LONGCHAMP has recently unveiled its autumn-winter 2024 collection inspired by silhouettes that can take women from day to night, prioritising comfort well still exuding a sense of sophistication and style.
The Longchamp woman, mindful of her well-being, enjoys time spent chatting over coffee at a cafe or attending a yoga class. She is a woman on the go with an unwavering commitment to elegance.
“I love the idea of balance between elegance and sensuality, not forgetting a certain dynamism and a good dose of well-being,” announces Sophie Delafontaine, artistic director of Longchamp.
The collection sees versatile fabrics such as figure-hugging stretchable leather, which is washable and leaves behind no trace of creasing. Available in a tee-shirt dress silhouette, the fabric allows its wearer to exude a comfortable luxury in various style adaptions, as it takes one from casual to chic with all but just the binding of a belt.
Knitwear, another material prominent in the AW24 collection, creates flattering silhouettes while leaving a range of movement.
Looking through a lens of environmental consciousness, the brand utilised a recycled polyester this season, fabricating kimono jackets which can take one from their work desk to a disco with its extreme versatility.
Acknowledgement of the Le Pliage bag is palpable throughout the collection, counting the Cabas Longchamp Re-Play crafted from leftover nylon and a jacket adorned with pockets evocative of Le Pliage flap.
Another exceptional addition to the collection is the sophisticated trench coat, with a distinctive vigour innate to the American Teddy jacket.
As for shoes and accessories, the Longchamp woman rotates between a simple ballet flat and a boot containing a sneaker sole. Finalising various looks, the Daylong bag crafted from calfskin leather is reminiscent of a bowling bag, and the Le Roseau featuring a dainty bamboo clasp adds a tasteful flair.
“The ultimate goal of this collection? To empower women with clothing that has a strong personality yet is comfortable to wear,” says Sophie Delafontaine. “I love to offer clothes that give women the power to express themselves.”
