As the calendar flips to Spring/Summer 2024, designers in the fashion capitals of New York, London, Milan and Paris take center stage, shaping the trends and setting the tone for the next upcoming season. It’s a time of creativity, innovation and cultivating a vibrant fashion and beauty culture. With each beautifully crafted garment, we saw the mesmerizing visions that will storm the streets in the coming months.
New York Fashion Week has come to a close, with London up next, and we’ve already captured the pulsating energy of what the American girlies will be embracing for the spring. “Grungy Balletcore” made a notable statement with satin ribbons intricately woven throughout models’ hair at the Collina Strada and Christian Siriano shows.
Meanwhile, the renowned makeup artist Sheika Daley curated the “Sheika Method” for LaQuan Smith’s SS24 show, unveiling a captivating debut of “futuristic cat eyes” for the runway. For the avid skin enthusiasts, the mantra of “skin-first” continued to reign supreme during most of NYFW. It’s clear that New Yorkers have a love for nurturing and pampering the skin.
