Rabanne’s Resort 24 collection is a captivating amalgamation of electric energy and Parisian panache. Against a backdrop of photo projections showcasing the Eiffel Tower and Trocadero, the collection breathes new life into references from the ’70s and ’90s, reinventing them with a modern twist.

The essence of this collection lies in its celebration of ease and individuality, where evening wear seamlessly merges with everyday attire. The long dresses, crafted from a variety of materials and silhouettes, mesmerise onlookers with their beguiling charm. From the gathered silk jersey to the body-hugging knit, each piece exudes a distinct allure.

Standout pieces include a sheer sheath adorned with intricate metal mesh and the stretch-velour dress featuring a gathered torso in a shade of candy pink. Beyond their visual appeal, these pieces also effortlessly encapsulate the carefree spirit of the season.

Smart details, such as straps resembling ice cubes and belts adorned with draped chains, add an unexpected twist. At the same time, rivets and metal balls serve as focal points, accentuating the captivating silhouettes. Grunge takes on a festive attitude, with slip dresses bedecked in lustrous metal mesh, and halter tops exuding a youthful exuberance when matched with cashmere shorts. This captivating intermingling of extravagant and relaxed components re-asserts the essence of the Maison’s DNA.

In collaboration with New Rock, the collection features boots that epitomise elevated grunge, blending effortlessly with the overall aesthetic. Statement bags add a touch of refined practicality, including the compact-yet-slouchy Rabanne shoulder style, and raffia iterations such as the spacious cabas, and the small bucket bag embellished with contrasting black stripes. Not to be forgotten are the iconic 1969 pastilles, making a dazzling return in gleaming copper. Tubular mesh accessories, such as the magnet choker and bracelet effortlessly elevate any ensemble and add an edgy touch to this free-spirited season.

With its eclectic references, attention to detail and seamless blend of opulence and effortlessness, this collection stands as a testament to the Maison’s artistic vision, forever pushing the boundaries of fashion with an unwavering youthful spirit.
