Spring 2024 Haute Couture: Tamara Ralph's feminine strength

“Time is to be treasured; it is the one thing we always want more of, but can never have quite enough of. My collection is designed to stand the test of time, whilst also serving as a reminder of how invaluable the notion of time truly is.” – Tamara Ralph

The Spring/Summer 2024 Couture collection unveiled by Tamara Ralph continued to offer exquisite craftsmanship with corsets embellished with crystal roses, chiffon gowns incorporating ostrich feathers and metallic crystal encrusted chains, woven tweed mixed with gold chains and xillion crystals. Draped crystal chains contour bodies, while a stunning rose corset was encrusted with silk and peridot crystals.

 “I am delighted to return to Paris for my sixteenth season of couture, and my second season under my namesake brand. Starting anew, and on my own terms, has been an incredible experience,” the designer said, adding “my second collection very much embodies my new vision - centered around the notion of bold femininity and uncompromising strength - whilst revealing new dimension and growth.” 

Through the use of metallic tones: gold, rose gold and handcrafted metal work, the collection incorporated a nod to a collaboration with Audemars Piguet on a limited-edition Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon “Tamara Ralph.” The watch features an 18-karat frosted pink gold case.
