As the crisp air of autumn approaches, the fashion world turns its attention to the latest trends that will define the season. One collection that’s capturing the spotlight is the Giovanna Fletcher x Deichmann Edit for Autumn-Winter 2024. Europe’s largest footwear retailer, Deichmann, has teamed up once again with Giovanna Fletcher — renowned author, podcaster, and presenter — to create a stylish, versatile, and affordable footwear range that caters to the everyday woman’s needs.
Launching on 7th October, the collection is designed with busy women in mind, offering a range of styles that transition seamlessly from the school run to a night out. The range features a variety of looks, from sporty runners to cosy shearling-trimmed boots, and edgy biker boots to chic knee-highs — all priced between £19.99 and £69.99. But the collection isn’t just about affordability; it’s about offering women the comfort and versatility they need in their daily lives.
A Fusion of Functionality and Style
Giovanna Fletcher has curated a capsule collection that marries functionality with style. She understands the demands of a modern woman’s lifestyle and wanted her collection to reflect that. From glamorous knee-high boots perfect for a winter evening, to chunky heeled ankle boots ideal for all-day wear, the range ticks every box.
In her words, “As a busy working mum juggling lots of different roles, I’m always looking for footwear that not only looks great but feels great. Comfort, practicality, and style were so important to me when compiling this Edit, and I hope there’s something within the collection to suit every taste.”
Key pieces in the range include:
- Sporty Runners: A comfortable and versatile choice, ideal for busy mums on the go. Pair them with casual outfits for a relaxed, yet stylish, daytime look.
- Shearling-Trimmed Boots: The ultimate in cosy winter footwear, these boots offer warmth and style, perfect for casual weekend wear.
- Biker Boots: Grungy yet glam, these boots are a must-have this season. Whether dressed down for a daytime stroll or dressed up for a night out, the biker boot is as versatile as it is stylish.
- Heeled Boots: Chunky ankle boots and knee-highs with buckle details add a tougher edge to autumn wardrobes, giving women a statement look without sacrificing comfort.
Fashion History Parallels
While Giovanna Fletcher’s collection is firmly rooted in 2024 trends, it also pays homage to some iconic styles from fashion history. The biker boot, for instance, has a storied past. Emerging in the mid-20th century as a symbol of rebellion and rock ‘n’ roll culture, the biker boot was synonymous with figures like Marlon Brando in The Wild One (1953). Today, it remains a statement piece that has evolved beyond its rebellious roots, becoming a key part of everyday fashion.
Similarly, the shearling-trimmed boots nod to the 1970s bohemian era, when natural materials and earthy tones were in vogue. The shearling boot became a staple of the “hippie” look, blending comfort with a laid-back style that has seen a resurgence in recent years.
Country-Chic Meets City Style
One of the standout trends for AW24 is the fusion of country-house elegance with urban practicality. Tweed coats, herringbone fabrics, and chunky knitwear—reminiscent of the aristocratic chic of Brideshead Revisited or the Mitford sisters—are making a comeback. The appeal lies in the juxtaposition of heritage fabrics with modern-day styling.
Deichmann’s collection captures this balance perfectly, especially with the tweed and shearling pieces. Imagine a sturdy ankle-skimming tweed coat, paired with Giovanna’s buckle-detail biker boots—an ideal look for city dwellers who want a touch of the countryside in their wardrobe. Accessories such as fringe country-style handbags further solidify this trend.
For those wanting a more traditional look, Argyle jumpers are having a moment, too. This nod to the classic 20th-century style can be dressed up with a kilt skirt and buckled ballet flats, evoking the elegance of Dior’s iconic 1950s designs, or worn more casually for a weekend getaway.
