Donna Karan’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection is truly something. Clean lines, architectural shapes, and intricate details makes this a very aesthetically-pleasing collection. Pencil skirt is the star of the line. It comes with the cape-like jackets, futuristic and kimono-style blazers. The streamline midi dresses can also be seen in the collection paired with short oxblood leather jackets.

Other jewels in the collection are the architectural dresses with assymetrical skirts and interesting details. There are evening structural frocks as well as cocktail pieces with fuller skirts and mesh stripe details.

Wrap/draped skirts and (jump)suits also make a solid part of the collection. Decorated with cutouts and mesh panels these outfits are not only trendy but also interesting in their own way. There are a few futuristic puff-sleeved coats that make for an interesting but also elegant look. Their design defines waist but a wide lacquered belt can also aid in this.

There is an amazing but subtle mix of styles. There is minimalism in clean lines, stucturalism in shapes and forms and also Orient style that’s been a hot trend of the season and will continue throughout the Spring. Also the contrast in fabrics and shapes make for some intriguing silhouettes. The pencil skirt with puffed up leather jacket or an oversize cape-shaped coat with a midi pencil skirt dress are real eye-catchers.

The styling of the outfits is also minimal. The models wear black lacquered pumps and sometimes curious leather cuffs. Of course, the minimal styling shows off the architectural pieces well and make them stand out against the clean lines of minimalist garments.

The monochromatic color palette is the thing of Spring 2024 season but it seems it will continue a little longer. What do you think about Donna Karan’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection?
