Amiri - selected by Benoît
Amiri fashion show, fall/winter 2024.
Yes, I always follow with great interest what Amiri does, a Californian house founded by Mike Amiri (no joke). I like this mix of influences, with touches of tailoring and a very American casualness.
Here in this outfit, it's the way the costume is diverted that I like a lot: worn with sneakers and a brooch, but especially with a knit with a generous collar and a tank top clearly visible underneath.
The colors of the outfit remain very simple to wear, only the pink of the knit adds this touch of the unexpected.
Auralee - selected by Antoine
Auralee Fashion Show, Fall/Winter 2024.
This is a brand that I have really liked for a while. A Japanese brand, obviously, that plays a lot on cuts and colors. Here, I put two looks that are different but that come together. A full workwear aubergine look and a monochrome set, in a slightly faded green, between green and yellow. I like this play on the pockets, the materials and the cut of course. As well as the idea of the full workwear suit, which we also explored on our side with our new Kamikoshi set.
On the second set, I especially like the layering of the sleeveless down jacket and the technical jacket . It's elegant and at the same time, the colors bring pep and relaxation. This is where Auralee is very strong I think. Besides, they also did a very nice collaboration with New Balance recently.
Auralee - selected by Édouard
Auralee Fashion Show, Fall/Winter 2024.
Like Antoine, I chose a look from Auralee. In full workwear, in slightly mineral beige tones that I find so cool. It's a brand that I love and for me too, it's a source of inspiration in terms of volumes and colors.
They always have this little detail of color that I really like, here with the turtleneck and the pair of gloves sticking out of the pocket.
I think that working the canvas like this, in a slightly chic way, is really cool.
Berluti - selected by Sébastien
Berluti fashion show, fall/winter 2024.
You and I are starting to get to know each other a little bit. If you're reading this, I hope you like it, and if not, you should know that I like casual chic, simple and refined styles. I'm starting to wonder if I don't have Scandinavian origins in this regard.
I'll be honest, this is the first time in my young life that I've been interested in Fashion Week .
As David mentioned in this article , I never felt very connected to Fashion Week looks. More to the point, I felt like it was another world that I would never belong to .
But finally, by digging, even if it remains financially inaccessible for me, I found beautiful ideas and stylistic expressions.
Berluti spoke to me quite a bit in this sense.
A workwear and streetwear spirit, but which remains chic. Simple and refined lines, with a beautiful diversity of materials . Straight volumes, loose but not too loose, like what I have been aiming for for a few months.
A range of browns that we find on the shirt and the overshirt (in taupe/greige tones), but also the shoes (which tend towards camel) and the bag (dark brown). Everything is contrasted by raw jeans. Simple, effective. The guy is ready to go to work.
If you are not yet comfortable with the idea of making outfits completely in monochrome (which is understandable), you can do it partially: wear several items of clothing in similar shades but also include another one that contrasts.
In addition, it has the advantage of being (very) easy to reproduce . With BonneGueule clothing, it would give:
- a beige Milo overshirt;
- a raw Narita shirt; a raw Renji or Novare (depending on whether you prefer high waists); or even Amarin balloon pants, in both beige and brown for those who want to try the full monochrome.
- And for the luckiest of you who own some, Almeida sneakers.
For the bag, it's up to you. For my part, I have a nice business bag from Bleu de Chauffe (Cuba Libre brown) that will do the trick.
Kartic Research - selected by David
Kartic Research fashion show, fall/winter 2024.
I discovered Kartic Research , an Indian label. I am seduced by this atmosphere which reminds me of Bode, Kardo or even Znali.
The outfit is really great and gets its charm from the embroidery and patchwork that compose it.
- The jacket , quite spectacular, has a pattern melted into the weave, embroidery and gathers at the bottom. A strong piece but quite soft and harmonious I find
- The jeans have two patches on the pockets, like fatigue pants.
- The shirt is embroidered with small flowers
On my feet, shoes that remind me a bit of slippers.
