Chemena Kamali debuted a collection at Paris Fashion Week featuring frilly dresses, patchwork denim, and fringed jackets, evoking Chloe's bohemian roots from the 1970s.
Front-row attendees at the show predominantly wore wedge shoes, with Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger, and others sporting various styles in brown and black.
It is unclear whether the wedge designs showcased at the event are part of a seasonal collection or pulled from the brand's archives, and the designer also presented a pre-fall 2024 collection to select clients.

In one of the standout debuts for this season, Chemena Kamali returned Chloé to its bohemian roots for fall 2024.

The collection, unveiled today during Paris Fashion Week, featured frilly dresses, patchwork denim and fringed jackets. Paired with long hair styled in free, loose curls, the showing returned to the 1970s, when the late Karl Lagerfeld was the brand's creative director. (He is the only male designer to ever function as the brand's top designer in a history that stretches more than 70 years.)

While the shoes on the fall 2024 runway were varied — fringed pumps, stud-bedecked leather sandals, as well as a mule featuring a kitten heel — front-row attendees almost uniformly wore some style of wedge.

New York Times chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman tweeted a photo of Posey chatting with Suzy Bemba and Alice Isaaz all wearing various versions. Posey's style featured a strap and buckle at the ankle, while Bemba's were more of a mule variety. All were in various versions of brown and black.

On the runway, there was one clog option, paired with denim. That style was lined with rivets and featured the brand's logo on a gold plate inside the heel. Many view wedges as providing more support and comfort in lieu of other high-heeled styles like a stiletto.

It is unclear if these designs are set to be part of a seasonal collection or if they are house staples, pulled from the archives. Though fall 2024 was the public debut of Kamali's first collection, the designer also showed a pre-fall 2024 collection to select clients. That collection will be unveiled publicly following this week's debut.

Chloé does not stand alone with wedges this season though: during London Fashion Week earlier this month, Daniel Lee sent out models in boots at Burberry with built-in wedge heels.
