Carven Pre-Fall 2024 collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
“It is not a nostalgic or particular prism of a woman,” said Louise Trotter, when asked how the heritage of Carven informs her approach. “It’s that sense of silhouette and sense of proportion with an ease of today.
” Trotter has shown two runway collections since arriving at Carven. But by the quirk of pre-collection timing, this is the first glimpse of fall that customers can get their hands on—and not just at the Carven boutique or Net-a-Porter but at a wider array of stockists. If there is a sense of deference to the archive, it is with a light touch. Mainly, Trotter seems most interested in the 1950s column silhouette, which she might expand slightly in a pair of trousers or adjust proportionally through a more contemporary, tonal layering of a tank dress over a t-shirt. Browsing the lineup, it seemed noteworthy that the first and last looks featured what appeared to be the same ample, softly tailored coat, the former in double-face cashmere, the latter in chocolate wool gabardine. These deftly confirmed what she described as her masculine hand, while establishing that a mannish sensibility can be transposed to feminine silhouettes. See also the double-breasted jacket and turtleneck that give way to a gauzy, slip skirt, which Trotter explained as her ongoing exploration of dressed and undressed. The full-length black dress with straps that unzip—leaving one part to graze the arm if so desired—direct this pursuit into a single, highly desirable piece. Because so few of us have had the opportunity to interface with the brand, the item descriptions illustrate that fabric tactility is important to Trotter; that a sweatshirt in sheepskin or a technical Prince of Wales trouser go above and beyond basic. Discovering that two recurring shoe designs bear landmark names—Vendome for the squared-off slides and Garnier for the padded slippers—is a nice reminder that the house has always been part of the Parisian constellation of couturiers. While Trotter is guiding us towards a Carven that feels sophisticated yet within reach, we’re also seeing her own evolution in the realm of streamlined sportswear. “I want to find solutions for her life, as I do for myself,” she said. “It’s instinctive for me. These are pieces that I appreciate and want to wear.” Other women will, too.
