Jorge Vazquez Spring Summer 2024 Fashion Show

In a world where towering platforms and impossible heels often rule the runways and stages, it's a refreshing change to see a designer opt for flat ballet pumps for their models. This decision not only brings comfort to the models during the show but also earns the appreciation of every client who visits the atelier afterward. In a flawless display of comfort, Jorge Vázquez has chosen to complete his looks with backless flat shoes. Taking inspiration from the 1960s, the lines of his dresses are, in general, straight and voluminous. Has he found the perfect balance between elegance and practicality? This is the impression one gets from the Galician designer's Spring Summer 2024 collection, presented on the opening day of Fashion Week Madrid at IFEMA.

The retro aesthetic of this collection is especially evident in the cylindrical silhouettes that harken back to the tunics Yves Saint Laurent envisioned in 1960s Morocco – a decade that Jorge Vázquez had previously explored in collections like Autumn/Winter 2023-24. The '60s influence is also palpable in the hats, gloves, makeup, and certain pieces like safari jackets and wide-legged trousers.

The innovation in this collection lies in the color palette, with softer shades of mauve and blue compared to previous shows, and the daring combination of guest attire with flat shoes. The touch of sophistication and festivity – the natural habitat of Vázquez's creations – is achieved through sequins paired with feathers or gemstone jewelry. And, of course, there are the prints – this time, more subtle – that never fail to captivate the Jorge Vázquez devotees. Among those attending the show from the front row are well-known names like Lulu Figueroa and Sassa de Osma, who are part of the exclusive circle of Jorge Vázquez's loyal guests.
