It’s a wrap! Paris Fashion Week has officially closed this year’s last fashion month, serving all the best looks straight from the runway. From sculptural shoes to fairytale stories: these are the most striking fashion trends for spring/summer 2023, spotted in the city of love
Fashion trends spring summer 2023
While Milan was filled with sunshine, in Paris poured rain. It led to fashion spectacles of its own kind, and, most of all, the weather didn’t stop the fashion crowd from playing along in the street-style circus. More than ever, celebrities gathered (and here and there were paid) to attend shows and to be seen. Kylie Jenner was perhaps even a bigger surprise at Schiaparelli than Kanye West at Balenciaga – leading to the absence of Kim K. However, she had her very own moment of fame at Dolce & Gabbana. Celebrity endorsement is an age-old phenomenon, though. In 1768, the tableware brand Wedgwood used royals to endorse their products. Nowadays, the Kardashians and Jenners have gained a royal status of such. When inviting one of their clan, the buzz around a collection will be the talk of the town. Not all fashion houses share this thinking, though. At Valentino, Pierpaolo Picciolo chose only debuting models to walk his show, leading, as a consequence, to a bunch of girls unable to walk his heels. Was it Pierpaolo’s fault or the lack of experience of these girls? To get an answer, we have to wait until shoes hit the boutiques in 2023. One thing, at least, is sure: next season we will collectively embrace the return of the dangerous shoe, which is just one of the many (not so) new trends that emerged. Found out the most profound fashion trends for spring/summer 2023 below
Naomi Campbell, Erika Badu, Jaden Smith, Anna Wintour, Stromae, Maisie Williams, Doja Cat, Kate Moss, Carla Bruni, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Gigi, and Bella, Gwendoline Christie, Paris Hilton, Cher, Tyga, and many, many others… The list of celebrities both attending fashion week and playing protagonist roles in the shows is endless. Thom Browne took the cake when it came to celebrity-packed events. Gwendoline Christie opened Browne’s modern fairytale, adorned by a front row filled with many of the names stated above. Naomi Campbell was one of the most welcome guests both on and off the runway, and even Kate Moss appeared at Bottega Veneta in head-to-toe leather. Dolce & Gabbana is the absolute winner of the season when it comes to creating buzz around a collection; expectations were high when they shared Kim Kardashian’s love for the house that goes way back. To be honest, it didn’t disappoint – it was just very, very Dolce, with a vintage veil
