Louis Vuittons Spring 2023 Paris Fashion Week collection featured dresses with necklines that resemble supersized airplane neck pillows, belts subverted and reappropriated onto jackets and the legs of pants, and little flippy leather dresses with massive chain shoulders. The excess of it all felt like a pause (or refresher) in the sometimes-stiff universe of Louis Vuitton. The collection was highly ornamental, and utilitarian details were zoomed into the smallest of functional details and supersized for maximum impact. The roots and craftsmanship of the typical Louis Vuitton collection were all there, seen through the lush patchwork leathers, cargo pockets done in immaculate form, mermaid-blue textured trousers, and tiger print coats. The collection was extra playful in a way that hadnt quite been seen from the brand before.
The Louis Vuitton Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear collection was softer and more down-to-earth than usual, but no less haute. The clothes revealed mind-boggling details, such as a camel coat that appeared to be wool but was actually leather, first embossed, then printed. The collection was inspired by the concept of French style, and the young designers in the studio were asked for their takes on the subject. The collection featured a blue, white, and red quilted GO 14 shoulder bag and leather gloves that reproduced the Tricolore, the Opéra Garnier, which inspired the light-up Phantom of the Opera masks, and the Cinq à Sept, which was alluded to with a series of sumptuous dressing gowns, pajama tops, and plush faux.
Stella McCartneys Winter 2023 runway show at Paris Fashion Week debuted new editions of the iconic Falabella and Frayme bags crafted from MIRUM, a plant-based, plastic-free, and 100% recyclable alternative to animal leather. The show embodied the ethos and modernity of the British brand, with the ready-to-wear collection crafted from 92% responsible materials. The collection was a celebration of the love between humans and animals, and McCartneys deep commitments to positive environmental impact and animal well-being were reaffirmed.
