From stripes and knits to circular silhouettes and striking hues, these trends ruled the spring-summer 2024 runways
Paris Fashion Week, which took place from September 35 to October 3, saw brands turn on their A-game as they showcased their spring-summer 2024 collections. Dramatic runway presentations, the return of legendary supermodels like Naomi Campbell, and star-studded front rows made the fashion week a memorable affair. But what stood out in this glamorous display of fashion were the designs themselves, which covered a plethora of aesthetics, from relaxed glam to downtown city vibes. We’ve identified five top trends from maisons such as Hermès, Valentino, Louis Vuitton that ruled the runways.

High necklines had been trending on runways for the past few seasons, but this time we saw a modified version of it in the form of dropped necklines—which retains similar aesthetics to a high neckline but is placed lower on the chest. Vivienne Westwood showcased this kind of dropped neckline in a gown, with the yellow embellishment acting as a necklace of sorts, while Hermès took a minimalistic route with a simple harness design that mirrored the dress’s geometric panelling.
2. Striking blue at Isabel Marant, Shiatzy Chen and Givenchy

Neutral-hued, knitted wear seemed to be having at moment on Paris runways. Loewe took the term “chunky” literally, with a cocoon-like cardigan featuring a large, fisherman’s knit pattern and huge gold buttons to match. Valentino went a subtler route with a smaller stitch, but was still noticeably loose.
