Julien Dossena’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection for Rabanne injects a dose of “real on steroids” into fashion, bringing the label’s signature chain mail to the streets with a contemporary, casual-cool twist. Inspired by the brand’s successful H&M collaboration and the desire for genuine, wearable clothes, Dossena offers individual pieces that empower women to build their own unique style.
The collection features an array of comfortable and versatile separates, including chain mail shirts reminiscent of favorite flannels, patchwork leather tops, statement plaid pants, and cozy blanket cardigans. Playful touches like leopard faux fur sets and quirky crystal-embroidered tights add a touch of personality, while oversized silhouettes and relaxed fits prioritize comfort and ease.

Dossena introduces a new level of laid-back luxury with smocked maxiskirts and dresses crafted from deadstock prints, offering a touch of bohemian charm. Tailoring gets a playful update with a deconstructed gravel-colored pantsuit, while layered leather blazers and clashing prints create a dynamic and individualistic look.
The collection’s outerwear is equally impressive, featuring a classic black leather houndstooth car coat and new iterations of the popular Paco Rabanne disc bag, channeling a 70s vibe. The glamorous edge of past seasons takes a subtle backseat, with crystals used sparingly on cardigans and skirts, and delicate necklaces reminiscent of vintage finds.
Dossena’s vision is clear: “It’s not polished, not bourgeois,” he says. “It’s about being confident by being yourself and being kind.” This collection embodies that sentiment, offering a refreshing take on everyday dressing that is both stylish and relatable.
