In less than a week, New York Fashion Week showed the most dynamic state in recent years, from the appearance of European fashion brands such as Fendi and Marni in New York, to the grand holding of the Vogue World event, the city's fashion energy is becoming more open and inclusive.
In addition to classic American fashion, fashion designers from the East are also struggling to make their own place here.
Looking back at the spring/Summer 2023 New York Fashion Week, "diversity" replaced "business" and became the popular keyword of the season.
After reading the material of Claire McCardell, the "mother of sportswear" in the United States, "modularity", a technical term that seems to have little to do with fashion, became the core of Tory Burch's exploration this season, and she implemented the "unfettered" philosophy advocated by McCardell in the new collection. "Even in New York in the '90s, women didn't want to be limited in what they could wear, so we spent a lot of time developing stretchy fabrics that could be worn in different ways."
It turns out that Burch's efforts are obvious, and the loose shirt + trousers/slit skirt + elastic waist/tube skirt constitute the basic "modules", which can achieve completely different effects through color and material adjustment and reorganization.
Designer Dion Lee was familiar with modularity long before it was introduced into the fashion context.
The brand's classic tights, functional straps, miniskirts, wide-leg pants are still standard, although the styles are not the same, but in Lee's modeling, these pieces are not wrong to mix and match, "I like to focus on the body first, in a way related to the form of the body structure to create", he seems to have broken the point - even if the style is diverse, But the core of his creation always rests in the human body itself.
We are looking at Dion Lee's fashion, but we are also feeling the physical beauty of fashion, which is why his designs are never tired of.
What could be more direct than getting the modular elements of fashion from a brand founder?
Wes Gordon's Carolina Herrera 2023 spring/Summer collection is unhesitatingly reminiscent of Ms. Herrera's own signature look, revealing the brand's style code with crisp shirts and vibrant pants and dresses, and Gordon's interpretation, This style has been through The Times, and the more gorgeous and brilliant print also brings our classic thoughts back to the modern, creating a "happy fashion" that belongs to the brand of Carolina Herrera.
There was no shortage of lavish parties and drinks in New York at the dawn of the lights, which provided a natural breeding ground for shiny dresses.
Tom Ford did not disappoint with his style of glitz and extravagance in the final show of this season's New York Fashion Week, but he also used this season to look back on the shining days of the past, The see-through t-shirts and embroidered dresses are natural reminders of the sexy glamour he created for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent around the turn of the millennium.
Brandon Maxwell may be best remembered for Lady Gaga's dramatic costume change at the Met Gala three years ago.
"My brand has been around for almost seven years now, and I feel like I've matured," Maxwell said this season, hoping to prove that his eye-catching designs are practical: Sequined embroidered pieces began to appear alongside suits, linen trousers and tank vests, making Maxwell a lot easier and more fun than it used to be when it loaded up on glitter.
Christian Siriano, on the other hand, is in no rush to change, he knows what he is good at and has received positive feedback from the market, we have recently seen a surge in demand for evening wear, but we are not delivering fast enough."
In the face of this shortage, Siriano has offered more classic luxury options this season, and we really wanted to take cues from Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn, Discuss what a modern-day Marilyn Monroe and Bianca Jagger should look like.
Back in the 1970s, Lauren Hutton and Naomi Sims wore minimalist suits on the cover of fashion magazines, Halston's modern American style rose, and those pioneering designers with dynamic and sexy styles deeply influenced the formation of Michael Kors' aesthetic style.
"It made me fall in love with American style," he says. "They're all freeing the body in different ways."
In the 2023 spring and summer series, Kors starts with the exquisite tailoring of urban suits and gives women a comfortable wearing feeling from the most simple perspective. Traditional suits and long coats are paired with casual shirts and skirts, depicting the elements of a new generation of American minimalist style: modernity and freedom.
In contrast, Khaite's minimalist style is infused with a hard-to-miss wild core, which stems from designer Catherine Holstein's recent obsession with 1990s David Lynch films.
Massive python prints, oversized strapless bubble dresses in matte silk satin, and the bold clash of masculine suit cut and low-waisted, wide-legged trousers added a grim filter to the basics.
