The campaign is truly reflective of Diesel’s consumers, showing confident and unreserved models across a variety of genders, races, ages and body types enjoying an indulgent stay in the tropical playscape. Creative Director Glenn Martens, Art Director Chris Simmons and photographer Johnny Dufort work together to create an environment that promotes the unapologetic individualism that Diesel has come to represent.

The campaign features a variety of looks from the SS23 collection including a couple of variations of the oval D cut-out design and every piece of denim that you could imagine. Diesel’s reinvigoration of denim has become almost synonymous with the brand and that remains true throughout this campaign; from denim corsets to layered jeans, Diesel continues to advocate for the re-imagination of denim. And of course, no Diesel campaign would be complete without the iconic belt skirt, which appears in Pleasure Island’s nightclub in a metallic silver shade.

Speaking of belts, the campaign also showcases a variety of accessories from the brand including their underwear collection inspired by sets popularised in the 90s. The tropical backdrop of Pleasure Island also allows us to see the Diesel Eyewear collection in action. This collection was a partnership with EssilorLuxottica and featured five new styles to play with. And while Pleasure Island may not be a real vacation spot for this summer, you can visit the land where “all desires, kinks and indulgences are welcome, whilst all judgmental attitudes are not” every time you dress in Diesel.

The post Diesel’s Spring Summer 2023 Campaign Takes us to Pleasure Island… appeared first on Voir Fashion.

The campaign was shot against Ferrari’s universally recognisable red background, a rich and vibrant backdrop for the contrasting olive greens and blacks that are prominent in the collection. However, the classic iconography goes not end there, as the camera moves as smoothly as a Ferrari would drive, we get a glimpse at the famous Prancing Horse that has come to represent the brand more than anything else. The deep red and Prancing Horse serve to prove that Enzo Ferrari’s dream has been achieved, the dream of permanence. These motifs are instantly recognisable as Ferrari’s, highlighting its everlasting cultural impact.

Not only has a dream been realised through the release of this campaign, but the dream that started this journey is at the core of the collection. From the nuts and bolts that have been embroidered over jackets to the workwear influences across the collection, the blurred boundaries between the luxury associated with the brand now and its mechanical origins work to highlight the various stages of Ferrari’s dream.

It is not only the lines between luxury and utility that have been blurred in this collection, the traditional notions of masculinity and femininity have also been played with. These binaries are not far removed from one another as the elegance of luxury exudes a traditionally feminine feel to the Menswear collection, whereas the utilitarian and workwear aspects of the Womenswear injects a feeling of masculinity to the looks. This blurring of traditional gender-distinctions comes to light most prominently in the Ferrari Suit where the iconic overalls have been converted into a dress, perfectly balancing the push and pull of masculinity and femininity.

The collection celebrates craft, something that is close to Ferrari’s heart. The intricate detail in the embroidery, precise darting, every cut and fold accentuates the pride that goes into the act of creating. The made-to-order garments place the process at its centre, with each item telling the story of its creation with every crease, curve or thread.

Ferrari, the epitome of timelessness. Their cars get more celebrated with age, their history learnt by fans new and old; and so, it makes sense that their clothing be timeless too.

The post Capturing a Dream of Dreamers: Ferrari’s Spring/Summer 2023 Campaign Is Here appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Simon Porte Jacquemus’s late debut of his SS 23 collection created panic before it even began. Teasing Instagram followers with a statement that read ‘Le Raphia’ would be his last collection, he quickly followed up with a cheeky “of the year”. Before the show even began, we knew it was going to be as fun as Jacquemus himself.

Yesterday, Le Bourget airport, Paris, was filled with models and show attendees as Jacquemus showed off his wonderful new collection. They say all good things come in threes, and this was definitely the case with ‘Le Raphia’. Shown in sets of three, we witnessed outfits in related trilogies walk down the runway.  The setting worked wonders for the natural aesthetic of the collection as models walked under falling straw, which fell as elegantly as light snow.

Taking a lot of his inspiration from the beauty of the natural world this collection gave us yet another glimpse into the mind of the fashion designer. Stating his greatest muse for fashion design was his mother, the collection taps into new influences as well as staying true to his number one inspiration. Previously designing for the “typical French girl”, he envisioned this collection worn around the Italian coast. For girls’ passionate about fashion and like the more-is-more aesthetic.

