This season, POEM’s Autumn-Winter 2024 collection weaves a spellbinding narrative inspired by the timeless myth of the Sirens and the Sailor. Creative Director Mr. Sean Chavanon Caisiri translates the tale into a sartorial symphony, where captivating beauty meets unwavering strength reflecting a metaphor for the modern women. POEM’s AW24 doesn’t only offer a new take on the house’s unique repertoires, but also hinting a glimpse to the upcoming fashion show.
The core concept of this collection revolves around reinterpreting the coordinated garments inspired by jigsaw dresses, which has been considered as a cornerstone of POEM’s design philosophy. This season, the focus shifts to pushing the boundaries of its potential. By offering a foundation for self-expression and freedom for outfit combinations, POEM empowers women to tailor their look to their desires. The exploration results in two distinct yet complementary styles, each capturing a different facet of the captivating narrative
The first style embodies a captivating duality. It features a layering of two contrasting fabrics. The inner layer utilizes flexible and light-weighted materials such as power mesh, providing a foundation of comfort and structure. This is then veiled by the flowing and delicate fabrics like jersey, made practical through the signature draping technique by Mr. Tay Borvornpat Plyngam, the house’s assistant designer. The effect is a mesmerizing play on transparency, drawing inspiration from the flowing robes of Greco-Roman goddesses and the draping creations of Madame Grès in the 1940s. This juxtaposition – the strength of the inner layer and the ethereal beauty of the outer layer – reflects the modern woman’s multifaceted nature. It’s a fusion of classic elegance and contemporary sportswear, a gift tailored for the confident woman of 2024 and beyond.
The second style celebrates POEM’s signature two-piece ensembles. This collection offers a selection of tops and bottoms designed for effortless mix-and-matching. Some of the highlighted pieces are bustier-inspired lace tops and crop tops that come with flowing half-dresses as a set. Each piece is crafted to seamlessly blend with others, allowing for multiple personalized looks, as they can be swapped freely with other pieces to create an endless possibility of styling. The creations also boast a captivating ombré effect, where colors subtly transition between top and bottom pieces, further adding a touch of elegance and visual intrigue. The concept central to this second style is truly a product of creativity, crystallized from almost two decades of the house’s expertise.
POEM’s Autumn-Winter 2024 collection strives to perfectly blend the unique narrative with the creations. Through innovative reimagining and a focus on personalization, POEM offers a wardrobe that resonates with the multifaceted nature of the modern woman. It empowers women to embrace their inner Siren,
captivating all with their strength and alluring grace, leaving a lasting impression with every step.
