The Patou Fall Winter 2024 collection, presented at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, showcased a distinctive fusion of eco-friendly fashion and versatile outdoor wear.
At the heart of this “prêt à vivre” wardrobe lies a commitment to sustainability, with every piece crafted from 100% eco-friendly materials. This is indeed a significant stride for Patou towards environmentally conscious fashion.
The collection is a vision of a wardrobe designed for life primarily outdoors, emphasizing authenticity and simplicity.
Geometric patterns take center stage, and stripes and polka dots harmoniously echo one another, creating a captivating collage of colors, bright beiges with blues, blacks with whites, and khakis. This patchwork aesthetic is skillfully complemented by layering, including denim jackets.
The coats featured in the collection boast generous shoulders, wide collars, and ultra-long sleeves, forming a soft protective framework that adds both comfort and style to the outdoor lifestyle narrative.
Blouses have crisp, pointed shoulders and skirts have a defined silhouette. The showstopper gowns at the end surprise with their blown, flaring skirts that emerged from kimono-necked dresses.
There is a stunning play of fabric where they have been cut, crunched, crimped, sewn in myriad ways to add a hint of drama.
This low-on-embellishment collection wins the heart with its playful silhouettes and cleverness.
The accessories in this collection strike the perfect balance, offering subtle designs for the day and a touch of glamour for the evening. Delicate nude lace adorns belted or embellished leather bags, add an exquisite touch to the ensemble.
Golden shimmer buttons and necklaces punctuate both day and evening pieces, infusing a timeless elegance. The bags feature the monogram lock, a signature element, that elevates the collection.
With this groundbreaking assortment, Patou not only embraces contemporary fashion but also sets a commendable standard for eco-conscious design in the industry.
