To welcome the Fall/Winter 2024 season later this year, fashion brand JORDANLUCA unveils its special looks for the season during Milan Fashion Week. There was a highlight on a specific item: the balloon as both designers Luca Marchetto and Jordan Bowen aimed to bring attention to the delicate item that is full of hope.
The show notes, "There is a bittersweet, nostalgic charm to brightly-colored party balloons – they evoke gatherings, childhood, youthful optimism, play, unguarded happiness. There is a hopefulness in the way we give them life with our mouths." This was the main theme as the show featured 1,500 balloons that were designed by artist Dominic Myatt which joined models dressed in utilitarian looks and Brutalist themes.
