The spring summer 2024 collection parades under the colonnade of the British Museum in London. Ornamental embroidery and artfully crafted prints, crystals, applications and sparkling sequins, while the structure of the garments encourages movement together with some hints of tulle on the the final. It is Erdem's show, this time celebrating Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire, the youngest and last survivor of the six Mitford sisters, whose political faith and marriages were a prominent feature of English culture in the 1930s and 1940s of the twentieth century.

A female figure who is celebrated in the round thanks to the aesthetic references borrowed, such as her collection of jewel brooches in the shape of butterflies and dragonflies, her passion for chickens which in the collection are transformed into embroidery and prints and even the his interest in Elvis Presley.

From the iconographic research of Erdem Moralioglu emerge the portraits of the Duchess of Devonshire taken by Cecil Beaton, the serigraphs of roosters by Albertus Verhoesen and her regal portrait created by the painter Pietro Annigoni. Everything is converted into a spring summer 2024 collection with fringed jacquard coats, dresses with overprinted prints, light devoré dresses, tailored outerwear and fringed tweed suits and very long gloves that complete the look.

Erdem reiterates his passion for historical female figures by exploiting aesthetic references with prudence and awareness. A clever use of the past to celebrate femininity with less obvious interpretations.
