as pre-2007 technological artifacts. He experimented with abstract iconographies like bandana, hand-painted paillettes; thigh-high boots with buckles; to the iconic silk satin spikes and a white denim corset suit. He is known to manipulate the body anatomy seamlessly with intricate patterns and 3D elevations and embroidery.
2. Valentino
Pierpaolo Piccioli played well with the concept of Quiet Showoff. The collection titled “Le Salon”, where models walked through a series of rooms lined with a single row of seats, like the salon runways of yore. It starts its glitz with a white sheer tunic top over magenta trousers, topped with a burgundy-brown jacket. The collection also showcased burgundy dress worn over dusty pink pants, red tinsel cape over dusty pink overalls and a sheer pussybow blouse.Piccioli is admired for their storytelling with shapes, but it usually manifests in volume. In the collection, there’s a more traditional exploration of silhouettes than challenging the patterns like the young couturiers. They played with fur, sheer materials, mix of dark complimentary colours and broad patterns.
3. Elie Saab
Elie Saab reminded us of his red-carpet charm by hosting Jennifer Lopez in the front row. The collection was inspired by the “mystery of Morocco, inside the souk and the light of the desert,” the Lebanese designer, Saab said. Saab took the inspiration from the intricate and geometric patterns of the country’s architecture and art. The collection chose the art of detailing and mastering the architectural patterns as golden filigree on capes and gowns. The collection played with asymmetrical shapes and symmetry in a one-shouldered wrap cape that looped from shoulder to wrist, balancing the volume and the negative space profoundly, when the model walked into the limelight. He presented the dresses mainly in the colour of red silk, pink shell silk, and a draped concoction in cerulean gazar, and a flowing robe de soir in chartreuse lamé. The walk witness encrusted crystals, laces, embroideries from Morocco, golden trims, organza petals and 3D flower shaped appliques.
4. Robert Wun
Robert Wun collection was set in horror as an inspiration for the couture shows, from splashing and breaking of pearl necklaces, to a headpiece with a knife on it or a spilled wine dress to a blood-spattered finale gown, finally a hat with geometric structure or rain like pearls dripping from an umbrella! The absurdity has grabbed the attention of the norm. The collection experiments with gathered fabric near the feet which is balancing the heavy hat on the top. It has details of red stones and pearls embroidery and suspensions in the entire accessories and dresses.
5. Rahul Mishra
Rahul Mishra jumps into the imaginative insects world with runway adorned in pieces from his ‘Superheroes’ collection with intricately embroidered insects on them. The large net-crusted plate in front of the model face has endangered moths made from beads and pearls embroidery. His collections have a concentric lattice pattern, often seen in windows in India where these insects thrive. The dragon fly attire stole the show reminiscing his childhood memories. The designer shared the painstakingly time consuming and difficult work of the artisans and the revival of the old craftsmanship he tried to incorporate in his designs. He shared a video detailing the old art and crafts ranging from each sequin, and bead being sewn as embroidery, to ultimately resembling a stunning dragonfly!
