Schiaparelli Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture

Haute Couture Fashion Week has begun and luxury houses are stepping out in style in the City of Lights (and fashion). The designers are unveiling their most experimental pieces of the year in Paris, including Schiaparelli showcasing their techno robot dress using electronic pieces from 2007. 

Inspired by other-worldly creatures and the balance of earthbound and heaven-sent, Schiaparelli's avant-garde collection has been lauded by fashion fans across the internet. 

Dior's Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture runway unveiled new designs from designer Maria Grazia Chiuri in which eclectic patterns were balanced with muted tones and shapes—an ode to textiles and craftsmanship; Rahul Mishra, whose focus centered on nature, specifically the intricacy and details of insectstheir wings, patterns, and shapes; Chanel's show was a lesson in Shakespearean romanticism; Kim Jones grounded Fendi's new collection in a more humanized futurism. 

As HCFW comes to a close, L'OFFICIEL rounds up some of the best looks from the runway.
