Wiederhoeft fall 2024
In the vast landscape of New York Fashion Week, Wiederhoeft is one brand doing things entirely differently. Creative director Jackson Wiederhoeft spent time at Thom Browne before opening his own whimsically dark brand, and it shows. Meaning that many of the pieces capture the allure of couture-made fashion with incredibly well-executed details. Just imagine: corsets rendered in blue-grey Harris Tweed, with hand-beaded breastplates. Or bow-bondage maxi dresses in pink silk double-faced satin, covered in a sea black faille striped bows and delicately dangling glass chandelier crystals.
The distinct coding at Wiederhoeft revolves around fantasy. The gowns and outerwear especially fulfill that incredible fairytale aesthetic. Few brands can pull off using hand-embroidery, ostrich, marabou and coque feathers, sequins and crystal beading in a way that still feels deeply edgy. It was also nice to see some more everyday details woven into Wiederhoeft’s fall 2024 collection, including super wide-leg pants and glittering t-shirts paired with heavily embellished skirts.
One can always count on Wiederhoeft to transport its fans to a different world. In recent seasons, every Wiederhoeft show has contained an element of performance. But for fall 2024, all eyes were on the clothes in the stark fog-filled runway at Starrett-Lehigh. Sure, that totally over the top, mesmerizing element may have felt like it was missing, but this format definitely allowed the guests to take a closer look (and put more of a focus) on the delicious details of every single piece. In that way, it was an incredibly decadent experience.
