Looks: Vaquera Spring/Summer 2024

"Vaquera, the New York City-based company founded by Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee, just put on another outstanding display during Paris Fashion Week, this time getting inspiration for Spring/Summer 2024 from the city's particular club scene."

Attendees were stationed around the runway with their dependable phones in hand, and the filthy, underground theater was awash with quick camera flashes in an attempt to mimic late-night paparazzi. Vaquera's bold and unapologetic identity was evident throughout 41 distinct styles and was highlighted by mesh bodysuits with breast outlines, oversized shirts (a tribute to Wall Street guys), and "I Heart NY" shoulder bags, just in case the collection theme wasn't obvious enough.

Following the clubwear motif were paint-splattered dresses, floor-length furs, puffy ball gowns, and cut-out trousers, all of which served to further convey the idea that in New York, anyone can dress however they like.

Vaquera returned to its rebellious roots last season, bringing New York's opulent club culture to Paris for SS24. The basement location was illuminated with quick camera flashes that mimicked nighttime paparazzi, which were offset with scary high-pitched sounds. Attendees gathered around the runway with their phones in hand, hoping to catch a glimpse of Vaquera's glitterati.
