New York Fashion Week in Fall and Winter 2023 embraces nature in all its forms, including its plants and animals, as our friends as stated by Collina Strada. Butterflies are the most beautiful creatures in the universe and nature with their architectural forms and inherited legends from generation to generation, they are our heritage that the deep-rooted roles draw from the finest creations. This event marked the return of Rodarte to the shows after a long absence, giving the event a boost by presenting an inspired show from the artwork “Ghost Opera,” in the absence of big names this season.
Animals are our friends, so why kill them?
The house raised its minimalist slogan with images of endangered animals to prevent their exploitation, especially in the production of clothing. Comfortable pants-printed T-shirts with animal prints and recycled satin and canvas were made in response to sustainability standards.
Call Of The Wild theme
Australian designer Dion Lee used printed fabric that depicts snakes in bright yellow or red colors and used mini dresses with one shoulder or dresses made of recycled vegetable leather decorated with metal studs and circles. The dresses were paired with Gladiator sandals decorated with leather pieces or tied with a primitive knot to give a primitive touch to the looks.
Tribal Mood style
Designer Jonathan Simkhai made his clothing from plant-based leather in earthy colors and incorporated tribal-inspired fringes and tassels into the designs. The designer also used natural fabrics such as linen and cotton to give a more relaxed feel to the looks. This style is inspired by the natural environment and aims to create a connection between the wearer and nature.
Victorian Factor… Gothic style
The house has gathered in its new autumn 2023 collection between the Victorian style represented by crochet, dental, embroidered, and quilted fabrics with feminine frills, and the Gothic style for the makeup side that focuses on the engineering eyeliner, and the black color dominating and sloping necklines and slanted cuts, which smoothly fit the figure.
New Thousand Year Barbie
Designer Christian Siriano drew inspiration from the new Thousand Year Barbie for his new collection, relying on non-standard cuts and uneven edges, we saw the white crop top with uneven sleeves paired with wide-leg trousers, and we were impressed by the magenta shade that the designer relied on, executing dresses and outfits with multiple fabrics and strong colors.
Denim – The Key
The house relied on processed denim fabric, making its texture smoother, and used it to create outfits from puffed bomber jackets made from denim and cargo pants, and dresses from black, thin, and tight denim decorated with lace, and sometimes the shiny fabric is used for evening wear.
Fashion resembling pictorial paintings
The Italian house excelled in relying on artists such as the creative Kosa who became famous for her big-dot paintings her artistic works focused on large dots and vivid colors such as yellow and red, creative flashes that the house relied on, such as large yellow geometric squares to execute midi dresses that extend under the legs.
Greetings to the Butterflies
The house focused in its ready collection for fall 2023 on embracing the butterfly because it represents transformation and evolution, they drew from its structure and wing shape with dresses, gowns, and even wraps and adorned the unified or shiny dresses with them, to focus on the beauty and magic of nature.