The Collection

The hype of his Summer in Winter show has everyone eager to start spending, and luckily the collection has started to drop today with a promise of a short wait for later items. Featuring denims, feathers and of course raphia, the collection was full of fresh summery designs. Suits, were of course featured, along with dresses containing cut-outs and strappy shoulders. Let’s take a look at some of the new features of the spectacular designs of yesterday and our key takeaways.

Raphia

_{^{Image Credit: Jacquemus}}

Starting with the huge use of raphia, which inspired the name of the collection. We see oversized cartwheel hats and fitted bucket hats, perfect for the collection’s location intention of coastal Italy.  Paired with huge sunflower earrings, they could not look better.

Ruffles

_{^{Image Credit: Jacquemus}}

Strong, constructed ruffles were a common sight at the show. Ruffles predicted as a SS 23 trend can be understood after watching the models walk down the sunlit runway of Jacquemus’s show.

Colours and Patterns

_{^{Image Credit: Jacquemus}}

Super on brand from Jacquemus we see his colours evolve through the seasons. Evolving from his last collection, ‘Le Papier’, we see more of the natural whites and creams pop up in his latest designs. His previous use of pink also makes an appearance within the collection as well as a large focus on beachy, pastel colours. The psychedelic, wavy prints inspired by the 1970’s are shown on sarongs and beach wear. WGSN x Coloro colour of the year 2023, Digital Lavendar, has also made a popping appearance within the clothing collection.

Feathers

_{^{Image Credit: Jacquemus}}

Wispy feathers were seen across multiple outfit trilogies. Used as trim, worn over well-tailored suits and going full out with coats and tops, we suspect this will be extremely popular in SS 23.

Bags

_{^{Image Credit: Jacquemus}}

Famous for his micro-mini bags, we did spot one of his signature bags being carried down the runway. However, most bags within the collection were much softer styles than his usual designs. Feathered bags and raphia bags were commonly carried down the walkway, which complimented the soft styles of the clothing worn. Going against his usual sizing, we see bigger is better for the upcoming season as large bags take precedence.

The post Everything You Need To Know About Jacquemus Reigning With Raphia appeared first on Voir Fashion.

With its last collection featuring a wide range of knits, vinyl trenches and tall turtlenecks perfect for winter, this new collection includes florals, lace and sequins that are simply a necessity for spring 2023. Without further ado, welcome to The Pleasure Garden SS23 collection…

_{Courtesy of Magda Butrym}

The collection includes a variety of different styles for different occasions. The most stereotypically Spring looks include intense floral patterns or floral detailing, as well as a very specific pink and lilac that’ll be a timeless element of any wardrobe. The black floral mini dress is perfect for any spring event you may have on the books, and the pink bodysuit and midi dress of the same tone are perfect for running errands in the city, simple but flattering, especially with the lilac rose heels.

_{Courtesy of Magda Butrym}

The collection also includes a lot of spring classics in white, with an emphasis on lace and ruching. Lace flared trousers, a lace midi dress with a daring slit, a ruched midi with flower detailing and a simple swinging sixties halterneck with floral detailing on the hips. All the designs are clearly extremely flattering to the body with decisive detailing and strategic ruching and cutouts.

_{Courtesy of Magda Butrym}

Finally, the collection includes some black tailored suit designs as well as a black evening gown with a hood and cut-out features that are absolutely perfect for any event. Tailored suits are one of the biggest trends of the season and this suit has the masculine effects of the broad blazer with the feminising effects of the flared trousers and floral lace-up top. The collection also includes a dazzling sequin ‘naked’ dress that’s extremely flattering both in shape and colour, as well as a sand-tone knit dress and a classic white silk midi dress.

LOEWE

A bouquet of flowers that blossomed centre-stage and pixilated ensembles from 90s video games animated LOEWE spring/summer 2023. As he has done in the past few seasons, Jonothan Anderson continued to explore surreal fashion. Anthuriums were Anderson’s flower of choice this season. Fashion models brought exaggerated hips to the runway sporting ice-cold dresses, while others had their upper halves transformed into wax moulded Anthurium petals.

Digitally pixelated hoodies, t-shirts, and trousers were combined with sculpted garments that took on the look of autumn layers.

