On Friday, the Spring and Summer Fashion Week of 2024 kicked off in New York with two contrasting scenes on its platforms that reflect the diversity that characterizes it. The character of the city and yellow taxi patterns dominated the Helmut Lang collection, while fashions inspired by the farms of the American West dominated the Ralph Lauren show in a rustic wooden atmosphere.
With regarding 12 shows a day until Wednesday at least, Fashion Week in the huge American city will be the first rain for its counterparts for the spring and summer of 2024 in London, then in Milan and Paris.
The official program includes a group of shows from talented young designers and emerging brands, and at the same time brings together a number of well-known names and a handful of major designers, such as “Ralph Lauren,” “Michael Kors,” “3.1 Phillip Lim,” “Altuzarra,” and “Gabriella.” Hearst, Carolina Herrera, Tory Burch, and Loire.
Stephen Culp, director general of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, considered that the program in this format keeps New York the “cornerstone” of the fashion world.
The Helmut Lang brand appeared in New York Week during the nineties of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century. Thanks to the aesthetics of the Austrian artist’s simple designs, which were pioneering at the time.
Designer Helmut Lang left fashion in 2005, but the “Helmut Lang” brand continued; It was bought by Prada, and then acquired by the Japanese group Fast Retailing, which also owns the Uniqlo brand.
The “Helmut Lang” collection, designed by its new artistic director of Vietnamese origin, Peter Do (32 years old), one of the best talents in the fashion world in New York today, draws on the founder’s legacy. The most prominent features are sets of comfortable black jackets and pants, interspersed with neon pink or gold-colored straps, along the legs, at the belt level, and in the form of a slanted shoulder strap (bandolier).
As for the presentation of the “Ralph Lauren” house, which is considered the embodiment of American ready-to-wear clothing and a symbol of the “preppy” style, it was held amid the decor of a rustic barn that reminded of his farm in Colorado.
The show, which was attended by model Christy Turlington and attended by actresses Robin Wright and Amanda Seyfried, concluded with golden dresses, one of which had fringes, that took “more than 800 hours” to work on, and in which “15 specialized seamstresses” cooperated, according to “Ralph Lauren.”
