See the Most Iconic, Unforgettable Runway Shows From 2024
You don't have to be fashion-obsessed to appreciate the otherworldliness and crafts of these fashion shows, from Maison Margiela to Chanel. These made our 2024 highlight reel.
Fashion headlines in 2024 may have been overwhelmed by news of a luxury slowdown, but besides its financial declines, 2024 was otherwise a year for the books.
It ended, after all, with a bang, thanks to the grand finale of creative director musical chairs: Matthieu Blazy to Chanel, Louise Trotter to Bottega Veneta, Julian Klausner in at Dries Van Noten, Michael Rider in at Celine, and John Galliano's Maison Margiela exit. On runways throughout the year, designers didn't fail to put on epic runway shows with celebrity-packed front rows. Nothing may have hit the decadent fabulosity of that 300-look Mugler show in the '90s, but 2024 had cool moments in their own right.
From Paris to New York Fashion Week, runways unveiled collections of elegant craftsmanship while reinventing classic silhouettes and creating immersive experiences for attendees. The best runway shows of 2024 ranged from Schiaparelli's body-bending couture to Louis Vuitton Fall 2024, marking 10 years of Nicolas Ghesquière as womenswear's creative director.
