In no time at all we will be back in the midst of another
ready-to-wear runway season. Copenhagen began in the last week of
January, followed by ‘the big four’ cities that show through early
March. In addition to all of the clothing on display, it’s a time to
review footwear, handbags and other accessories. Afterall, for the
world’s luxury brands, they are the real moneymakers. For FW24, look
out for strong statement accessories that become the focal point of
the look.
