Fall 2023 New York Fashion Week NYFW Day one of New York Fashion Week feels like a foreshadowing of another basic mall clothes season: color-blocked trench coats, truly uninspired basics, a continued redundant nostalgia of the nineties… What Are The Observable Fashion Trends For Fall 2023?

Couture Spring 2023 Fashion Shows and Trends
Couture Spring 2023 fashion shows coincide with men’s fashion week. Doja Cat’s shenanigans at Viktor and Rolf and another less impactful Schiaparelli show distracts from the collection in my opinion: had she just done the Pat Macgrath body makeup stunt I think she could’ve enjoyed the press, however, feel like her subsequent costume drew the…
Paris Fashion Week Spring 2023 PFW SS23 Runway Trends, Menswear and Womenswear
Paris Fashion Week Spring 2023 Paris Fashion Week was by far the best capital of fashion for the Spring 2023 season. Unfortunately, America or New York has fallen behind its European counterparts it fought so hard to prove it was equal with so long ago. I hope that will change- design houses or their corporate…
Milan Fashion Week SPring 2023 MFW SS23 Runway Trends, Womenswear, Menswear
Milan Fashion Week Spring 2023 Milan Fashion Week is more substantive than NYFW and LFW while covering the same trends and extending some from the Fall collections. With the exception of Bluemarine, I’d say it is still rather underwhelming and unremarkable. There isn’t anything from the looks I find to be stand-out among the mass-appeal…
London Fashion Week Spring 2023 LFW SS23, Runway Trends, Fashion Shows Menswear and Womenswear
Admittedly, London Fashion Week (LFW) has always been my least favorite of the fashion capitals- I have always felt like the silhouettes are often a bit grotesque and the proportions are far out. For London Fashion Week Spring 2023, it seems nothing’s changed in that regard- I have saved but twenty-nine photos from eight collections:…
New York Fashion Week Spring 2023 Menswear and Womenswear, Runway Trends
New York Fashion Week Spring 2023 starts off with a reflection on the styles and crafts that dominated the pandemic- crochet and knitting, quilting, smocking, and all those awful Target cottage-core dresses which can only serve as The Handmaid’s Tale‘s preparatory wardrobe. I do believe we should move away from fast fashion and toward handmade,…
New York Fashion Week Fall 2022 NYFW
New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Fall 2022, beginning on my birthday of course, featured a wide variety of fabric selections and silhouettes, and was predominately well-tailored, highly wearable, and glamorous with some designers focusing on originality and innovative ways of reinventing staples such as the anorak or parka. Leather, sequins, shearling, shear embellished lace, metallic…
Mens Fall 2022
Men’s Fall 2022 is the most exciting season for menswear since the dandy movement years ago– as menswear has remained unchanged for well over a century, it’s high time we have at least a fraction of the options our female counterparts have in fashion. It’s about time menswear shed the basic-bitch mold it cast itself…
Christopher John Rogers Pre-Fall 2022
Christopher John Rogers was fun and playful for Pre-Fall 2022, from the interesting dart-manipulation to the prints and unusual silhouettes. The color palette was highly saturated…
Dior Men’s Pre-Fall 2022: Beatnik “Shape In a Drape”
Dior Men’s Pre-Fall 2022 Fashion Show was Beatnik Heavy with the Kerouac prints, featuring a supple leather trench coat and shearling aviator jacket, waxed twill trench coat, loads of knits, and lustrous velvet trousers and Fair Isle knit paillette beanies sure to make an “everything plus” fella look like a “shape in a drape.” The leather…
