Études N°23 – Spring Summer 2024

Discover Études SS24 introducing a new space-time concept, in a radical way of experiencing reality.

 

In these zinc mazes, time is suspended, and space is liberated, encouraging a distancing from everyday life. The “CRÉPUSCULE” collection – named after the fading light of twilight – conjures up a feeling of lightness infused with adrenaline, over-stimulating the senses and evoking the present moment.

The collection features a collaboration with French artist Julian Farade, who has produced drawings exclusively for Études. Farade has reinterpreted the world of Parisian rooftops through bird, chimney, and butterfly motifs, blending figuration and abstraction. His colorful, chaotic shapes adorn several pieces, including a denim jacket, baggy pants, and a shirt.

Space is revisited with references to streetwear culture, skateboarding, and soft tailoring. There is some savvy statement pieces. The brand’s signature stylistic imprint plays with structure and movement, workwear patina, and streetwear comfort. Tailoring elegance meets functional allure, while outdoor influences and technical details soften the sartorial style. The collection features revisited bombers, jumpsuits, jackets, and trench coats with gathered sleeves, wide nylon multi-pocket pants, oversized jackets, sophisticated double-breasted coats, and a technical-outdoor harness. The color palette features pigeon blue, zinc, and charcoal grays, joined by black and navy hues reminiscent of a deep night. This is great for both minimalistic and maximalist fashion enthusiasts. 

Études’ Spring Summer 2024 show took place on a rooftop parking lot in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, at the foot of Montmartre, overlooking the city’s skyline. The show was set to a live performance from DJ and techno music producer The Hacker.
