Though Kim Jones has often set his shows within a speculative, sci-fi future – the Hajime Sorayama collaboration, the 76-metre moving walkway of AW19 – the clothes remain tactile and romantic. SS24 marked five years since the designer’s hiring and Jones used the occasion to megamix the work of his predecessors like a scientist fusing DNA samples. He referenced Yves Saint Laurent, Gianfranco Ferré, and Marc Bohan, embellishing rough-hewn jewels on mismatched twinsets, slicing tweed trousers at the ankle, and appropriating the house’s cannage motif across jacquard knits.
