With her Pre-Fall 2024 collection, Rachel Comey makes a bold move ahead. She embraces the sweltering heat with a lineup that radiates sensuality while retaining the quirky quality that has defined her work for more than 20 years. 

Comey's collection pushes the boundaries further, including body-baring shapes and portholes while keeping a clear focus on the female gaze—a departure from the standard in a place like New York where wearing nothing but your knickers has become the norm.

Looking ahead to 2024, Rachel Comey cleverly adds portholes to a range of items, turning smocked cotton skirts and ribbed knit sweaters into seductive looks. The collection, which includes crocheted camis and knickers with built-in belts, showcases Comey's skill at making clothing that is both whimsical and provocative. 

The whole collection exudes Comey's trademark eccentricity, with notable items including the 'kitchen sink' skirt that is embellished with paillettes and holographic sequins. The wavy knit jacquard pieces, which have drawstrings letting wearers customise how much of their legs or belly is shown, continue this quirky trend. In a sea of trends, the collection is intriguing due to the juxtaposition of sensuality and strangeness.

Redefining "event dressing" with her own style, Rachel Comey eschews jumpsuits and traditional cocktail dresses. An off-the-shoulder top and trousers combo made of a highly textured 'foam' fabric are the collection's standout pieces.
