As we anticipate the spring/summer 2023 collections, fashion shows will resume in New York, London, Milan, and Paris.
Apart from in London, where the month of shows coincides with the official time of national mourning following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we're set for a very regular month of shows after the previous two years of pandemic-related disruptions and cancellations.
A number of events have had to be rescheduled because of closures in the capital, particularly on the day of the funeral itself, even if shows by designers including Harris Reed, Erdem, and Christopher Kane appear to still go on.
As well as the newest collections from Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, and Tom Ford in New York, we can look forward to the new season shows from Versace, Prada, and Giorgio Armani in Milan, as well as Dior, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton in Paris.
Fendi is also celebrating the 25th anniversary of the iconic Baguette in New York. Highlights of the top 5 Fashion brands from the spring/summer 2023 collections' catwalks are seen below:
Fendi
This season, Fendi celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Baguette with a show that kicked off New York Fashion Week.
For the occasion, creative director Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi enlisted the help of a stellar group of collaborators, including Marc Jacobs, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Tiffany & Co.
Tory Burch
Tory Burch described her Nineties-inspired collection, which put material and silhouette in the foreground, as being defined by two competing instincts: to experiment freely and to pare things back.
Fashion models, including Emily Ratajkowski, strutted down the catwalk in opulent materials created for the body's "discovery of form."
Carolina Herrera
Wes Gordon's most recent collection was inspired by the romantic portrayal of nature and beauty in Frances Hodgson's cherished classic, The Secret Garden, which he admired as a child.
From 3D rosettes and vividly colorful designs to sculptural hemlines that "take on lives of their own in movement, like undulating rows of flowers in bloom in profusion," florals played a major role in every look.
Tommy Hilfiger
The Tommy Factory multidimensional experience, which featured a star-studded runway (Ashley Graham, Lila Moss, Winnie Harlow, Julia Fox) and front row, marked Tommy Hilfiger's return to New York Fashion Week this season.
The actual collection included everything from the new TH monogram, which was developed in collaboration with an illustrator and graphic designer, to "remixed old Americana norms with a contemporary, streetwear-inspired twist."
Jason Wu
The thrill of dressing up and the post-pandemic revival of America's fashion capital, New York City, were both honored in Jason Wu's most recent collection. The designer has lived in New York City for 22 years.
Inside-out construction, a major element present throughout the collection, was used to accentuate the beauty of each garment's interior with respect to the great American designers.