Issey Miyake

A moment of remembrance preceded the first Issey Miyake show since the founder’s death in August. The show, titled “A Form That Breathes,” encompassed designs that enveloped around the models’ bodies, like scrupled paper, the garments remained elegant and subdued due to the simplistic silhouettes. Many of the garments consisted of pleating that resembled waves. Tones were mostly minimal, dominated by blacks, whites, and beiges. Nevertheless, the occasional fuchsia was a welcome change to the eyes. The evening culminated with a dance performance of a special piece dedicated to the late designer, dressed in softer colours.

Victoria Beckham

It was Victoria Beckham’s first time showing in Paris this season. During her ten-plus years as a fashion insider, her collection showcased all the knowledge and ambition she still holds. This season’s collection highlights the brand’s heritage with masculine tailored tailoring, sensual dresses, and body-conscious silhouettes. A variety of dualities are incorporated into it, such as softness and hardness, structure and fluidity.

^{Photo credits: Isidore Montag}

Coperni

An angelic collection including dresses embroidered with thousands of glass pieces that shimmered breathtakingly. As one of this year’s most memorable fashion shows, Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant delivered from beginning to end. 

The collection was named Coperni Femme, in honour of their first collection back in 2015: it was an ode to a reimagined femininity.  As far as technical fabrication is concerned, Meyer and Vaillant continued to lead the way, whether it was with holographic floral prints bonded onto neoprene dresses and jackets, or with slinky slip dresses featuring metallic ringlets that resemble a traditional phone cord when held together vertical panels of fabric.  

But the pièce de résistance for this season was the final look. 

A performance centred around runway star Bella Hadid closed the show. A team of specialists created a perfect minimalist Coperni slip dress directly onto Bella’s body while she appeared on stage in nothing but nude underwear.

The near-naked Hadid was sprayed with a white substance that looked like spray snow by a scientist Meyer had befriended named Dr Manel Torres and a colleague. She had a liquid sheen when it hit her skin, but after a few minutes, it became matte.   Following that, Hadid walked the runway in a dress that was liquid in a bottle just five minutes before. Enchantment brought to life by Coperni.

Hermès

In earthy browns, tans, and sunset hues, Hermès transported us through the desert. A dawn pink for the morning, to hold the coolness before it escaped. With sustainability in mind and adhering to the theme, it appeared that each of the pieces was cut from a hammock, a net or a mosquito screen. Some of the garments flowed, reminiscent of a flag fluttering. It is always impressive to see what Hermès’ ateliers can accomplish with leather. A black leather dress with a netting-like appearance hugged the model’s body adoring her to create a second skin.

Elie Saab

There was a freshness to the looks that came off the Elie Saab Spring-Summer 2023 runway and a relaxing sense of lightness that was different from what we have often seen from Elie Saab. While usually filled with heavier embellishments and sequins. This new collection of soft silhouettes feels like a breath of fresh air. Dresses with delicately detailed floral appliqués and flimsy chantilly lace illustrate the skill of this designer.

^{Photo credit: Filippo Fior}

Comme des Garçons

Black, white, minimal but impactful by all means.

In every piece, the level of fabric was intensive and heightened. The sheer sizes of each garment, abnormal proportions, surreal shapes, lacquered lace and sweet floral jacquards were abundant. This catwalk was magnificently bizarre as each model walked on each more alluring than the one before. Models appeared to be wrapped in haute blankets in the collection’s shrouded garments. Beautifully weird is the only way to describe this work of art.

It was a season of bulky trims, bulbous gowns, dramatic elongated sleeves, and floral patterns that were ground-breaking.

Balenciaga 

The Mud Show at Balenciaga Summer 2023 Digs for the Truth Behind Fashion’s Deception. 

Kanye West made his modelling debut. The rapper and fashion designer, who now goes by Ye, opened the apocalyptic-themed presentation in a military-style jacket with a security patch and black leather trousers, Ye walked a mud-lined runway in Parc des Expositions. The jacket’s hood was pulled up over a lidded cap, and models followed behind walking the ‘mud’ runway.

A variety of dresses were featured, from sporty neck-hanging pieces to lame, glitter bombs pleated and dragging through the mud. Glitter dazzled on chunky clog versions of the Space Shoe, while slews of new track-like sneakers and the Knife Boot returned.

