At Vogue Runway, we meticulously analyze thousands of runway photographs each year, a process that truly unveils the hidden gems and defining characteristics of various collections. Even for those who attend the shows in person, the close-up examination of these details offers an entirely new layer of appreciation, revealing construction intricacies, such as the elaborate embellishments on Dilara Findikoglu’s bodice, that might otherwise go unnoticed. What proves most fascinating are those detailed shots that transcend their original context, transforming into almost abstract compositions where the human form recedes, leaving behind pure shapes, colors, and textures.
