Florentina Leitner Fall/Winter 2024

The Antwerp-based Austrian designer Florentina Leitner unveiled her captivating Fall/Winter 2024 collection, “L’Autrichienne”, drawing profound influence from a celebrated Austrian historical figure. Her show is primed to be a spectacular conjunction of feminine allure and refined grace, painting a modern portrait of Marie Antoinette through couture.

Channelling the essence of Sofia Coppola’s renowned film, the line-up embodies the essence of a chic and self-assured woman with a penchant for canines, bows, and shimmering detail. Leitner’s blend of history with a contemporary zest weaves a fashion story that transcends time. The designer weaves her hallmark style into each creation, offering an entrancing and cohesive collection for the upcoming season. Each piece meticulously fuses historical references with Leitner’s stylistic hallmark, ensuring a display that mesmerizes with poised elegance.

Lavish fabrics take the forefront, introducing an eclectic fusion of ornate embellishments and refreshing contemporary touches. Screen-printed Poodle tees, alongside edgy biker jackets in opulent velvet, come together with faux fur highlights.

Graceful outlines juxtapose eye-catching elements, synthesizing the grandeur of past eras with a modern-day sharpness. Puffed florals and voluminous sleeves channel the ornate aesthetic of the 18th century, yet are reimagined through modern cuts and whimsical patterns, lending the lineup a blend of wit and finesse. On the footwear front, Leitner partners with sneaker brand “ATCROX” to debut pearl-studded velvet sneakers and dazzling silver shoes, nodding to the opulence of Marie Antoinette’s court.
