As an editor, fashion month is always a highlight of the year—a moment to see runway shows up close, have a preview of what is new and next in fashion, and chat with other people in fashion about their thoughts on what is unfolding. This season, I attended New York Fashion Week, and the spring/summer 2024 collections were full of fresh ideas and silhouettes that are paving the direction for fashion in the year ahead. Elegant shiny satin, capri pants, and hourglass clothing silhouettes were notable trends to watch. Flats continued to dominate footwear at Proenza Schouler. Altuzarra was one of the most talked-about shows of the season with a collection steeped in ruffle-trimmed skirts and A-line shapes that are at the top of this editor’s 2024 shopping list.
Aside from seeing the new collections, fashion month gives me an excuse to put together new outfits to wear to the shows. My approach this season revolved around wearing many of the staples I already have in my closet, mixed with some fresh fall drops. Among the new pieces in my fashion-week wardrobe were Prada’s just-dropped floral-embellished kitten heels, an editor-favorite Tory Burch tunic, a Picotin bag from Hermès, and a knit dress from High Sport. Ahead, see the NYFW outfits this editor wore and shop each of them.
