Sumptuous materials, unexpected textures, the feel of clothing on the skin: the Resort 2024 season, which heralds the arrival of a new year in fashion, is all about the pleasure of touch.
As seen in the January Next Generation Issue of Wallpaper*, Paris-based photographer Matthieu Delbreuve unites with Wallpaper* fashion and style director Jason Hughes to capture the material pleasures of the season.

Dress, £1,690; tights, £390, both by Burberry ‘Maralunga’ armchair, price on request, by Vico Magistretti, for Cassina, from Monument Store. ‘Soft Dreams Lux’ rug in Light Grey, price on request, by Ege Carpets
Like the coated knitwear of Pieter Mulier at Alaïa – a potently desirable mix of the slick and soft – or an extraordinary sequinned dress from Maison Margiela, whereby each pailette is actually made from rubber, a trick for both hand and eye.
Elsewhere, an opulent melange of textures: shimmering monogram chainmail from Gucci (originally shown in an extravagant show in Seoul), soft knitted herringbone by Daniel Lee at Burberry, or billowing faux furs from Givenchy, Victoria Beckham and Jil Sander by Lucie and Luke Meier.
And, backdropping it all, the textures of home: swathes of high-pile rugs and carpets, leather chairs, or the distinct texture of Mario Bellini’s 1972-designed ‘Le Bambole’ armchair for B&B Italia.
