We’ve rounded up the best Fall-Winter 2023 collection from NYFW.
The global fashion community has gathered in New York to celebrate another Fashion Week season. The highly anticipated New York Fashion Week started on February 10 to showcase some exciting fashion trends that everyone will be wearing in 2023. Fashion Week will be followed by London, Milan, and finally Paris.
Designers and brands, including Tory Burch, LaQuan Smith, and Dion Lee, among others, are sharing their Fall-Winter 2023 collections, presenting incredible designs for the season with vibrant colours, show-stopping silhouettes, adventurous runway elements, and more. Every single runway show has been unique, with stunning proposals for women and men. It seems that creative designers have been putting into work their creativity to the fullest to propose to fashion enthusiasts and the world the most glamorous clothes that enhance their beauty. Christian Siriano’s Fall-Winter 2023 lined his NYFW runway with Audrey Hepburn as their inspiring muse. To be precise, Hepburn is in a rose garden at midnight. Entitled “Second Skin”, fashion label Dion Lee created tension between sexuality and sensuality with a collection that gave much to talk about while reinventing themselves once again. “I think as a designer, you’re constantly shifting, evolving, and changing. Fashion is like reinventing yourself or constantly moving on, like a departure. It was that parallel between identity and I suppose patterns in nature – my last collection was really looking at patterns in nature and this idea of biomimicry, so it shifted from that leaf and nature into something that was more reptilian,” Lee said backstage.
For this month, there has been a mix of feminine and masculine, animal textures have been included as motifs, while colours are varied. From Tory Burch to Dion Lee, here are the buzziest moments in New York this month.
TORY BURCH
Tory Burch’s latest Fall-Winter 2023 collection was all about embracing imperfections and breaking traditional stereotypes of feminine beauty. The creative designer mixed strong outerwear and tailoring with lingerie and feminine knits. “I’m fascinated about how women today have been liberated from a preconceived concept of beauty,” the designer said during a preview. During the runway show, we could see models wearing oversized suiting with padding, dresses with lapels, slouchy sweaters, oversized trousers, and more.
DION LEE
Dion Lee’s Fall-Winter 2023 collection was all about high-end party pieces. For the season, the brand showcased an incredible collection, embracing the club scene once again, with top-to-toe sequins, sheer pieces, and plenty of clingy dresses. Entitled “Second Skin”, the designer also referenced literal interpretations of snakeskin, shedding and scales on his designs, as seen in leather jackets, skirts, and trousers.
LAQUAN SMITH
The most awaited fashion show, the LaQuan Smith, took place this year during New York Fashion Week, showcasing a sexy, sultry and incredible collection. Sheer everything was the key inspiration for the label. We could see models walking on the runway and wearing sheer dresses, dramatic cut-outs, latex and catsuits. “This collection has a little bit more of an elevated sophistication,” Smith said at a preview at his Long Island City studio. “The LaQuan Smith woman is growing, and she’s incorporating these sexy elements she finds here in all aspects of her life,” he added.
RODARTE
Fashion label Rodarte unveiled its latest Fall-Winter 2023 collection during New York Fashion Week. Dark romance and the gothic eveningwear were the key inspirations for the brand, nodding to the hype surrounding Netflix’s latest hit, Wednesday. The brand showcased long black gowns with exaggerated sleeves, black veils, ballgowns, gothic make-up, caped dresses, and more.
CHRISTIAN SIRIANO
For this Fall-Winter 2023 season, Christian Siriano took Audrey Hepburn as his inspiring muse for his latest collection. The creative designer showcased an entire collection paying homage to the lady’s style and glamour that characterises the multifaceted actress and model. Throughout the collection, we could see Chic Little Black Dresses, statement hats, floral motifs, tulle gowns, and statement prints.
