See all the best haute couture Spring 2023 looks, from Schiaparelli's surrealist masterpieces to Giambattista Valli's glamorous gowns
Something is different about Haute Couture Week this season.
For the first time in a while, we're seeing a creative energy, almost fervour, from designers, one that has laid dormant throughout the pandemic and arguably even long before that. It could be that the recent departure of fashion giants, such as André Leon Talley, Thierry Mugler, Hanae Mori, Issey Miyake, and Vivienne Westwood, has given the entire industry a sharp reminder of a time before sales and shock value dictated design.
Or perhaps the contagious inventiveness and innovation embodied by new blood, such as Miss Sohee and Robert Wun, both of whom are making their haute couture debut in Paris, has caught on and induced a renewed focus. Either way, the stunning results in Paris speak for themselves and paints an optimistic picture for the future of fashion.
