THE BIGGEST FASHION WEEKS THIS YEAR
Twice a year the most fashionable cities in the world play host to incredible runway shows, exhibitions and parties. Whether you are planning to attend in February and March for the autumn/winter collections or September and October for 2025’s spring/summer looks, each Fashion Week is a chance to immerse yourself in sartorial brilliance.
Knightsbridge Property & Lifestyle Management have access to the biggest shows in the fashion week calendar. Designers including Burberry, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Versace, Prada and Bottega Veneta.
New York Fashion Week, 8th – 14th Feb, Sept 2024
New York Fashion Week is the first to kick off each season of the most prestigious fashion shows. The headquarter is usually Spring Studios on Varick Street but expect catwalks throughout the city at iconic venues such as the Lincoln Centre. Some of the most popular shows include Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera, Anna Sui and Ralph Lauren, while Virgil Abloh’s Off-White is also a must-see. It is well worth taking the time to look at first-time additions to the schedule for newly-discovered talent. While in New York, be sure to visit the Soho Grand Club Room for jazz performances in the lounge.
London Fashion Week, 16th – 20th Feb, Sept 2024
London Fashion Week is often thought of as being more experimental than other cities. Plus, it is one of the best Fashion Weeks for after-parties, with trendy spots taken over by models, celebrities and brands. There are plenty of up-and-coming designers to take note of here, including the British Fashion Council’s NEWGEN picks. For sure-fire hits, designer shows to look out for include Burberry, Richard Quinn and Roksanda. Last year’s City-Wide Celebration saw workshops, Q&As, performances and workshops take place around the city to provide inspiration outside of the shows. We are expecting a similar event this year along with a push towards sustainability and zero-waste creations.
Milan Fashion Week, 20th – 26th Feb, Sept 2024
Milan is the place to catch some of the world’s best-known design houses including Prada, Fendi, Versace and Armani. Many brands have undergone changes of direction for the ‘24 season and it will be exciting to see where Tom Ford, Moschino and Gucci take their next collections. While in Milan, don’t pass up the opportunity to sample the best restaurants and bars the city has to offer. Seta and Langosteria Café are delicious dinner spots, while quirky bar The Spirit serves up the city’s best cocktails.
Paris Fashion Week, 26th Feb – 5th March, Sept 2024
Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Dior are mainstays of Paris Fashion Week, making this one of the most exciting events of the season. The seasonal shows are also often a chance to see some of the top British fashion houses. For accommodation near the heart of the city, choose Hôtel Plaza Athénée, situated a short drive from popular Fashion Week venues Carrousel du Louvre and Palais de Tokyo.
