Hermes presented a collection for hot days in Paris, and in this collection, Nadege Vanhee-Cybulski showcased products designed to withstand extreme heat, featuring well-ventilated volume and lightweight materials. In particular, Nadege mentioned that "Men have beautiful legs too" and proposed shorts for men.

Valentino also showcased various styles of short pants, offering new options and a more relaxed approach to traditional men's fashion. They emphasized the idea that "Power and success have defined the concept of masculinity so far, but true strength lies in the freedom to show one's vulnerability and sensitivity." This perspective guided their collection, focusing on the relaxation of classical men's fashion conventions.


Inspired by workers who physically engage in their jobs, various workwear options have been introduced. Thanks to the boundary-less perspective of the younger generation towards their careers, workwear and office attire now consider a wide range of work modes, from part-time jobs to physical labor. This represents a clear departure from the past when work attire was primarily centered around business suits for men working in office environments. The designs provide a bold and exciting departure from the conventional and monotonous workwear styles, with practical storage solutions, comfortable and ergonomic designs, and daring yet tasteful proportions and color combinations.

Junya Watanabe proposed jumpsuits and uniform jumpsuits that incorporate elements like neon bands from workwear directly into the design. Fendi's collection was inspired by the craftsmanship of artisans, featuring work aprons and tool belts equipped with traditional leather tool sets to complete the workwear look. They also added detailing by printing illustrations of tools and various house bags to represent elements of the work process. Sylvia, during the finale, appeared alongside Fendi's artisans, bringing the show to a close.

There is a renewed emphasis on reinterpreting and modernizing the brand's traditions. In the 24 S/S collection, Dior utilizes a contemporary approach by having models appear on a stage with an open floor. However, on the stage, it is filled with elements that Dior has pursued for a long time. They blend traditional craftsmanship from the couture house with decorations and focus on updating heritage by applying large-scale jacquard patterns to knits, emphasizing the brand's elegant values. 

Louis Vuitton presented a more daring and innovative approach to heritage implementation. The iconic Damier pattern that has been associated with Louis Vuitton for a long time was dramatically resized and transformed with different patterns or embellishments like beads to showcase infinite possibilities. They applied vibrant and intriguing colors to change the ambiance and used a variety of materials to add a sense of fun. They also introduced the Damo Fleurs pattern, a transformation of the Damier pattern like camouflage, with additional modifications such as punching.
