Close-ups, zoom-ins, and screenshots straight from our Fashion Month archive.
Fashion Month is a visual feast of silhouettes, volumes, and grand narratives, but let’s be honest: the real magic often hides in the tight crops. Those micro-details that escape a distracted eye and end up straight in your phone gallery to become pure inspiration for the upcoming season.
Here is our SS27.jpeg selection: the details, accessories, and textures we saved, zoomed in on, and archived with our screenshots from the runways of New York, London, Milan, and Paris.
Rich Prints, Textures & Wooden Sculptures: The World of Dries Van Noten
Under the creative direction of Julian Klausner, Dries Van Noten reaffirms its crown in the art of mixing and matching patterns, materials, and proportions. Among our unmissable SS27 screenshots, the combination of lilac fluid shirts with yellow embroidery, pinstripe trousers, and blazers with oversized printed pink stars stands out, along with tops covered in dangling 3D flowers paired with gradient sea-green skirts. To complete the vision, sculptural footwear takes center stage: from bubblegum pink pumps with carved wooden heels to boat-shoe loafers in crackled brown leather with cord laces.
Crystal Bows & Sculptural Heels: Prada’s Skirt & Shoe Obsession
In Milan, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons masterfully reinvented the skirt, in lengths ranging from mini to midi: on one side, semi-sheer organza options adorned with powder-blue bows and crystal brooch details; on the other, tailored gray skirts featuring side slits that reveal purple panels encrusted with dark gems. On the feet, black leather pumps and slingbacks stride down the runway with fluid, curved heels and sharp open-toe cuts.
Sagged Tights, Translucent Pouches & Pasties: Julie Kegels’ Anti-Perfectionism
For the Apple of the Day collection, Julie Kegels crafted one of the most original visual stories of the season: her mint-green patent pumps with sharp square toes met sheer tights deliberately worn “sagging” at the crotch, clear pouches filled with loose sequins at the bottom, and an audacious pairing of structured black leather blazers with embellished pasties peek-a-booing over sheer tulle.
Lyric-Engraved Pumps: Paloma Wool’s Wearable Storytelling
In Paris, Paloma Wool laser-engraved lyrics from Brat Star’s track “Margot Tenenbaum” (“insecure and pretty”, “it’s everyone’s problem”) directly onto the leather of bags and toe-baring butter-yellow pumps. It’s an intimate touch that turns footwear into a page you want to re-read and photograph up close.
Coquette Tech Utility: The Sandy Liang X3000 Bag
From New York, Sandy Liang fused pale pink satin with outdoor-inspired nylon straps and translucent buckle clips. Styled low on the hips, the bag, featuring the signature Sandy Liang X3000 patch, embodies the ideal blend of coquette romance and gorpcore functionality.
Kitsch Prints & Porcelain Belts: Ashley Williams’ Graphic Nostalgia
In London, Ashley Williams served up camp aesthetics imbued with nostalgic flair: beyond the eye-catching belts featuring Siamese cats in faux-porcelain plastic, the brand leaned heavily into retro graphics. Think cat-infused Toile de Jouy prints and and grandma-style floral prints.
Floral Embroidered Flats: Cecilie Bahnsen’s Poetic Romance
In Paris, Cecilie Bahnsen transformed the ultra-flat ballet shoe into a wearable miniature artwork. Crafted in elasticated black satin, the flats are peppered with 3D beaded floral embroideries and finished with thin bows holding sky-blue flower charms that float with every step.
Playful Micro-Buttons: Marni’s Asymmetric Button Detailing
In Milan, Meryll Rogge for Marni brings an eccentric, raw, and playfulness-infused twist to SS27 tailoring. The detail to zoom in on? Sets of tiny mint-green buttons placed asymmetrically along contrast black stitching on off-white wrap skirts and layered bloomers. A subtle, quirky hardware choice that elevates deconstructed separates into a charmingly undone statement.
Micro-Beads, Minimal Knit & Charm Straps: Loewe’s Footwear Universe
In Paris, Loewe, under the creative direction of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, turned shoes into collectible art pieces: mules entirely covered in a mosaic of tiny floral seed beads, minimalist-sporty pumps crafted in stretch knit with micro kitten heels, and delicate strappy sandals adorned with dangling keys, charms, and archival trinkets.
