Rabanne Spring Summer 2024 Fashion Show

Julien Dossena transported Rabanne to a fantastical realm for the Spring Summer 2024 collection, where models transformed into gilded Amazons, inter-galactic empresses, and glittering classical goddesses. The collection emanated an air of mysticism, with inspirations ranging from Ibiza in the '70s to mystical priestesses in ancient temples.

Dossena's signature style of opulence and maximal texture was on full display, with metallic fabrics, fringed handkerchief-point micro-tunics, and draped hoods remaining central to the collection. However, what sets Dossena apart is his ability to push the boundaries of technique and imagination.

The collection featured innovative draping and wrapping of non-mesh fabrics, including a standout black sari-like dress that appeared to loop endlessly at the back. The artisanal craftsmanship was evident in the shaggy wool fringing, while a futuristic pajama suit dazzled with its pale, frosted, all-over paillettes.

Moments like these elevated the collection to a couture-like level, showcasing Dossena's prowess and perhaps influenced by his experience working with haute couture ateliers at Jean Paul Gaultier. With the imminent launch of Rabanne's Dossena-designed H&M collection, it's clear that Julien Dossena is making a significant mark in the fashion world, and this show further solidified his position in the industry.