I see two ideas that we can draw inspiration from here. First, take an interest in embroidered clothing , which we have been seeing more and more for the last year or two. Then, take up the color palette of the look : this cream with this medium blue works really well. With my wardrobe, I would pair my ecru De Bonne Facture blazer with my newly acquired Renji bleach jeans.
General Pharmacy - selected by Edouard
Officine Générale fashion show, fall/winter 2024.
I really like the vibe of this look. The jeans thought very casual and wide, the unbuttoned shirt, the tweed jacket, the loose coat placed on top. This is what we want to wear in everyday life. Casual, but in a chic way.
Rhude - selected by Michel
Rhude fashion show, fall-winter 2024.
Rhude is a brand founded in Los Angeles in 2015 by designer Rhuigi Villaseñor, which mixes the codes of luxury and streetwear .
Previously, he worked with Kanye West's producer and trained with Big Sean's stylist, before his career took off when other rappers started wearing his designs.
The brand's clothes don't fit my world and yet, it's its outfits that have struck me the most during this fashion week. Which goes to show that you should always keep your eyes open and never stop at the surface when you discover a brand.
I like how this first look mixes retro pieces. It gives great ideas for combining pieces found in thrift stores : a polo shirt printed in this spirit, a blazer with broad shoulders and well-polished jeans, it's easy to find there. We can note how the brown collar sticking out of the polo shirt blends in with the blazer, the belt and the lens of the glasses to create a link. We can appreciate the detail of the t-shirt that sticks out, recalling the print of the polo shirt and the color of the sneakers.

Two more examples of the brand's interesting color management. On the left, the three shades of green complement each other very well. I think what works, at the top, is to have a brighter green underneath (the turtleneck) and a darker one on top (the jacket). It's hard to go wrong with this layering principle.
For my part, I often do a monochrome in this spirit between the lichen green of my Vicenza cardigan and the dark green of my Bergamo pants .
On the right, the differences in shades are more subtle. Which brings out the contrasts in texture between poplin, wool cloth, leather and cotton twill.
Both outfits also show us how you can intersperse a black garment in a monochrome . I find it more successful on the right, because the darker burgundy allows the black blazer to blend in better with the whole. It's more coherent under a long coat too, but the experiment under a jacket like on the left makes me want to start my own laboratory in front of my dressing room.
Todd Snyder - selected by David
Todd Snyder NYC Fall/Winter 2024 Runway Show.
Camaïeux and monochromes. Suits and ensembles. Majestic coats.
Here's what caught my attention the most about this Fashion Week. I've already shown you a lot of beautiful silhouettes in this recent article , but I still have some more to come.
Here, a nice cameo from the New York brand Todd Snyder , with a large brown double-breasted coat and a sand-colored ensemble made up of an overshirt and matching pants.
The special feature here is the materials , quite workwear: we can't distinguish them very well, but the coat seems to me to be in a sort of slightly waxed cotton, and the whole in a slightly thick and raw canvas (perhaps a twill?).
Please note: generous but reasonable volumes . The coat is long but not too long. The pants are straight without excess.
This is an outfit I could replicate with my De Bonne Facture hazelnut coat and our Kamikoshi set.
If you don't have a brown coat or outfit/suit in those tones, here's what I suggest:
- Beige raincoat
- Brown pants
- Taupe or greige sweater
With BonneGueule clothes, this would give, for example: beige Glencoe mac , brown Amarin or Shelby pants and a greige Moena sweater.
Yohji Yamamoto - selected by Matthias
Yohji Yamamoto fashion show, fall-winter 2024 collection.
In this outfit, we see three things:
1. The most stylish and badass guy on the Walking Dead series, Norman Reedus.
2. There is a monochrome outfit. With a message, “can't exit without each other” which makes sense in relation to her role in the series but also to the planet. But that is not what catches my attention the most.
3. What I remember here is the customization of clothing . I like to do it for my own, to make them tell a story . Small chain stitch embroideries always have an effect! Here, it's downright tufting, a well-established trend on the networks that opens up the field of possibilities and reminds us that in customization, we are our own limit.
That's it for this little tour of Fashion Week. The whole team hopes that you found some great ideas among these suggestions!
