September’s 2022 New York Fashion Week showed us what’s going to be trending next year, and we can’t wait! We loved the bold color palette and floral designs that walked the runways. For floral inspiration, we adored Carolina Herrara’s collection. Clothes shaped like actual flowers were truly amazing, as seen on Loewe and Dion Lee’s runways. Here, there were dresses shaped like anthurium blooms and monstera leaves that blew us away with their bold, tropical vibe. For glamor, Schiaparelli’s collection showcased luxe accents with bold flowers. And for a tip to future bridesmaids in rich velvet dresses, a bolder, less delicate flower will look fantastic.
The vibrant and uplifting colors of NYFW will be everywhere in spring and summer 2023 fashion. The top hues that dominated the runways were bright fuschia, tangerine orange, fluorescent green, vibrant yellow, and cobalt blue. Strong color combinations and bold hues were on display at many fashion designers’ shows, along with more neutral tones, such as Vanilla Cream and Gray Lilac, which also made a strong impression. Paired together, the neutral tones and bold hues projected individuality, strength, creativity, and fun.
