What we will wear in 2024
With everything back to normal, fashion seems to have a reality check for 2024. Practicality and utility may not be the usual pegs for designers, but functional details and practical cuts can be found in many collections. It’s no wonder that there’s nostalgia for ’90s minimalism —and a reflex for the sensible, like hardworking denim — during these fraught and divisive times. After the revenge shopping right after the pandemic, people are turning to quiet luxury, quality pieces that can last for more than one season. Craft is more important than ever, a luxury we have in abundance in the Philippines with handwoven fabrics and artisanal crafts like embroidery to embellish ternos and couture gowns.
