There’s a certain irony, isn’t there, in a fashion brand named after a pop culture figure known for her impeccable style, striving to be recognized for something more than just clothes? Yet, here we are, at the precipice of Gomez, Inc.’s Spring/Summer 2024 show, and the air crackles with that very ambition.
Gone are the days when a celebrity name slapped onto a label guaranteed success. Today’s consumer, savvy and discerning, demands substance. A point of view. A reason to believe.
And Gomez, Inc., it seems, has been listening. This season, they’ve traded the expected red carpet glitz for something altogether more intriguing. Subdued, even. A palette of desert hues—sand, sage, clay—whispers across languid silhouettes. The fabrics themselves tell a story: raw silk, organic cotton, linen woven with an almost monastic simplicity.
Backstage, the usual pre-show frenzy feels different, too. Calmer. More deliberate. Models drift by, faces scrubbed clean, hair pulled back in loose braids. It reminds me of a shoot I once saw in Morocco—that same sense of unstudied beauty, of clothes becoming almost secondary to the spirit they embody.
The collection unfolds like a slow, steady exhale. A long linen tunic, its edges left raw, floats over wide-leg trousers. A simple cotton dress, cinched at the waist with a leather cord, evokes a quiet confidence. There’s a timelessness to these pieces, a sense that they could be worn for years, even decades, to come.
This isn’t to say there’s no artistry here. Far from it. The tailoring, while relaxed, is impeccable. A hand-stitched detail on a jacket sleeve, the subtle drape of a skirt—these are the hallmarks of true craftsmanship, quietly demanding to be noticed.
And then there are the accessories. Large, woven totes that look like they could carry everything you need for a weekend escape. Leather sandals, sturdy yet elegant, begging to be walked on cobblestone streets. A single, hammered silver cuff, its simplicity speaking volumes.
It’s a collection that whispers rather than shouts. That speaks to a desire for authenticity, for connection, for something real in a world saturated with artifice. And in that quiet confidence, in that refusal to play by the usual rules, Gomez, Inc. might just have found its voice.
It’s a voice that resonates deeply with the current mood. A yearning for simplicity, for meaning, for clothes that are more than just clothes—they’re an extension of ourselves, of our values, of the stories we want to tell.
As I leave the show, stepping out into the bustling city streets, I can’t help but feel a sense of hope. Hope that maybe, just maybe, fashion is starting to remember what truly matters. And that even in the midst of the chaos, there’s still room for beauty, for quietude, for a little bit of soul.