Valentino 

Could minimalism be making a return this spring? If this year’s Paris fashion week has shown us anything, it’s that the minimal approach always makes a big impact. In its latest show, Valentino moves towards purity, focusing on only the essentials, as the brand enters a more minimal era. 

It is true that Valentino took a more minimalist approach to the construction of its garments- but definitely not to the use of prints. Almost everything was adorned with the house monogram, from coats with trains to dresses with feathers trimmed individually. The colour palette began softly, and each outfit included no more than two colours at a time. 

Valentino’s tailoring skills were impressive; car coats from nylon with deep V pleats at the back, boxy double-breasted blazers with crimped waistbands and hems, boiler suits with crimped waistbands and hems, a black tech jacket — all came together in one motion before a stunning purple dress stood out.

^{Photo credit: Filippo Fior}

Givenchy

Featuring elevated versions of everyday essentials- the Givenchy show was filled with understated pieces that beautifully frame a woman’s figure. Matthew M Williams delivered subtlety and grace. Accompanying classical music, down the runway were feminine stilettos with lace work, tiny bags were consistent, work pants and biker jackets and even cargo shorts all came alongside the elegance. The last set of looks were floor-length dresses, classic silhouettes with feathering detail accented by minimalistic cut-outs. As a result, the new collection consolidated much of what Matthew M Williams has been doing at Givenchy for many seasons, and as a result, he has finally established his own aesthetic.

Stella McCartney 

Known for her loud stance on animal rights within the fashion industry and for being an eco-activist. This season saw Stella McCartney’s most ‘nature-positive collection yet- with 87% of the fabrics worn on the runway at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, made with recyclable materials. 

Using silhouettes and features like asymmetric bias cuts, giant visor-style sunglasses, racer tank straps, crystal cut-out embroidery, and body chains, the collection also mined McCartney’s history and even her “late-90s time at Chloé.

The collection merged McCartney’s basic design with a playful sensuality, as the asymmetrical shapes and cuts offered a fun and formal collision to the clothes. With glimpses of body jewellery, chains and crystals hiding under jackets and T-shirt dresses. 

^{Photo credits: Filippo Fior / Paolo Lanzi / Salvatore Dragone} 

Chanel 

A sultry performance with a touch of old Hollywood glamour for spring/summer was presented by Chanel’s Virginie Viard. A collection inspired by Alain Resnais’ Last Year in Marienbad (1961) film. This season, Chanel brings sophisticated allure, modernity, and lightness with a collection that explores a woman’s freedom of movement and expression.

The garments were elevated, transitioning from tweed minidresses and loose-fitting suits to shimmery gold gowns and sweeping skirts. From the chicest suits to the iconic Chanel tailored cardigan jackets; the catwalk was lined with pieces displaying every design element and fragment associated with the house. 

The designer kept accessories minimal, using only a few handbags and sparingly using gold chains, but incorporated sparkle and feathers in other looks.

Viard has created an exceptionally beautiful collection. Light, nuanced and distinctly present.

Louis Vuitton 

All fun and games as Louis Vuitton delved into childhood memories for the house’s spring/summer collection, which also marked an end to Paris fashion week. The colourful and youthful collection had some sophisticated looks beyond the obvious gimmicks, with a playful, contemporary approach to regal dress. Designer Nicolas Ghesquière let his imagination run wild with the theme of upsizing. Models walked the runway with giant zippers accompanied by even bigger Monogram “hand”-bags and huge bow collars, clownish buttons, and unfurling leather sections that were reminiscent of “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”. 

Yet there is something deeper in the odd proportions and loud silhouettes featured in this collection. Ghesquière said he was using the scale as a tool to challenge female stereotypes. “Pretty tough, that was something we were talking about, and threatening beauty. The idea was to look at something pretty, something sweet, and to see in those elements what strength they have,” says the designer.

New York Fashion Week started in full swing on Friday 9th September kicking off with designers
Proenza Schouler, No Sesso, Collina Strada, Fendi and Tia Adeola showcasing their

you might have missed on day one from the city that never sleeps.

Proenza Schouler

Kicking off NYFW were Proenza Schouler designers, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez,
aka NYC’s fashion ‘It’ boys. The pair explored Latin flourishes – inspired by Hernandez’s roots,
fringing, crochet, sheer lace, bell bottoms and polka dots in a display of neutral tones.
Arca, a transgender musician from Venezuela, opened the show in a monochrome look
featuring a loose black tank, a white silk fringe and a bubble skirt.

