From New York to London, Carlin Creative shares its vision of the first salvo of SS23 fashion weeks.
The Big Apple has seen a surge of energy driven by events such as the Fendi show for the Baguette bag's anniversary, the festive street parade organized by Vogue with Lil Nas X as a guest star or the unexpected collab' between Tommy Hilfiger and the British Richard Quinn. More than ever, New York is a fertile ground for young labels committed to societal issues and the representation of minorities in fashion, such as Mowalola, No Sesso or Luar.
In London, the atmosphere was different with the farewell ceremonies for Elizabeth II, which led some labels such as Burberry or Raf Simons to cancel or postpone their shows, while Mrs. Beckham joined the Parisian calendar. Many tributes to the Queen were slipped in during the shows and despite (or thanks to?) the celebrations, London was the center of the world for a few days, finally offering a global news to the city, which remains one of the most creative with new talents like Ashlyn, Tanner Fletcher or S.S. Daley.
Here is what Carlin Creative has spotted for you!

‍

‍

‍

The body

‍

The body and its expressiveness remain a strong orientation in both NYC and London, with a multitude of dynamic cuts and sculptural indentations that redesign the bust in a lively stretch mode, confirming the influence of swimwear in fashion. Symmetrical or asymmetrical, everything is possible!

The bustier and the corsets

‍

Bustiers and corsets remain very numerous and treated in extremely varied styles: retro or design, influenced by traditional corsetry or neo-carapace, outdated or show-off, they confirm their leadership again this season.

‍

The dark

‍

Even if Tom Ford's glittering and discoid glam pleased everyone, it's however necessary to note a slightly dark mood among many designers, with accents sometimes romantico-goths or based on the sobriety of an almost timeless black / white, evoking the Belgian designers of the late 90's-early 2000's period.

‍

The purity

‍

The search for purity and a minimalist, urban and contemporary look is at the center of the aesthetic concerns of New Yorkers, with this season a craze for transparency and semi-nudity, thus posing the crucial question: with or without bra?

The net dress

‍

In direct continuity, the net dress is almost a chestnut in the New York collections, it's almost an essential for some labels. Often proposed in neutral or natural tones, we are happy to see it also in flashy colors, it wakes up!

‍

Gardening

‍

How about gardening? Well, the British are totally in their element, combining agrarian romanticism and the art of the offbeat, but the New Yorkers are not to be outdone, echoing the aspirations of urbanites for bucolic spaces of freedom in the big city.

Fendi

Tommy Hilfiger x Richard Quinn

‍

Always adept at Show Now / Buy Now, Tommy Hilfiger presented at the end of its FW show the collab' logo with the British Richard Quinn.

Vogue, 130th anniversary

‍

And to make the party even crazier, Vogue has called all the tops and Lil Nas X himself for the 130th anniversary of the magazine, in the streets of the Big Apple!
