Hola MaHigh-School - February 2024 - 2

It all ended on Valentine’s. dramatic finish after all.

But who exhibited what? And were there any trends around?

Here is what I got from CNN

Thom Browne kicked it off with some rather gothic (in my opinion) over-sized jackets and silk and more. It was inspired by a poem by Esgar Allan Poe – The Raven - and that was easy to see (and hear as it was narrated throughout his show).

Rather gory really, but it probably heralded what we will see later this year.

Hilfiger was there. They somehow got in on the venue – new York – and channeled their line into something both nostalgic and going forward. Again we saw loads of heavy jackets, boots galore and layers of fabric.

Either it is the trend or the winter is going to be arctic!

However, I liked the Hilfiger look. It is classic and it is easy to recognize. This year we again saw the Hilfiger colours but also in new styles.

The fabric was again Hilfiger fabrics. And it all just looked

good and easy to wear.

Extravaganza is the word! The Blondes fired it up – literally – with the collection ‘fuego’ inspired by South America.

And this was fire! I quote from CNN: ““It’s a declaration of identity, a celebration of life, and an affirmation of the enduring flame that burns within every Latin heart,” the show notes explained. That should make it clear.

One way or the other: there is something ‘demonic’ about black and red together. Black and red-hot fire. The passions on fire. Classic.

Carolina Herrera was into embroidery and classic shapes. Floral prints galore and again signature style. It just looked good!

Now see for yourself:

... and some overall pics:

It is going to be jacket and boots time – again.

This time it looks (if we can get some pointers from NYFW) as though the jackets will be bigger and more ‘fluffy’.

Of course we see knitwear but it is all mixed in with more modern fabrics this time.

The classic look will still be there. And that is Hilfiger and Carolina. No doubt about that.

Where to find it? Well, what about Zara and H&M.
