FW24 runways energised the classic check pattern, delivering fresh interpretations that ranged from bold statements to subtle sophistication. Designers reimagined this timeless pattern through innovative cuts, unexpected colour combinations, and distinctive details.

Red Takes Charge 

The season saw a dominant wave of red-toned checks, with Louis Vuitton leading the charge through a textured peak coat featuring large-scale red and black patterns. Undercover offered their take with a bias-cut design, bringing movement to the traditional check through innovative pattern placement. The collection went further with head-to-toe check styling, amplifying the pattern's impact.

Innovation in Detail

Nicholas Daley brought warmth to the trend with an orange-toned check jacket, elevated by a contrast collar and body rib. The collection's standout feature? Fringe details at the sleeves that add artistic flair to functional design. N. Hoolywood pushed boundaries with a multi-coloured check that injects contemporary energy into traditional patterns.

Alternative Approaches

Comme Des Garcons and Martine Rose challenged conventions with their alternative interpretations, while Kolor introduced playful elements through a purple-toned padded jacket. For those seeking versatility, Random Identities delivered with an earthy-toned piece, while Fendi refined the trend with a grey/black shacket that bridges casual and formal territories.
