As we delve into Laagam’s latest offerings, inspired by the high fashion AW24 collections seen at Paris Fashion Week, let's explore how Laagam is making high fashion accessible to everyone, enabling the recreation of luxurious runway looks without breaking the bank. From the streets of Barcelona to the global stage, Laagam is redefining fashion, one unique piece at a time.
Check out a few of my favourite ways in which Laagam's latest collection allows you to recreate the stunning looks from AW24 runways, blending the essence of luxury with the charm of everyday wear.
Collared Leather Jacket Magic:
Inspired by the luxurious runways of Chanel, Hermes, Valentino, and Victoria Beckham, Laagam's 'Motley Faux Leather Jacket' stands as a testament to the brand's knack for bringing runway looks to the everyday wardrobe. This piece not only mirrors the elegance seen on the AW24 runways but does so with an approachable flair, allowing you to embody high fashion without the high price.
Red Leather Coordination:
The AW24 runways were ablaze with red statement pieces, a trend Laagam captures beautifully with the Alexa Faux Leather Jacket and Frankie Faux Leather Skirt. Drawing inspiration from fashion giants like Gucci, Bottega, and Hermes, these pieces allow you to make a bold statement in red, echoing the vibrant energy of Paris Fashion Week.
Double Denim Layered Look:
Channelling a Miu Miu-inspired mob wives vibe, Laagam's De-Nimes Indigo Jacket and Jeans are perfect for those looking to embrace the double denim trend. This co-ord, when layered with a long fur coat, epitomises the understated chic that was prevalent on the runways, bringing a touch of high fashion to your daily ensemble.
Cream and Black Pleated Perfection:
The Karenina Short Dress and Gemini Draped Top from Laagam pay homage to the iconic silhouettes of Schiaparelli, offering a budget-friendly option to recreate these runway looks. The contrast of cream pleated fabrics with black embodies the essence of elegance and sophistication.
Denim and a Red Pop:
Inspired by the Self Portrait's AW24 campaign, the Thelma Low Waist Denim Skirt paired with The Darling Red Shopper Bag encapsulates the trend of incorporating pops of red into your outfit. This ensemble, reminiscent of the styles seen on Bottega, Isabel Marant, and Chanel runways, showcases how Laagam enables you to bring runway flair into everyday fashion.
Bow-Motifs:
Their jewellery collaboration with Rigido introduces a lineup of exquisite bow-shaped pieces that effortlessly blend contemporary style with timeless elegance. The Vega Silver Earrings, Serpens Silver Ring, Vega Silver Ear Cuff, and the Hydra Silver Necklace are standout pieces that echo the sophistication and artistic flair seen in Chanel’s runway looks. These accessories, particularly the bow-shaped pendant necklace, are reminiscent of the overwhelming presence of bow motifs in Love Shack Fancy's AW24 campaign, showcasing how Laagam is in perfect harmony with the latest fashion trends.
Metallic Marvels:
The AW season's emphasis on metallics is effortlessly captured by Laagam's Studio 54 Pants and Rue Low Waist Gold Pants. Whether in gold or silver, these trousers offer a way to shine brightly, inspired by the metallic trends of Isabel Marant, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton.
Delicate Lace and Feminine Flair:
For those inspired by the coquette aesthetics of Chloe, Zimmerman, and Love Shack Fancy, Laagam's Dafne Lace Blouse is a dream come true. This piece embodies the ultra-feminine vibe seen in AW24 collections, making high fashion attainable and wearable.
Outerwear with a Statement:
The Cobra Burgundy Trench and Dark Brown Sienna Teddy Coat from Laagam are perfect examples of how the brand brings runway trends to the everyday. Inspired by the use of red and brown leather in the collections of Isabel Marant, Bottega, and Hermes, these outerwear pieces allow you to make a statement while staying on budget.
Elevate your style with Laagam's Luna Faux Leather Jacket, another radiant homage to the metallic trend dominating AW24 runways, particularly mirrored in Coperni's collection. Perfect for adding a bold statement to any outfit, the Luna Jacket is your ticket to capturing the essence of high fashion with everyday practicality.
Laagam's ability to distil the essence of high fashion AW24 runways into attainable pieces is unparalleled. With each carefully crafted garment, Laagam invites you to embrace luxury, sustainability, and individuality, all while making a fashion statement that is uniquely yours.
