Givenchy
Givenchy‘s Spring-Summer 2024 Women’s Collection delves into an understanding of elegance shaped by its genetic makeup and a modern craving for minimalism. Creative Director Matthew M. Williams channels this ethos through his innate approach to the brand, constructing a contemporary language of grace reflected in the effortless style of the women around him. Delicate dresses present bold new interpretations of formal attire, while accessories cement Givenchy’s unmistakable role in popular culture. From crystal-studded chokers and statement hoop earrings to sleek pearl pendants and iconic necklaces, every detail is impactful and thought-through. The perfect Valentine’s Day gift from this range would be the beloved Voyou bag, which received a fresh update with sliding chain straps and chunky etched hardware buckles.

Punks-meet-geeks-meet-jocks at Ambush’s Spring/Summer 24 collection. In the world of creative director Yoon Ahn, these archetypes are meant to be played with. Challenging traditional archetypes, Ahn invites you to embrace your rebellious side with the brand’s signature heart-shaped padlock bag, a symbol of unbreakable loyalty and, as it happens, a perfect Valentine’s Day fashion gift. As with all aspects of life, Ambush’s ready-to-wear collection offers something for everyone. Bold track sets in blue and maroon cater to all genders, while khaki Harrington jackets can be paired with matching miniskirts or cargo trousers for a versatile look. And when layered over crisp shirts with white socks peeping out, they evoke a sense of nostalgia and youth, reminiscent of a summer school uniform – perfect for both the classroom and everyday adventures.

Jacquemus
The forever romantic, surreal and whimsical vision of Simon Porte Jacquemus is what dreams are made of. Our absolute favourite piece from his dreamy oeuvre for this Valentine’s Day is the new padded denim Le Bambinou – the silhouette that’s been on every it-girl’s arm for the past few seasons. The newest iteration feels even more fresh and relaxed, especially when styled with the brand’s Duelo slingbacks with geometric buckles. Available at Net a Porter.
