Comfort Zone. Gabriela Hearst AW24

Since Gabriela Hearst is freed from Chloé, you would expect the designer to take a bit more creative risks at her namesake brand. The autumn-winter 2024 collection stays grounded in the comfort zone Hearst has carved for herself for the last few years. Slip-dresses with lace-inserts; chunky, knitted coats; proper leathers. Those are investment garments made with the finest techniques. A growing number of brands in New York do that too. And we already know this version of Gabriela very, very well. I wish the designer challenged herself more.
