Discovering the Avant-Garde: A Journey Through Fashion
The upcoming fall and holiday season promises extravagance, creativity, and touches of the avant-garde. Taking cues from iconic designers like Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, this season’s trends are dynamic and bold. The exhibition ‘Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations’ at the Met in 2012 highlighted their influence, and these themes continue to inspire today’s trends.
Fall 2024: Dynamic Duality
This fall, the narrative is defined by a fusion of nature and technology. We celebrate both ancient botany wisdom and the growing influence of AI. Grounded creams like creamy yellow sage, earth burgundy, and clay-based mauve form the foundation for hand-painted and 3D nail elements. These colors represent stability and provoke change.
Integrating technology, colors such as apricot with a pearl finish and a deep purple with a gold pearl touch, introduce a futuristic and techy vibe. Teal with a glitter finish speaks to a high-tech world, keeping the narrative fresh and opening doors to new ideas.
