Forget fast fashion, 2024 is all about embracing “slow fashion” with a conscience! Planetary power moves are the new must-have accessory. This year, the coolest kids on the block aren’t just rocking killer threads, they’re rocking a sustainable state of mind. Designers across the globe embracing sustainability without sacrificing style. These visionaries are proving that conscious fashion choices can be not only ethical but also undeniably chic. Stella McCartney’s Fall 2024 collection epitomizes luxury with a conscience. She showcased innovative vegan leather alternatives, crafted from recycled materials like plastic bottles and mushrooms. This juxtaposition of cutting-edge material and classic design highlights the potential of sustainable fashion to be both glamorous and responsible. Rahul Mishra’s Fall 2024 collection showcased his commitment to sustainability. He utilized organic cotton and ethically sourced silk, adorned with intricate embellishments crafted from recycled materials like glass beads and discarded fabrics. This approach not only promotes sustainability but also celebrates the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship.
2. Chrome Dynasty

Ditch the dainty florals and step aside, sunshine hues – a new kind of radiance is taking center stage. Forget the disco ball, metallics are having a full-on chrome takeover! Fashion ignites with a gold-plated roar, transforming runways into landing strips on the red carpet. Versace unleashed a liquid gold chainmail dress. Saint Laurent’s silver mini wasn’t just a dress, it made every step pulse with the energy of a rock anthem. Over in Paris’ Haute Couture, Rahul Mishra didn’t dabble in metallics, he defied them. A statuesque model glided down the runway, draped in a gown of liquid gold, each stride whispered power, the metallic symphony continuing in stilettoed whispers crown that rivalled the luminesce of a crescent moon.
3. Red Alert

We are aware that annual patterns are greatly influenced by colour. Red has taken over everyone’s runways and closets, from Pre-fall to Winter 2024, and no one is shy to admit it.
Despite Pantone’s announcement of the Coquette Peach Fuzz as the tone of the year, red as well as darker shades of it is rising in popularity, which is an interesting development that signifies a major shift in the colour scheme of modern fashion.
However, the red phenomenon is not merely a coincidence; rather, it is a shift that has been closely noted from the biggest occasions in the fashion industry. We’re going to delve more into this fascinating shift in the red trend, which was evident from the arrival of celebrities like Dua Lipa and Zendaya at the most recent Fashion Week to the new collections themselves.
There appears to be a strong foundation for this transformation in the 2010s comeback. The fashion industry is going back to find inspiration in items that millennials still own, evoking memories of hipsters, mustaches, and platform boots. It is crucial to keep in mind that fashion never truly goes out of style; instead, it always returns with a modern twist and fresh interpretation.
Crimson has also taken center stage on fashion runways throughout the world throughout seasons. It stands out in the collections of well-known designers like Marine Serre, Valentino, Diesel, Gucci, Vetements, and Lanvin. While designers like Saul Nash, Botter, Adeam, and Alexander McQueen have employed a specific hue of even darker red in their menswear collections, such as seen in Paris and in Milan Fashion Week 2024.
Similar to this, it has emerged as a standout option for companies like Amari, Heaven, Coperni, Bottega Veneta, and Ottolinger in accessories, footwear, and bags. My personal favourite; the new burgundy Miu Miu slingback pumps, seen on the Spring Summer runway collection 2024 in Paris Fashion Week. It has also been a key component of the much anticipated collaboration between Melissa and Marc Jacobs.
These initial instances of dark red in fashion are merely the beginning; by the end of 2024, it’s expected to be ubiquitous, from RTW to international catwalks.
