Philosophy FW24: The mastery of cinema meets fashion

For FW24, Lorenzo Serafini pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock by presenting a key wardrobe to identify a femininity that, while inspired by ‘50s, opens new paths to a more intimate and sophisticated beauty. Sometimes, fashion manages to scream and be heard even in extremely silent ways.

Moodboard

The mastery of cinema meets that of clothing: Philosophy’s runway is full of suspense (as the master of thriller would want) and plays on the beauty of cuts and materials. Precise silhouettes, oversized coats, sleeveless suits, strict jackets, wrap skirts, retro inspirations, chunky sweaters, and elegant evening dresses create a dynamism capable of adding lightness even to the most winter looks. A practical collection that meets the needs of today’s woman.

Details

Soft oversized hand clutches, leather gloves, dresses adorned with micro pearls, discreet necklines, wrap skirts, oversized buttons, Grace Kelly-style outerwear, and an explicit reference to the iconic shower scene from Psycho with the towel-dress enveloping the body. The colorful satin flats and décolleté are the result of a collaboration with Malone Souliers. A skillful craftsmanship that knows how to value comfort and femininity.

Our favorite looks

Materials are indeed protagonists: soft, shiny, with a trompe l’oeil effect that speaks of experimentation. From jersey to shiny, from silk to see-through, creating sinuous movements. The palette develops, almost in a dramatic crescendo, from the solid tones of greens and browns passing through burgundy, black, gray, and finally reaching the more vibrant tones of pink, yellow, and green, proposed either in looks or, in contrast, in accessories.

Beauty

The runway makeup, curated by KIKO Milano with Siddartha Simone as the head makeup artist, features radiant skin, glossy lips, and a focus on the eyes with silver or golden metallic shades. A minimal yet sophisticated look with a glowing finish. The base is kept hydrated and soft, almost creating a porcelain effect, while the eyebrows are combed naturally and set with KIKO Clear Gel. The eyelids are softly illuminated with glossy eyeshadows, using KIKO Water Eyeshadow N01 for silver solutions and KIKO Water Eyeshadow N02 for golden ones. On the lips, KIKO Water Eyeshadow N01 is applied, enhancing their shape and adding a touch of light, especially in the central part. Softly styled hair encapsulates an idea of chic and refined beauty that would appeal to the heroines of Hitchcock’s films. But, above all, it captivates those who observe the collection.
