Parsons BFA Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
In the golden age of couture it wasn’t unusual for collections to consist of a hundred or so looks; that doesn’t begin to hold a candle to Parsons’s BFA Fashion show. The class of 2024, numbering 275 students, said course director Marie Geneviève Cyr, is the school’s largest; and the show, with 175 exits, its most inclusive ever. Each of the five pathways within the program were represented.
Though effectively organized with subtle sub-themes, the one-look-per-student-approach gives a sense of multiplicity rather than narrative, akin to looking at a pointillist painting close up, where you see the individual dots but lack the perspective needed to get the whole picture. Thankfully, the school has awhere a deeper dive into the collections is available.
In terms of the show, dramatic silhouettes were dominant. When following the natural body, hips, shoulders, and bottoms were often the focus. Comme de Garçons’s Rei Kawakubo seemed to have influenced styles with bulbous rounds. Monsters and other creatures spoke to the post-human theme that several students wrote about. Of note were the number of briefcases used as accessories.
Nostalgia and anemoia continues to enrapture students, who looked into their personal histories or into a culture, queer history being a subject of several theses. More critical looks backwards were shared by students considering the effects of colonialism. Some students grappled with the idea of Americana.
Many collections were made sustainably, but that was often part of the narrative rather than the main plot. Based on a review of the students’ statements, they are interested in using fashion for storytelling and communication and see garments as tools for change, connection, and self-expression.
