Ami Alexandre Mattiussi RTW Fall 2024

Bonjour, Paris! Or should that be bonne nuit? Alexandre Mattiussi‘s fall show was inspired by apartment-block neighbors going about their business at the break of day.

He showed once again at the Tennis Club de Paris in the 16th arrondissement, transforming the vast space with a grand building façade, and turned the runway into a series of streets where all sorts of characters — night owls, office workers, and early risers dashing out for a café and croissant — came and went.

Looking chic at that hour is no easy task, but Mattiussi managed it. He sent out men and women, young and old, anonymous and famous — Diane Kruger, Lou Doillon and Laetitia Casta all took part — in a lineup of mostly tailored clothing with luxe touches and dollops of sparkle.

A clutch of “Belle de Jour” types wore belted wool trenches paired with tall, chunky-heel boots, or swingy, double-breasted coats dotted with domed gold buttons.

Men’s tailoring was soft and laid-back with luxed-up workwear styles, including a roomy navy jacket with patch pockets. One model sported a denim shirt — with a tie — blue jeans and a tailored topcoat.

For the bohemians on the block, there was a fuzzy vest top and a trench with giant fur sleeves and vintage feel. Those with punk leanings could choose from a lineup of combat boots and long, roomy coats with fur collars and a military edge.

Eveningwear was cozy, and sparkled plenty. Mattiussi paired an off-the-shoulder black minidress, and a flapper-ish sequin slip dress, with thick, wooly tights and tall, chunky-heel boots to keep out the cold.

It was a clever way to showcase a quiet luxury collection, and a great chance for the audience to be nosy neighbors, wondering where everyone was headed, or what they were really wearing under those tightly-belted trenches.
