Will they possess the magic blend of expertise to capture the Zeitgeist, vision, and a sprinkle of luck to emerge unscathed, or will they fall under the critical gaze of editors, journalists, and fashion writers?
Prepare for the Triumphant Returns
Paris Women’s Fashion Week FW 24 is set to welcome back brands that have been absent for a few seasons, ready to reclaim their spotlight in the fashion week arena. After a hiatus, Vetements and Off-White are set to make a bold statement with their innovative designs and boundary-pushing aesthetics.
