admin Editors, influencers, stylists and show-goers can share what they loved most from a season’s runways, but, in the end, what matters is what people buy from the new collections. To get an accurate sense for what’s going to trend in six months, you have to ask the buyers, merchandisers and fashion directors at major retailers about what’s catching their eye, what they placed orders for and what they’re betting on. That’s why we do it every season.
Luxury womenswear buyers especially loved the Spring 2024 collections of Prada, The Row and Dries van Noten, and really responded to sportswear and spring dresses on the runway. Ahead, see the pieces they’re still thinking about from New York, London, Milan and Paris — and what one person described as her “died-and-gone-to-heaven look.”
