Ujoh Fall/Winter '24 Paris Fashionweek






On one of the final days of Paris Fashion Week, Ujoh unveiled its Fall/Winter ''24 collection at the Palais de Tokyo. The collection draws inspiration from Bruce Weber’s iconic Men & Women series, celebrating the pure joy of being enveloped in fabrics. Ujoh reimagines the vintage charm of Weber’s 1980's photography by infusing it into a refined and contemporary vision of luxury fashion. This theme of flowing fabrics and opulence serves as the foundation for Ujoh’s collection, redefining garments with a modern tailored style. 
The designs feature square-shaped drapes and fringes extending from collars and hems, alongside sharp tailoring in doeskin, a fabric traditionally used for formal wear. Functional pieces in glossy nylon taffeta add contrast, floating lightly against the richness of matte-textured wool. The collection balances fluid, generous volumes with structured tailoring. Layering is a key element, incorporating bottoms paired with dresses, scarves that blend into sleeves, and reversible skirts worn like tabliers. This free-spirited approach creates a luxurious, contemporary nomadic style defined by versatility and ease. The color palette is equally refined, blending soft shades like moss gray, ebony, steel gray, and greige with warmer hues such as topaz, dusty purple, and mulberry. 
We especially appreciated the warm yellow pieces, which provided a striking contrast to the softer, air-toned color palette. The layering and styling stood out, crafted with exceptional care and a deep appreciation for the fabrics, enhancing the clothes designs. A special highlight goes to the men's and women's bomber jackets and long hooded coats (first gif and first line; right pictures), featuring parachute details on the front and back, adding a distinctly trendy of-the-moment edge to the collection. The collection redefined luxury through a modern take on tailored style, with Ujoh effortlessly combining timeless sophistication and cutting-edge design to create well-crafted garments.
