AKNVAS once again collaborated with footwear brand, Stuart Weitzman to create footwear for the AKNVAS FW24 collection as a continuation and elevation of their existing partnership with AKNVAS.
Collection Inspiration: AKNVAS’ Fall 2024 runway show is a testament to artistic inspiration and timeless elegance. From tactile knitwear infused with playful pom pom details paying homage to Richard Artschwager’s enigmatic art to faux fur pieces echoing the ethereal charm of John Currin’s paintings, each garment tells a story of creativity and sophistication. The collection seamlessly blends minimal tailoring in pinstripe fabrics and stone-washed denim, reflecting AKNVAS’ DNA of clean lines and subtle details.
Meanwhile, 3D flowers bloom in stone-washed denim and crochet, capturing the essence of an enchanted Roman garden. Finally, draped sequin dresses pay tribute to Rome and Currin’s artistry, embodying the grandeur of Roman architecture and the emotive brushstrokes of Currin’s masterpieces. Together, these concepts evoke a powerful narrative of beauty, craftsmanship, and timeless allure.
