the runway rundown
ELLE Singapore|September 2024
How do you navigate a season that toys with the tension between comfort and audacity? Simple-you refuse to pick sides. The fall/winter 2024 collections dare to do just that. Some designers give us 'swaddle season' with oversized, cocoon-like coats that offer a warm embrace. Conversely, others serve up sharp cigarette pants and cinched blazers for those ready to power up. The/collections balance protection with individuality, with colours swinging from oxblood to rose pink. Why choose when you can have it all?

the runway rundown

chanel

Drawing inspiration from Deauville, the seaside town where Gabrielle Chanel first turned fashion on its head, Virginie Viard delivers a collection that feels like a breath of fresh, sea-salted air.

Viard, who left the French house in June, created a dreamy Vibe by channelling Deauville's serene, ever-changing skies into a colour palette of soft pastels and rich autumnal hues. Then she played with contrasts by pairing delicate negligees with boxy tweed jackets, and matching sailor sweaters with knee-high platform boots reminiscent of the glam rock era. It's a clever balancing act that makes Chanel's timeless codes feel newly minted.

Presented through 73 looks, this collection is a masterclass in blending the romanticism of the past with a touch of modern nonchalance. Among the standout pieces: An oversized cardigan paired with wide-legged boucle trousers nails effortless chic, while a triple denim ensemble adds a cheeky twist to Chanel's classic repertoire. A broad-shouldered longline coat, casually paired with cuffed jeans and suede platform boots, hits the sweet spot between style and practicality. Viard also injects a playful touch with a sailor-inspired white V-neck sweater adorned with pom-poms, adding a dash of whimsy to the lineup.

CELINE

In a departure from his usual rock-infused style, Hedi Slimane focuses exclusively on dresses and skirts for CELINE'S fall/winter 2024 collection. Eschewing the skinny jeans and grunge elements that have characterised his previous collections, the creative director presents a more refined and cohesive vision, where each piece exudes youthful sophistication.
