Inviting you to make an impression as the world speeds by, Rabanne is not only a testament to craft but to cater to one’s personal and ever-changing identity, and it definitely proved that with the release of its Fall/Winter 2024 collection at Paris Fashion Week. This collection considers the codes of Rabanne an indescribable longing for everyday originality as it comes closer and closer to reality through outer and inner layers. As looks emerge from a multitude of ideas, piece by piece by piece, collage coexists with assemblage while every allusion contributes to a kind of intimate yet elaborate self-portrait.
Julien Dossena proposes an inspired mix of the unmatched, from beginning to end, offering clashing patterns that produce textural rhythms. Between a sense of spontaneity and the suggestions of a definite silhouette, each garment wraps the body in its way – from slightly open skirts to jumpsuits tied at the waist, and sweaters embedded with shawls, while ornamentation evolves, dimensional embellishments punctuate sheer skirts, legs are bejeweled in strass-patterned tights, and exposed linings are as exquisite as exteriors.
