Leonard Paris FW24 at Paris Fashion Week, Leonard Paris unveiled Fall Winter 2024 – 2025 collection with entitled LA ESCAPADA at Paris Fashion Week.
“I imagined a Parisian woman traveling to South America. She adapts to the local style while retaining her original allure. It’s the Parisian chic meets the Latino fatale” creative director GEORG LUX
What if we were to seek the sun in the land of the Mayas? Exuding warmth in both materials and colors, this new LEONARD PARIS collection bridges the gap between Parisian chic and the famboyance of the Latino spirit.
This Leonard Paris Fall Winter 2024 – 2025, our ladychic escapes to South America. Her bohemian-luxe allure takes on a Mexican or Peruvian twist. Dressed in blouses with pufed sleeves, her skirts or dresses are midi-length. She is a confdent woman who doesn’t need high heels to assert herself. She cruises with subtlety, South America simply evoking an allusive destination.
Like the cactus fower, which has become one of the season’s key prints and changes size depending on the model: it can be found in an XXL format, so as to be no more than an illusion on the long, evanescent dresses that are the House’s signature. Each outft is an invitation to travel.
INSPIRATION
Georg Lux likes to draw inspiration from architecture. For Leonard Paris Fall Winter 2024 – 2025, he refers to the ‘‘Ennis House’’ designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles. It is one of a series of buildings known as ‘‘tex-tile block house’’, featuring embossed facades inspired by the Mayan remains of Uxmal, in the Mexican state of Yucatan
KEY LOOK
A chic beige wool dress with Peruvian stripes sets the tone for the Leonard Paris FW24 collection. As does the coat in black wool cloth with Aztec-inspired embroidery in satin thread. It balances the mind-Aztec prints found on a jumpsuit or on fowy evening dresses (in silk seersucker).
Named ‘‘Mexico’’, it features motifs from the Mayan pyramids. It is featured in the Leonard Paris FW24 collection in a variety of colors. Also of note: the historic «JL» logo (for Jacques Leonard) is reinvented in a very Seventies spirit and worn in an all-over pattern on several models.
COLOR
Desert tones (sand, earth) coexist with rich colors (pomegranate red, ruby, pink). The novelty? A touch of black to soften things.