No Sesso

Second on the schedule was No Sesso. Designers Pia Davis and Autumn Randolph created a
dark, utilitarian and provocative mood for spring, emphasising baring skin – opening the show
with a sheer black asymmetric dress, as well as cutout cycling shorts, G-string lines and tiny
bralettes from the collection that left little to the imagination.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Collina Strada

Collina Strada’s collection displayed designer Hillary Taymour’s signature playfulness and Y2K
influence alongside a strong theme of romanticism and nature. Florals, crochet, organza and
lace fabrics created dreamy gowns, wide-leg trousers and elegant eveningwear in bright hues.
In an ode to nature, the show fittingly took place at the Naval Cemetery Landscape, which
houses a monarch butterfly preserve.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Fendi

Designed by Marc Jacobs, Fendi’s Resort 2023 show was a fashion production like no other.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Italian label’s Baguette bag, the Hammerstein Ballroom
was transformed into a party with A-list guests adorned in Fendi on the front row including Kim
Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Watts and Kate Moss – whose daughter Lila Moss
opened the show.

The collection featured sharp tailoring, oversized fits, long lengths and a bright palette in an
explosion of fashion and colour.

Model icon and face of Fendi, Linda Evangelista, ended the show in a Tiffany blue opera cape
with a silver Baguette bag.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Tia Adeola

The final show of the day was Tia Adeola which was dedicated to the legacy of one of her
long-lasting inspirations, Manfred Thierry Mugler. In a fresh and neutral colour palette, the
collection was romantic, feminine yet daring with embellishments, curve-hugging bodycons,
distressing and cutouts.

The NYFW Diaries: Day Two

Day two of New York Fashion Week (Saturday 10th September) saw a jam-packed schedule of
designers’ Spring 2023 ready-to-wear collections including Dion Lee, Tibi, Private Policy and
Marni. We’ve got the ultimate rundown of the runways from day two in the big apple to keep you
in the style know-how.

Altuzarra

Starting off the day, Josephs Altuzarra’s collection was inspired by psychedelic experiences
through trips into nature. The show started with preppy classics including striped shirts, cable
knit sweaters, boxy blazers and mini skirts. It then progressed to more relaxed bohemian style
dresses with prints and tie-dye inspired by the 60s.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Elena Velez

Dark, provocative and mysterious was the mood of Elena Velez’s show. With references to
BDSM, bondage and sexuality, the neutral cool-toned collection featured latex, strapping,
corsetry and metal structures in the 30 focused looks.

^{Alessandro Viero / Gorunway.com}

Eckhaus Latta

Taking place in a scenic garden, Eckhaus Latta’s show evoked joy and peace following the
turmoil of the past few years. The collection featured a celebration of textures as well as
embellishments, metallic prints, netting and relaxed feminine silhouettes.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Jason Wu

Soft, subtle and elegant Jason Wu’s neutral collection was delicate with lingerie details, long
lengths, soft fabrics and lines which embodied feminity in a sense of relaxed glamour.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Victor Glemaud

Taking place in Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace, Victor Glemaud’s show was a spectacle with a
troop of skaters opening the show dressed in knitted shorts, joggers and ruffle-trimmed onesies.
The collection was inspired by American sportswear, featuring minimalist lines, sheer silk,
crochet, swimwear and monochrome looks in varying lengths.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Dion Lee

Taking place on an empty floor in a Hudson Yards building with a breathtaking view of the city’s
skyline, Dion Lee’s collection fused the perfect wardrobe for a day-to-night-to-day lifestyle with
cargos, knits and denim contrasting to the rave influences, mini skirts, leather separates and
slinky floor-length dresses. It was chic, sexy and inviting – just like New York.

^{Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com}

Tibi

Celebrating designer Amy Smilovic’s 25th anniversary, Tibi’s collection reflected Smilovic’s
sophisticated and clean personal style resembling 90s minimalism. Oversized tailored suits,
sheer fabrics and low waistlines headed the sensible collection perfect for office wear.

