Purchases | New York Fashion Week: a real ode to the nineties, between lightheartedness and minimalism

(ETX Daily Up) – The laid-back fashion that took over during the pandemic is giving way to uninhibited fashion, more carefree and festive than ever. The New York Fashion Week, which ended on September 14, gave pride of place to color, sequins, transparencies and other nude silhouettes, without forgetting to be inspired, again and again, by the inevitable 90s.

Nostalgia when you care … We know that fashion is an eternal new beginning, but since the end of the pandemic a strong trend persists and it is a sign: a strong taste for the 90s. Faced with social, environmental and economic crises, the return to origins, to a certain purity, a form of neglect, it sounds like a necessity, and is reflected first, as often, in the wardrobe. At New York Fashion Week, this materialized in a very light wardrobe, including miniskirts and maxi transparencies, a profusion of sequins and strong colors full of vivacity.

An exasperated sensuality

The fashion trends that leave an indelible mark on our wardrobes. The antinomy seems to be pushed to a climax, yet certain inspirations do not intend to weaken in the months to come. After two seasons, we thought we would see the miniskirt gradually disappear from our closets, but that’s not the case. On the contrary. Updated by Miu Miu two seasons ago the micro skirt intends to acquire even more importance, and lose a few more centimeters, for the spring-summer 2023 season, as seen on the catwalks of Ekhaus Latta, Prabal Gurung, Maisie Wilen, or even LaQuan Fabbro.

But this sensuality, a symbol of emancipation and self-affirmation, is also reflected in a myriad of transparent silhouettes, embellished or not with visible lingerie. High briefs from Jason Wu and Marni, bras as tops from Bevza, Tom Ford and LaQuan Smith, and corseted dresses from Monse … Lightness will undoubtedly be there, for both women and men. , as seen in some houses that have given pride of place to non-binary collections.

New York at the party

In contrast to the gloomy period, fashion will celebrate next summer. Something that will result in particular in a palette usually dedicated to festive moments, such as the end of the year, and not to the summer season, with an emphasis on golden reflections, and sequins and sequins. These are flashy silhouettes, but certainly not a hymn to the 70s disco, as these sparkling colors and details are mostly found on minimalist, no-frills outfits. Tom Ford, Michael Kors and Christian Siriano are among the houses that set the tone for next season.

During the day, bright colors will be the center of attention. Pink, which has garnered unanimous support this season, will receive a response from electric shades of orange. It is clearly the shadow that has dominated the celebrations in the Big Apple at the fashion shows, through monochromatic looks most of the time, as seen at Marni, Eckhaus Latta and LaQuan Smith, during this Fashion Week.

Typical codes of the nineties

As we have seen, the designers once again drew inspiration from the 90s to draw the contours of the women’s wardrobe for spring-summer 2023. An influence that was reflected on the catwalks by the presence – more and more times – of waist trousers low, most often associated with bras or crop tops, dynamic and refined silhouettes and layering games. The houses Tibi e Tory Burch will not have escaped this throwback to the 90s.
