The 2024 Fall Winter Collection by Barbara Bui emphasizes classic designs with a rock-inspired twist, capturing a sense of rebellious sophistication, while articulating a clear vision for contemporary style. The collection’s dedication to “getting back to basics” doesn’t imply simplicity; rather, it suggests a return to core values of design – line, cut and contrast.
The cinematographic and rockabilly influences bring forth silhouettes that are both sharp and sleek, designed with precision and directness. These elements are matched with a color palette that leans heavily on black, providing a dramatic backdrop for the smokey-eyed models that bring these clothes to life.

Central to the collection are the timeless pieces like jackets, perfectos, tuxedos, sheepskin coats, and leather pants, each piece crafted from materials like luxurious leather and sophisticated velvet. The return of slim-fit pants and pencil skirts, particularly the flagship leather pencil skirt, alongside the introduction of platform walking boots, is a nod to the nineties while proposing a new vision for contemporary femininity. The interplay of delicate and strong elements is a recurring theme, further explored through the juxtaposition of materials like leather and pleated silk, velvet jackets, and backless tuxedo dresses.
The introduction of wintery designs featuring cashmere, oversized trench overcoats, and flannel suits brings a sense of warmth and comfort, anchored by a distinctly British flair. This is complemented by a color range that celebrates winter hues, from red camel to dove gray and khaki. Bui’s “Costumes” line, with its vibrant reds and impertinent ivory tennis stripes blends traditional elements with a sense of irreverence. The pop influences are seen in the House’s velvet suits and the use of vivid colors, along with the python prints.
