Ruohan RTW Spring 2024

In a languid and reflective spring present, Ruohan Nie continued a three-part narrative arc begun final season and set to conclude subsequent fall on how the world is perceived.

The designer staged a collection of small runway reveals on the Palais de Tokyo, with drapes hanging from the ceiling heightening the meditative vibe of her procession of longline silhouettes.

For this second chapter, Nie centered on the road. “Factors kind strains [which then] kind types,” she defined backstage, drawing a comparability together with her design course of that goes the opposite approach, from the macro scale of idea to the element stage.  

This knowledgeable each side of her lineup, from the very vertical proportions of dusters, flowing trousers and curve-skimming attire to various kinds of pleats and crinkly textures harking back to waves.

Good concepts and attention-grabbing instructions abounded, together with summer-weight knitwear separates and dressier appears that Nie stated signaled her model’s readiness to “stage up.”

However the profusion of lengthy and free drapes lacked definition when un-anchored by tailoring, and as an entire, did not coalesce right into a cohesive ensemble.