Prabal Gurung

Prabal Gurung’s show was a bold celebration of individuality, sexuality and a sense of
undoneness. The collection featured bright shades, sheer blouses, low waistlines and peeking
lingerie.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Sergio Hudson

Inspired by the funk, spirit and glamour of music icon Prince, Sergio Hudson’s seasonless
Collection 10 embraced bold colour blocking, loud leopard print, satin slip dresses, power suits
and big shoulder pads in a throwback to the 80s.

^{Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com}

Private Policy

Private Policy’s designer duo Siying Qu and Haoran Li were inspired by the modern-day
equivalents of the story of Noah’s Ark for their latest show. The collection reflected the pair’s
keen eye for clubwear with cutout tops, mini dresses, netting, bikinis as well as contrasting
utilitarian-style baggy denim and cargo pants embodying the ultimate Y2K aesthetic.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Marni

Marni’s much-awaited NYC debut was made by designer Francesco Risso. With a warm colour
palette inspired by the changing light throughout the day in the Italian countryside, the
minimalistic collection featured an abundance of textures, classically tailored jackets, flared
velvet jeans, knitwear, mini dresses, satin and leather gowns – a wardrobe fit for any occasion.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

The NYFW Diaries: Day Three

The third day of New York Fashion Week (Sunday 11th September) saw a host of must-see
Spring 2023 ready-to-wear shows from designers including Studio 189, Who Decides War, and
Tommy Hilfiger to name a few. Missed it? Don’t worry we’ve all the news from the runway right
here.

Ulla Johnson

Kicking off the day was Ulla Johnson’s show, taking place at the Brooklyn Museum’s Beaux-Arts
Court. The colourful collection focused on occasionwear with relaxed feminine silhouettes and
handicrafts such as crochet, embroidery and looming.

^{Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com}

Studio 189

After starting the show with a dedication to the designer’s late father, Studio 189 designers
Abrima Erwiah and Rosario Dawson presented their entirely print-based collection titled
Mélange. A mixture of techniques including hand batik, weaving, patchwork, indigo dyeing and
basket weaving was used to create African-inspired garments in a celebration of cultures,
individuality, bright colours, textures and prints.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Sandy Liang

It was definitely back-to-school season at Sandy Liang’s show. Models embodied an ultimate
preppy-chic aesthetic in a neutral cool-toned collection inspired by school uniforms and 90s
minimalism with chunky loafers, satin ballet pumps, tiny bra tops, low waistlines and corsetry in
a relaxed fit.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Khaite

Moody, dark and edgy was the impression from the Khaite show. Now one of New York’s ‘It’
brands, with a large celebrity and influencer cult following, designer Catherine Holstein had a lot
to live up to and she did not disappoint. The collection featured statement sharp-lined tailored

jackets, fringed body-skimming gowns, peasant skirts, bustiers and low waistlines with plenty of
python prints, sequins and silk fringing.

Puppets & Puppets

Puppets & Puppets’ artist-turned-designer Carly Mark has turned her project into a renowned
brand in an impressive four years. Known for her eccentric designs, Carly’s show was inspired
by the film ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ – particularly Nicole Kidman’s savvy independent character. The
collection featured intricate, elegant yet bold eveningwear that would have you standing out
from the crowd.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Alejandra Alonso Rojas

Alejandra Alonso Rojas’s show was hosted at Verōnika, the upscale restaurant at the
Fotografiska Museum on Park Avenue South. In collaboration with artist Philippine de
Richemont, the collection was elegant, romantic and uplifting with feminine silhouettes and
colour palettes, silky slip dresses, powerful prints, fringing and crochet.

Badgley Mischka

Romantic, feminine and elegant was the theme of the Badgley Mischka show. Designer duo
Mark Badgley and James Mischka drew inspiration from the colours of Moroccan cities for an
uplifting collection of eveningwear featuring dreamy gowns, sequin suits, voluminous ruffles,
delicate embroidery and feminine silhouettes.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Barragán

Edgy, rebellious, scandalous and sexy. Victor Barragán’s niche show was held in a reimagined
festival space surrounded by chaos – litter, bottles, graffiti and fake dollar bills. Featuring only
white models, the show was a nod to white culture and American capitalism with dollar bills,
briefcases, ties and shirts starring in the collection. The collection also had strong utilitarian
elements with leather, netting and tape as well as a rave culture theme with micro mini dresses
and low-slung waistlines.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Who Decides War

Bringing the chilled Caribbean vibes to New York, designer duo Everard Best and Téla D’Amore
were inspired by their roots for their latest collection, unofficially named ‘Underwater’ in a nod to
climate change. The predominantly menswear collection featured bold colours and casual
streetwear with an edge.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Tommy Hilfiger

In a bid to reimagine the label’s signature preppy style, Tommy Hilfiger’s latest collection
featured sophisticated sharp suits, tailored trousers and smart dresses in neutral shades perfect
for the office.

