A Dream Within A Dream | PF24

The pre-fall 2024 collection is based on a revival of the 30s through the minimalist prism of the 90s. Molded silhouettes with a subtle plasticity. Deep pleats unorthodoxly placed on sleeves and skirts lend a controlled movement even to all-silk satin fabrics. The femininity of the 30s dries up and becomes more androgynous, even when the waist is accentuated. Through the prism of the 90s, even the long dresses of the 30s acquire a fresher aesthetic, transported to 2024.

Comfortness is one of the main axes around which the whole collection moves. The bodices of the shirtdresses are widened, the shoulders are lowered, and the cuffs are pulled down, reminiscent of men's shirts worn through skirts. Pants give the impression of a skirt, through deep pleats, reminiscent nostalgically of the a la garcon pajama pants of that decade. The more cocktail part of the collection borrows geometric cuts and asymmetric gutters of that era, always filtered by a more minimal contemporary aesthetic. Silk crepe dresses sculpt the female body by restricting movement around the calves with unorthodoxly placed oblique triangles and eccentric deep pleats.
The dark aesthetic of that era affects the color palette with the strong presence of black, purple eggplant, brown ganache, midnight plum, dark mulberry red, deep claret, and night sky. Distinctive smoothy two-tones or classic off-white-black combinations give this year's Grintela shirtdress a deux-pieces feel. A few Dark floral patterns on a ganache or black base, "disrupt" the otherwise silent timeless monochrome of the collection. White and off-white poplins give a touch of purity and innocence to the otherwise androgynous austere shirtdresses. The classic Grintela striped poplins are dyed in the above shades, maintaining the characteristic identity of the brand.
