For fall 2024, tartans, checks, plaids, and tweeds dominated British country style and outdoor chic living. Taking inspiration from a fall 1978 runway image, Chemena Kamali created plaid dusters cinched with a gold metal belt that featured the Chloé name.

Meanwhile, at Dior, la Maria was taken with the sporty and sleek ‘60s, a huge trend this season, showing windowpane check skirt suits that channeled the era’s mix of confidence and ease.

The shapes of Yohji Yamamoto’s suits, dresses, and outerwear slowly distorted as they were dissected into cubic units. The designer balanced dreamy chiffon gowns with tweed pantsuits and sophisticated tailored coats. Will we be on the tiles soon with the war looming perhaps ?
