With the prolific modification of the guard at the Legacy House in Milan (Gucci's Sabato de Sarno, Tod's Matteo Tambrini, Barry's Simone Belotti, Paris Fashion Week), the 2024 event will be held at the same time, including Chloé's Chemena Kamali and Alexander McQueen's Seánmcgirr. The autumn trend included everything. Max Mara and The Row had smart wardrobe investments, Loewe and Doris van Noten had fresh colour combinations and unconventional pairing ideas, and fur and faux fur coats were everywhere. 

If you need quirks and kitsch, you can find them within the biggest fall trends of 2024. Great coats, beautifully tailored suits and luxurious knitwear were equally preferred, all within arm's reach. "I was interested in making a monument out of everyday life," Matthieu Blazy of Bottega Veneta told a group of journalists behind the scenes in Milan. A seemingly ordinary piece like a leather skirt or a button-down shirt can still be a bit of innovation and well-executed technology, but not an unusual lesson. 

The Row introduced a social media ban, with Altuzara and Prada offering a fascinating glimpse of the past in the form of vintage-inspired tea-length dresses, cheeky hat trends and lady coats.To be appreciated in the modern world, it's become more clear than ever that clothes don't really need TikTok validation or party tricks. Great clothes speak for themselves.

The Fall 2024 coat proves both design and functionality. These overachievers offer warmth but contain other great qualities, too, as each designer offers their take on the omnipresent staples of fall. Victoria Beckham's runway featured a double lapel pea coat, shearling and Moto-style leather jacket. Loewe re-introduced the Victorian-era swallowtail coat, and at Bottega Veneta, there were several standouts, from cocoon-shaped jackets to woolly cape outerwear.

Feather decorations, which once showed social status, give clothing an innate sense of drama. But in the autumn of 2024, the feathers penetrated in an unexpected way. The Ferragamo and Bottega dresses had a feather-like texture hem and neckline. Full-on feather coats were flocking to the Tory Burch runway, a feathered skirt peeking casually from under Brunello Cucinelli's sweater. 

The discourse around fur and faux fur can be controversial, but with the surge in popularity, designers are innovating with novel fabrics and silhouettes that transcend the aesthetics of fleeting mob wives. Prada skillfully fused shearling to mimic the fur on the hem and shoulder sleeves of the dress. At Loewe, Jonathan Anderson offered an alternative to the traditional fur jacket with a cropped pullover, while at Bally, the furry back embellished the sheath tops, giving an unexpected update to the asymmetrical miniskirt.

There is always a grouping of colors or color trends that win the season: red, butter yellow, Barbie pink. Green, a symbol of renewal this season, is betting on that claim. At Gucci, retro 1970s greens enveloped suits and jackets, and Fforme showcased slinky emerald green dresses and suit separators. And Saint Laurent has embraced lush shades as the backdrop for the show, with hints of olive and khaki green throughout the collection.

The animal print trend has never been dormant, but in the Fall 2024 collection it has become the main thread that brings audacity and play to neutral territory. The fusion of leopard print was prevalent in Marni and Versace, as well as the debut season of Seán McGirr as the creative director of Alexander McQueen. The Theory collection also offered a mouth-watering approach to the care of leopard in swing dresses, smart suits and trenches.

Vintage enthusiasts will rejoice at the classic products of the runway from the past. Several designers, including Altuzarra and The Row, have moved into salon-style shows this season. And Olsen, famous for being offline, did not enforce social media policies at the Paris show in the fall of 2024. It was no coincidence that the collection also revisited the retro style, imitating the old-fashioned (albeit in fashion) mindset.

Designers have adopted a new approach to modern layers, which are sure to achieve casual cuff sleeves or fully rolled pant legs. Many of the fall 2024 pieces have already been styled in detail. At Bottega Veneta, several of the collection's double-up button-down, cowl-neck knits and jackets are attached to the seams. At Gucci, a shrunken polo shirt is sewn into a companion cardigan that drapes slightly at the tip of the shoulder.

Not long ago there was a time when cozy clothes ruled the king. But now, with where to go and who to watch, we've completely pivoted away from cocooning ourselves. Still, wearing clothes does not have to undermine the importance of comfort - and designers are approaching leisure apparel with a luxury mindset. A row can easily be doubled as a cocktail attire paired with a slightly oversized blazer and some pearls, and popped into a kitten heeled boot or mule offering sleek cashmere pants, a knitted set of Jill Sander can easily take you to the boardroom.

On the fall 2024 runway, more new pants silhouettes than ever appeared, including Loewe's Ballooning cargo pants and Victoria Beckham's high-waisted, long-legged "elevator" pants, and new ways to approach the no-pants trend. Altuzara suggested a monochromatic red pop with cropped jackets and tight combos, and Gucci micro-shorts with knit and leather fabrications

the fringe was one of the trends that continued to pop up on the runway 1, but the dresses of editors, buyers and influencers attending the show were not the same. It was also a common thread between scodes and street styles. Bottega Veneta followed home his craftsmanship with micro-leather fringes over the statement jacket, over the skirt and throughout the accessories. Drys Van Noten strategically placed the shimmering tinsel fringes into the suit. In ferragamo, elongated fringe strips surrounded bare legs in skirts and dresses.

We can't talk about Saint Laurent's Fall 2024 collection without talking about the sheer buzz, but only French fashion houses have been able to talk about "everything from bare dre Proenza Schouler's completely translucent tunic-style dresses to Gucci's sheer shots and Fendi's sheer skirts." The person who buys the rende can strategically lay it over or bare it all.
