Haute couture week, the pinnacle of the fashion calendar, once again presented a mesmerising array of sartorial masterpieces , that wouldn’t be complete without its accompanying make-up looks and hairstyles. This fall/winter 2024, there was an added frenetic energy in Paris with the Olympics fast approaching and that too, trickled down to the runways. In his second couture collection, Thom Browne , referenced the City of Light and the international sporting event via cleated heels and gaudy bronze, silver, and gold metallic blazers .
The sculpted hairdos on his runway seemed to step straight out of a painting, with each curl and wave lacquered in its own place. This fantastical swerve is unsurprising with the designer’s famed theatrics, one that exudes Thom Browne’s artistry. Intriguing hairstyles continued to reign at Dior, where the models showcased a saltwater-tousled tresses, while Victor & Rolf defied gravity with an abstract hairdo.
Some of the beauty highlights of couture week also emerged from the Charles De Vilmorin show, where a gleaming gunmetal chrome was painted on the inner corner of the eye. An edgy and oiled look that’s simple yet impactful. Elsewhere, Yanina Couture refreshed a classic ’60s mod eye look, featuring diffused light-blue eyeshadow and dispersed falsies.
Meanwhile, models at Giambattista Valli went au naturale, and delicately embellished with pink petals. Utterly dreamy, just like the collection’s blooming floral gowns. We’re on the .
