Pretty in PRE-FALL

Fashion captures the beauty between seasons.

- ZUE WEI LEONG

Not too hot, not too cold, but just right. There is something special about the transition between the seasons, as the sweltering heat of the summer eases up, ushering in cool evening breezes and inviting the leaves to retire its bright green hues. Slowing down the breakneck pace of constant work and play around the world, people start to wind down. It’s a universal feeling as they return to the self, take a breather, and prepare to enter into a new phase— without losing the optimistic and creative spark they have cultivated over the last few months. Naturally, the attire reflects this subtle shift in their attitude as the signs of fall approaches. For years, designers around the world have been inspired by this transitional time, taking advantage of this window to meet their demand for an in-between wardrobe while presenting interesting, new sartorial concepts that have been brewing in their minds. And this year is no different. Below, BAZAAR’s fashion report spotlights the standout Pre-Fall 2024 collections, from Balenciaga’s ultra-casual designs to Chanel and Dior’s elegant homages to the world’s greatest cities.