Luar

Cool, sharp and powerful – very New York, was the essence of the highly anticipated Luar show
held at the end of the day at The Shed. Designer Raúl Lopez was inspired for the collection by
his family gatherings as a child growing up in a Dominican family in Brooklyn. The line featured
both men’s and womenswear but held a strong masculine influence throughout with sharp lines,
enlarged shoulders, oversized fits, suits and crocodile skin full-length coats.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

The NYFW Diaries: Day Four

Monday 12th September hosted day four of New York Fashion Week with must-see Spring 2023
ready-to-wear shows such as Coach, Kim Shui and LaQuan Smith which provided a
much-needed abundance of colour to the greying city sky. Here’s everything you need to know
from across the globe.

Carolina Herrera

The day started joyously at The Plaza Hotel for Carolina Herrera’s show. Designer Wes Gordon
put on a cheerful display of voluminous frocks with beachy stripes and floral prints in sunshine
yellow and sky blue.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Parsons MFA

Parsons School of Design delivered a spectacle of a whooping 102 abstract looks made by
talented students which certainly made a show to remember. It was mad, chaotic yet
undoubtedly beautiful in a celebration which pushed the limits of fashion. Although maybe not
exactly wearable, the collection included extreme distressing and exaggerated proportions as
well as a multitude of techniques, textures and colours. A* marks!

Adam Lippes

Inspired by his Egyptian travels, Adam Lippes’ collection featured an array of relaxed
silhouettes, ruffles, pleats, volume and intricate prints in soft tones.

creating an atmosphere of pure bliss.

Bach Mai

Bach Mai drew inspiration from the trapeze line Yves Saint Laurent introduced at Christian Dior
in 1958, with the collection focusing on creating shape. It consisted of voluminous, pleated,
lengthy skirts in a selection of smart tweeds, foiled metallic materials and sheer floaty fabrics.

collection of feminine sundresses adorned with flamboyant ruffles and puff sleeves in a selection
of bright colours and ditsy prints.

^{Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com}

Bevza

Bevza’s show held an important message, inspired by designer Svitlana Bevza’s experience as
one of the over 10 million Ukrainians who fled their homes when Russia invaded the country
over six months ago. Starting with a moment of silence for Ukrainian lives lost during the war,

the show presented a muted collection produced by an entirely Ukrainian team featuring
utilitarian leather garments, breast-plated gowns and distressing which was also inspired by one
of the biggest issues affecting Ukraine right now: the wheat crisis.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Maisie Wilen

Maisie Wilen brought a sense of the eccentric with a collection featuring psychedelic geometric
prints, provocative catsuits and Y2K micro skirts and baby tees.

selection of leather, chiffon and mesh fabrics.

Jonathan Simkhai

dresses for a night out in the big city.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Tory Burch

Sleek and streamlined, Tory Burch’s collection was inspired by 90s wardrobes with low-slung
waistlines, masculine silhouettes, mesh tops with lingerie peaking through, relaxed tailored
jackets and trousers for the ultimate cool city-girl aesthetic.

^{Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com}

Christian Cowan

London, was a carnival of bright bold colours, loud prints and exaggerated proportions for a wild
and provocative collection of partywear.

The NYFW Diaries: Day Six

The sixth and final day of New York Fashion Week (Wednesday 14th September) finished the
event in style with must-see Spring 2023 ready-to-wear collections from Michael Kors, Tom
Ford, Batsheva, Aliétte and many more.

Missed it? Don’t worry we’ve covered every day of Fashion Week to keep you up-to-date in the
fashion game.

Batsheva

At Ben’s Kosher Deli, Batsheva Hay started off the day switching it up, moving away from her
usual “Laura Ashley” “frumpy garments” (she told Vogue) towards a sexy 70s-inspired collection
featuring more skin, PVC dresses, low-slung midi skirts, micro minis and crop tops yet there still
remained a strong array of girly ditsy prints.

