Today, we’ll take a look at the collections of some of the designers you can find in Michael’s Luxury Consignment and what they are previewing for Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear.

Anna Sui: Bookworm Chic

Anna Sui's Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection showcased a whimsical and nostalgic aesthetic that blended elements of vintage academia with a modern twist. We are calling this collection 'bookworm chic,' not only because the show was presented at the iconic Strand Bookstore but also because it featured a range of plaids, messenger hats, sweater vests, argyle knee-high socks, and loafers that evoked a scholarly flair. The clever mix of textures and patterns exuded a playful yet sophisticated charm, making it a standout in the weekend’s shows and further solidifying Anna Sui's reputation as a master of eclectic design. 

Ulla Johnson: Ruffle Runway

Ulla Johnson's Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection showcases a stunning display of her innovative design aesthetic, with eye-catching ruffle trims, exciting patterns, and organic-shaped silhouettes that exude a sense of modernity and creativity. Through her masterful use of texture and form, Johnson has once again captivated fashion lovers as a trailblazer in the world of fashion, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to blend femininity and style. This collection is a testament to her ability to blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, evident in pieces that are both timeless and striking.

Libertine: Mismatched Magic

Libertine's Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection showcases a bold and daring aesthetic with its mismatched patterns, textures, and bright colors. The eccentric designs, daring layering and over the top accessories exude a campy style that somehow harmoniously come together to create what can be described as 'mismatched magic.' The brand's ability to seamlessly blend these contrasting elements results in a whimsical and playful collection that pushes the boundaries of fashion and challenges traditional norms.

Khaite: All About Shoulders

Khaite's Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection showcased a unique fusion of femininity and masculinity, with sharp tailoring and bold structural designs. The exaggerated shoulders and distinct silhouettes added a modern and edgy touch to the pieces, creating a sophisticated yet avant-garde aesthetic. The collection managed to strike a balance between strength and sensuality, offering a fresh take on traditional gender norms in fashion. Khaite's blend of tailored precision and daring design elements made for a powerful and chic runway presentation that pushed boundaries and captivated those at the show.

Alice + Olivia: Art Pop

The fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection from Alice + Olivia is a true testament to art pop fashion, as it expertly merges artistic and pop culture elements into elegant high-fashion designs. Through the use of bold prints, vibrant colors, bow appliques and classic silhouettes, the brand has yet again created a visually stunning collection that appeals to both art enthusiasts and fashion lovers alike. The seamless blending of these contrasting elements showcases the brand's creativity and innovation in pushing the boundaries of traditional fashion and we can’t see what else is in store next!
