Paris Fashion Week is in full swing, showcasing the most exquisite haute couture collections from renowned fashion houses such as Chanel, Thom Browne, Georges Hobeika, and Dior. The Fall 2024 season has seen these brands transform iconic venues like the Palais Garnier into glamorous runways, where they presented their latest creations.
Chanel, known for its timeless sophistication, drew inspiration from the historical Palais Garnier for its couture show. The collection featured sheer tulle dresses, flowing capes, tweed skirt suits, and minidresses in a luxurious color palette of black, pink, gold, ivory, green, and purple. Models, including the stunning Amelia Gray, donned large black silk hair bows and low-heeled sandals, exuding a ladylike charm perfect for a night at the theater. This collection marked the first since the departure of creative director Virginie Viard, with a successor yet to be named.
Thom Browne’s second couture collection combined elements of competitive sports and innovative design. Trench coats, sculptural gowns, corsetry, and pleated skirts crafted with muslin showcased the brand’s unique vision. The collection featured whimsical details like track-soled boots, metallic embroideries, and a playful tug-of-war game, adding a sporty flair to the sophisticated designs.
Georges Hobeika’s Fall 2024 collection bloomed with sparkle, drawing inspiration from nighttime gardens and celestial beauty. Flowing dresses, evening gowns, and suits in a rich color palette of black, white, green, purple, and more were embellished with intricate floral embroidery and shimmering beadwork. The inclusion of men’s suiting and separates highlighted the brand’s inclusive approach to couture.
Dior’s couture collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri celebrated the strength and grace of athletes from around the world, inspired by the recent Olympic Games in Paris. The collection featured goddess gowns, mesh jersey dresses, and draped trousers in white and black, showcasing a blend of athleticism and elegance. Chiuri’s designs have consistently emphasized women’s empowerment since she took the helm at Dior in 2016.
