Tamara Ralph Unveils Her New SS24 Collection In Paris, A Second Feat For The London-Based Designer
She also revealed a collaboration with Audemars Piguet, creating a Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon
Tamara Ralph is establishing herself in the Couture market, creating her own signature style, which is full of Surrealism tones mixed with whispers of romanticism. There’s something Schiaparelli-esque about her design fingerprint, yet she is her own designer. For her, this spring-summer 2024 collection is a note to us of her “inspired new journey,” under her own name, and how her brand is rooted in time and transcendence.
“I am delighted to return to Paris for my sixteenth season of couture, and my second season under my namesake brand. Starting anew, and on my own terms, has been an incredible experience, and I continue to feel both honoured and joyous that I am able to do what I love most and share my passion with the world,” states Tamara in collection notes.

The opening look, a Parisian chic woven tweed tailleur number is imbued in metallic tones, embellished with gold chains and xillion crystals, and accessorized with a gold metal cage hat and gold metal belt. A stunning feat, it’s loose tweed fringes at the shin, give shape and at the same time form. This collection she states, exudes “bold femininity and uncompromising strength.”
Golds, yellows, and creams with black thrown in are the color palette of the collection. Not to fret, there is color, like the green tea pleated taffeta gown, the draped pink chiffon gown with flamboyant sleeves comprised of ostrich feathers, and that red number- look twenty-seven- that voluminous silk taffeta gown with rose bust detailing with a pink silk taffeta coat. Looks either hug a woman’s curves or they drape off with in an A-line way with volume and elegance.