^{Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com}

Michael Kors

Sophisticated, sexy, sleek and streamlined was the vibe of Michael Kors’ day-to-night collection
inspired by American 70s fashion icons. The show featured low-slung waistlines, daringly high
slit skirts, cool wide-leg tailored trousers and dazzling floor-length gowns – a wardrobe perfect
for the bustling bright-light city.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Deveaux

Making a return to the runway after three years, Deveaux’s designer Andrea Tsao took
inspiration from workwear for a collection featuring oversized masculine silhouettes, tailored
shirts and trousers, cool mesh fabrics and trendy cargos fit for the office.

^{Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com}

Kenneth Nicholson

Unlike his usual romantic themes, Kenneth Nicholson also found inspiration in corporate office
life, with his show taking place in an office building in the Financial District as the sounds of
clanging keyboard keys and printers welcomed the guests. The collection was a journey through
a typical working day – beginning with sleepy pyjama-clad models, followed by sharp tailored
suits, newspaper-print garments and slinky ravewear.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Aliétte

Aliétte designer Jason Rembert brought the fairytale to New York in his show presented at the
charming vintage Georgia Room in Manhattan with the gentle sounds of birds chirping over
whimsical versions of R&B and rap tracks including Khia’s 2001 hit ‘My Neck, My Back’. Nature
played a large influence with grassy textures, slinky satin dresses and voluminous gowns fit for
a princess.

^{Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com}

Wiederhoeft

Jackson Wiederhoeft certainly didn’t hold back with his punk-inspired, eccentric, rebellious
designs featuring a range of extravagant garments with bright colours, prints, exaggerated
proportions, provocative mesh materials and a distinct dramatic flare.

^{Daniele Oberrauch / Gorunway.com}

Theophilio

Theophilio’s designer Edvin Thompson brought a sense of nostalgia with a sexy yet comfortable
take on the Y2K style of his youth. The collection featured trendy baby tees, low-slung waistline

trousers and sequined mini dresses in an array of mesh, metallic, high-vis and leather materials
fit for a throwback club night.

Markarian

A state of serenity transcended on Markarian’s runway, presenting designer Alexandra O’Neill’s
collection of romantic feminine dresses with sweetheart necklines, off-the-shoulder fits, flowing
hemlines and soft shades.

exaggerated proportions, oversized fits, sharp suits, lengthy skirts, Peter Pan collars and casual
jerseys.

celebs, including Madonna, Chris Rock and Ciara, witnessed the dazzling display of his
signature sexy style. The collection featured sultry black lace lingerie, hardcore leather jackets,
sharp suits and blinding sequins gowns made for the bright-light big city.

The post The Best Street Style From Copenhagen Fashion Week appeared first on Voir Fashion.

The rumors of the show’s location were in everyone mouth’s for a while. A few hints on Instagram have raised the anticipation in addition to the countdown posts of the event.

The event hosted special guests such as Marc Jacobs, Kanye West, Megan Thee Stallion, Pharell Williams, Offset, and Frank Ocean. Balenciaga’s show happened on the actual trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange with the ringing of the opening bell. Demna Gvasalia brought to the runway alien-like models with full-face latex coverings, oversized tracksuits, and exaggerated silhouettes in the middle of a futurist Wall Street. The show was the perfect occasion to display the new collaboration with Adidas which is now available on Balenciaga.com ranging pieces from socks and accessories to Leather jackets.

“I always wanted to use three stripes and the logo, to be very honest with you. As a seven-year-old kid, I had an Adidas tracksuit, and that was my biggest fashion moment when I was a child”

Demna Gvasalia on Balenciaga X Adidas

This show was definitely a milestone event for the brand as it was Balenciaga’s first American show in 20 years, the last time Balenciaga showed in New York was in February 2003. An event that perfectly translates the boldness of the Georgian stylist, “New York, New York” was performed by Carey Mulligan in “Shame” movie and the show ended with New York Stock Exchange screens flickering.

Inside the temple of consumerism, Balenciaga has a clear message: money makes the world go round.

The brand also recently announced that they will begin to accept cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum online and at select stores. Hurry, it is only available until May 29^th!
