– the most recent fashion month was a fitting tribute to the displays for which the industry is revered. This was a fashion month that was awash with real clothes – for the most part anyway, this is fashion after all – that were designed for real people and real lives with just a squeeze of lime and a hint of cheek.
Across the board, there were diktats from the denizens of the fashion world to re-engage with nature: in; in New York, Maryam Nassir Zadeh started her press release with the word ‘waves’ – a nod to more than just the azure tides lapping the shore; and in London, Riccardo Tisci drew inspiration from the British beach for what transpired to be his final collection for Burberry.
Perhaps in a bid to elicit a little more compassion from all of us, designers used their spring/summer 2023 collections to encourage a collective wearing of our hearts on our sleeves – sometimes quite literally. At Acne Studios, hearts were stitched into the fabric of blood-red dresses; for London’s buzziest style star, Nensi Dojaka, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them hearts were sewn onto the necklines of dresses; in Milan, for Sportmax, hearts adorned long-sleeved, ab-flashing crop-tops.
In the way that 2022 has been the unequivocal year of the butterfly , next year is shaping to be the year of the heart – that thing that keeps us all ticking over. When in doubt, wear yours on your sleeve.Excited for the live-action reboot of The Little Mermaid? So were designers, as shown in their spring/summer 2023 collections.
