Statue of Liberty Kruger Industrial Smoothing Shirt

Having analysed the spring/summer 2024 fashion trends for months now (literally), Statue of Liberty Kruger Industrial Smoothing Shirt I’m here to tell you about the ones that are genuinely wearable and will truly affect your wardrobe for the next six months (and beyond, if I have anything to do with it). There’s a lot to talk about for S/S 24, but this hasn’t always been the catwalk way. If all the world’s a stage, Fashion Month has long been the costume cupboard—a trove of froth and tulle, sparkle and glitter designed to catch the eye and hold it. A dressing-up box that, although delightful and entertaining to lose yourself in, doesn’t always hold up in reality. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing—we could all use some fabulous escapism from time to time—but, ultimately, when you venture out from the sanctity of your wardrobe, you need to be able to live in these creations. At least in the physical realm—we’ll get into the virtual later. For spring/summer 2024, I have to applaud designers for creating collections that, yes, hold beauty, but also have a place in the everyday. But first, let’s travel back to September and October of last year and reflect on how things unfolded. Across the four fashion capitals—New York, London, Milan and Paris—a total of 299 designers showcased their collections, 19 new to the Fashion Month circuit, compared to 247 for spring/summer 2023 (credit to the fashion data analysts at Tagwalk for doing these calculations). Growth is a good thing, especially in creative industries, but I found this hard to believe, personally. Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful of designers who couldn’t secure budget to show, or whose brands were lost to greater financial struggles (I still can’t move on from the Christopher Kane-shaped hole that permeated the London schedule). With growth always comes change, and perhaps one of the biggest this season came in the form of a renunciation. Alexander McQueen’s Creative Director Sarah Burton announced that the spring/summer 2024 collection would be her last after 26 years at the brand. Burton had respectfully taken the helm after the British institution’s iconic and groundbreaking founder Lee Alexander McQueen passed away in 2010, with her subsequent collections serving as a love letter to his influence and precociousness. Cate Blanchett attended, Naomi Campbell walked and a standing ovation rang out during the final, tender moments of Paris Fashion Week.

This early Nike running shoe shares its DNA with Onitsuka Tiger’s Aztec model. Statue of Liberty Kruger Industrial Smoothing Shirt It’s essentially the same shoe rebadged, which is the result of an international wholesale partnership and ensuing legal battle between the two brands several decades ago. Without going into the details, suffice to say the Cortez has become a staple in the Nike sneaker universe, unchanged for over 50 years and still as popular as ever. With the Adidas Samba and Nike Dunk madness dying down, those in fashion circles are trying to figure out what the next ‘It’ shoe could be. Due to its simplicity, versatility and timeless looks, our money is on the Cortez. Released in 1998, the intricately detailed Air Max Plus was way ahead of its time in terms of aesthetics. For a start, it took the visible air cushioning to a new level with small air bubbles running through the entire midsole. Secondly, it was a bit of a precursor to the ugly sneaker trend, with its chunky sole, rubberised details and often pretty wild colour schemes. You may also have heard this shoe referred to as the Nike ‘TN’, thanks to the ‘Tuned Air’ tech it debuted. The Air Max Plus’ design was inspired by the palm trees of Florida, with the rubber ‘branches’ running up to the lace loops to help cinch everything down and hold the foot in place. This distinctive look has made the shoe a cultural phenomenon – particularly in Australia where it has long been one of the country’s most popular Nike silhouettes. The Zoom Vomero 5 has proven highly popular since its re-release in 2019. The shoe initially launched in 2011 to a poor reception, but it turns out the world just wasn’t ready for it yet. Fast forward to 2018 and the archive silhouette was chosen by A-Cold-Wall as the canvas for its latest Nike collab, which saw an enormous block added to the heel. When people started chopping these blocks off in order to wear the shoe, it became obvious to Nike that fans were crying out for a general release, so that’s what they gave them. The shoe launched properly in 2019 and was a hit immediately, with hype fuelled by the somewhat limited nature of the release. Resale prices started to soar, and then Nike dropped the shoe again in 2022, helping to cement the Vomero’s place as one of the most popular Nike shoes in recent years.
