At the forefront of this movement are the usual suspects: Alaïa, Saint Laurent, Rick Owens. But some newness this season from Christian Dior replacing customary navy with black for spring ’24. And the reveal of Gucci’s SS24 brings us back to the brand’s true essence of rich storytelling, steering away from recent colourful departures back to classic-black looks.
