After each show, I immediately started recapping all of the emerging trends so I can curate the perfect spring wardrobe for 2024. Now, I want to share my findings with you.

Alberta Ferretti
The Alberta Ferretti Milan Fashion SS24 show had nothing but goddess energy throughout. The common thread was the brand’s signature chiffon material draped into ethereal silhouettes. However, there was some interwoven musings of soft tailoring and utilitarian vibes. What I loved most about this collection was the pure feminine power and romantic aesthetic.
Key Takeaways:
- Maxi length silhouette will continue to be critical
- Sheer, body-hugging silhouettes are in
- Loose, yet powerful tailoring

Roberto Cavalli
As soon as you entered the venue where the Roberto Cavalli SS24 collection was being presented, you knew you were in for a treat. Everything from the backdrop to the clothing itself was very much inspired by tropical jungles. The looks were a compilation of saturated hues, textured details, and eye-catching silhouettes.
Key Takeaways:
- Don’t be afraid to play with color
- Feathers, feathers, feathers
- Sheer trend is still very much the moment

Max Mara
If I had to use two words to describe Max Mara, it would be casual and sophisticated. Much like the aforementioned collections, the looks were incredibly powerful. But what was unique about Max Mara was the elevation of everyday silhouettes. A pencil skirt felt completely new with an oversized work shirt.
Key Takeaways:
- Hot pants are, indeed, hot
- Monochrome is always a good idea
