UPCYCLING WITH BALENCIAGA, MARINE SERRE AND HODAKOVA | PARIS A/W 24 LIVE REVIEW

In his final review of the Paris A/W 24 womenswear season, fashion features editor Joshua Graham considers three brands that similarly explored upcycling; Balenciaga, Marine Serre and Hodakova. Starting with the first (and the biggest of the three brands), Graham breaks down his favourite looks from Balenciaga, including a knicker dress and a two-piece set crafted from reworked dust bags. Still, it was the community-based approach of Parisian Marine Serre and the slow, poetic approach of LVMH Prize semi-finalist Ellen Hodakova which made him optimistic about fashion’s future.
