![]() ![]() It was shocking, however, when Oscar-nominated actress Florence Pugh stepped out ahead of the models to perform such a monologue. “There is a disconnect between what we see, and the physicality of the product,” Snoeren said.įollowing the show, only one star was brave enough to bring one of the dresses from the collection to the red carpet: Elsa Hosk, who donned a design at the Cannes Film Festival in May.Ĭonsidering Harris Reed’s fall 2023 collection, “All the World’s a Stage,” was Shakespeare-inspired, it was not surprising when the show began with a soliloquy. “It’s an absurd take on the stereotype of a couture ballgown,” Snoeren told Vogue, as well as a commentary on how Internet culture and the ease of manipulating images has affected our sense of reality. Another gown completely intersected the bodice of the woman, sticking out behind her like a tulle-covered tail. One dress stood just to the side of the model, exposing her undergarments as she walked the runway. Models appeared on the runway in quintessential ball gowns worn in not-so-quintessential ways. Things were no different at the Viktor & Rolf spring 2023 couture show, where the brand provided a bit of humor to the otherwise decorous air of couture week. ![]() The show notes spoke to the relationship between man and robot, and the balance of power between the two-while many saw it as another attempt at a viral moment as opposed to legitimate fashion commentary, one cannot argue against the repeated success of the former endeavor, at least.ĭutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have long embraced the concept of wearable art on the runway, taking the idea of avant-garde to the extreme with each of their presentations. As the show continued, models passed the brand’s Swipe bag back and forth between the Spots. The machine playfully snatched the jacket right off Van Rompaey’s back before gently handing it back to her. At the apotheosis of the presentation, model Rianne Van Rompaey took center stage wrapped in black fabric, leaning into the yellow and black four-legged robot for a kiss. The Spots roamed the floor, sharing the stage with the models who showed off Coperni’s latest collection. This time, though, humans were replaced by machinery, as dog-like Spot robots from the American company Boston Dynamics stole the show (and some articles of clothing) throughout the presentation. This year, creative director Sébastien Meyer and CEO Arnaud Vaillant attempted to recreate the magic of that moment, leaning on technology once again to bring their collection to life. ![]() Last year, when Coperni made a dress appear on Bella Hadid out of thin air, it left the industry in awe (and made our best runway moments of 2022). Below, we’re looking back at the ten biggest runway moments of the year-the ones that went viral, brought tears to our eyes, and had us buzzing in anticipation for what’s to come in 2024. There were some (literal) wild moments courtesy of Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli and, naturally, a whole lot of celebrities. Coperni once again proved its technological chops, while Haider Ackermann made us miss his namesake line even more when he stepped in to design for Jean Paul Gaultier Couture back in January. Between it all, there were plenty of other noteworthy moments taking place during both the ready-to-wear and couture seasons. Of course, debuts abounded as well: Sabato De Sarno finally got to prove himself after officially stepping in as head of Gucci, while Pharrell Williams staged his grand debut for Louis Vuitton Mens in Paris. Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, Jeremy Scott at Moschino, and Tom Ford at his eponymous brand were just some of the casualties the fashion community faced. The musical chairs of the fashion industry’s top spots seemed continuous throughout 2023, and caused both the fall/winter and spring/summer seasons to turn into an array of goodbye (and welcome) parties. If this year in fashion will be remembered by anything, it’ll surely be the constant stream of news announcing the departures and appointments of new creative directors. ![]()
