Yves Saint Laurent’s artistry inspired by ‘pioneering women’

The collection took inspiration from women, particularly from Amelia Earhart and Adrienne Bolland, who slipped into “domains once considered exclusively male.” The brand showed Formula 1-style racing dresses, utility style jump suits, service jackets and cargo trousers.

Maison Valentino’s concept: the ‘skin as its own fabric’

Maison Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli introduced grace and femininity as he celebrated the body’s natural state through cut outs, and sheer fabrics. 

Piccioli wanted to show that clothes, while meant to cover the body, are also capable of revealing as much as they can. His team came up with a technique called altorilievo or high relief, weaving fabrics in patterns and shapes hugging models’ bodies. Truly, Valentino’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection set forth demure sensuality on the runway.
