Your expert guide to the new season.
They can't be a coincidence.
In my 12 years spent working in the fashion industry, I’ve seen a monumental shift in the way in which trends are talked about. From Instagram’s formative years, when some considered it taboo to wear the same outfit twice on their grid (what was all that about?) to the new-season looks from the runway that would be replicated on the market almost overnight, the stance was very clear; new = good. Thankfully, things have come a long way in that time, and now everyone, from editors to buyers to consumers, has shifted their focus to longevity. Every purchase we make, be it high-end or affordable, should be done so with consideration; does said purchase speak to my personal taste? Do I already own something like this? Will it go with the pieces I own? These are just some o...
I don’t like leaving things up to chance, so I took it upon myself to find out which fashion colour trends are set to be big news in 2023. How? By scanning 200+ runways, that’s how. Unlike other trends, which you need to examine with almost microscopic precision to discern, colour trends are more obvious to spot at a glance—especially the bold ones, which literally jump out of the webpage. I surveyed over thousands and thousands of runway snaps and now, I can confidently say that these five shades were the most prevalent in the new collections. For a quick way to make your outfits feel fresh for 2023, I suggest you start wearing these tones pronto. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

It’s time to talk spring/summer 2023 fashion trends! Spanning four cities, over 350 designer showcases and more celebrity model moments than you can shake a roll of body tape at, ask anyone in attendance, and they’ll tell you that Fashion Month was back at its biggest and brightest for spring/summer 2023. Having pivoted from perching on the front row to sitting in front of our laptops (cup of tea in hand) for the past few seasons, we expected some designers to entirely forgo the frivolity of “real-life” fashion shows in favour of the digital experience. This, however, was not the case; in fact, not a single virtual invitation landed in my inbox. Instead, with a 45% increase in shows compared to autumn/winter, designers appeared to come to the collective ag...

As someone who has limited their palette to that of neutrals for the past few years, my New Year’s style resolution is to broaden my colour horizons for 2023. I told this to my colleagues who, by now, are very familiar with my penchant for all-things beige and brown and, elated, they asked me which colours I’m keen to explore. To this, I didn’t have an answer. Of course, I know what colours are “in”—scrolling Instagram is a legitimate part of my job, so I’m always aware of what’s currently trending—but in terms of guessing the fashion colour trends that would dominate 2023, I’d be doing just that—guessing.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; accessories are magical things. There’s no point in debating the subject; I won’t be told otherwise. What else has the power to elevate a basic jeans-and-t-shirt outfit like a piece of jewellery or, indeed, boasts the ability to make a dress work for day or night like a well-chosen shoe. Accessories unlock more outfit potential in a way clothes simply cannot and, in my book, that makes them magic. Assuming we’re in agreement, I thought it might be of interest to talk you through the biggest accessory trends 2023 has to offer, as seen on the spring/summer runways. The new designer collections are always the first place I look to for accessory inspiration for the year ahead and, there’s a distinct ...
A pretty important part of being a fashion editor is being able to predict what will be big before, well, it gets big. And how did we predict correctly? Well, it’s a lot more than just guesswork or relying on our personal taste. We spend a huge amount of time analysing the runways—my most-recent efforts have been chronicled into our overarching spring/summer 2023 fashion trend report, should you fancy a read—and generally soaking up everything that’s trending in the industry at that time. Often, we’ll also seek out insights from brands, buyers and analysts to reinforce our findings. Today, I’ve done all three to bring you a comprehensive list of the very best designer buys 2023 has to offer. Of course, cult buys and new brands can emer...
