Rosie Assoulin Spring 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
Rosie Assoulin makes happy clothes. The designer is known for her exuberant use of color and whimsical proportions. Her most recent resort collection marked 10 years in business, and the contemplative and reflective mood she found herself in continued this season as well. “Spring, in all its abundance, is a reminder that we are here to grow. In a way, it’s a, urging us to savor the fertility of the season, with the knowledge of its impermanence.
“We just wanted to take a moment and sit down,” Assoulin said. “We love to do what we do. We wanted to bring optimism, color, hope, and a little bit of humor.” The clothes this season felt uniformly easy. While Assoulin has the ability to sculpt a complex gown, that wasn’t really the focus here. Instead, soft suiting in shades of pink and green, silk dresses with “wildflower” prints, and matching sets drew the eye.
The designer clearly had fun making clothes out of horizontal strips of organza to create a “mille-feuille” effect. This technique was repeated in a deep brown crop top, a banana yellow midi skirt, a mini with a blue bodice and red skirt, and several rainbow dresses. They looked airy, effortless. Indeed, the best pieces of the collections were the ones that didn’t look like they were trying at all. That’s one of Assoulin’s great gifts: making something really spectacular look utterly breezy.
