Taken from the November 2024 issue of Wallpaper* (on international newsstands now), sculptural fall fashion meets a line-up of contemporary vases, ceramics and vessels, their undulating shapes and intriguing surfaces echoing the season’s tactile mood.

There is Esther Palmer’s twisting, wheel-thrown Terra Incanta series (2023), displayed alongside an equally totemic look from Daniel Roseberry’s Schiaparelli; the striped surface of Johannes Nagel’s Feldlinien/Schwarz #14 (2022) grasped against a near-matching Y/Project dress by Glenn Martens; or the sculptural line of a Victoria Beckham gown lain next to Janet Ann Lines’ Unknown #12 (2023), which the artist says is ‘profoundly abstract, difficult to grasp and define... a mysterious abstraction’.

Photographed by Charlotte Krieger, with fashion by Wallpaper* fashion and creative director Jason Hughes and interiors by Olly Mason, the juxtapositions capture A/W 2024’s mood – one of tactile pleasures and statuesque silhouettes.
