The creative directors and designers of brands like Dior and Schiaparelli put their all into this season’s fashion statements, emphasising that their clothing is, in fact, artwork. Continue on to see the top fashion trends from the Spring/Summer 2023 Haute Couture collections.
Fashion is no stranger to scandal, but it’s fair to say that haute couture week this season had an unusually incendiary start. The Spring/Summer 2023 Haute Couture was no different. The world’s most renowned couture houses unveiled their latest collections, giving us a hint of what is coming in terms of fashion. Craftsmanship, as always, was the berth of all the haute couture collections, though this month’s showings were particularly magnificent.
The runway was a feast for our eyes, with incredible, daring and classic looks we cannot wait to try on. This year’s fashion trends spotted at couture week emphasised texture, colour, quality and craftsmanship. Creative designers put much effort into creating new, creative and iconic designs that will leave a lasting impression on fashion enthusiasts and the whole world. At the forefront of this season’s designs are extravagant necklines, detailed beading, statement jewellery, and more.
There were plenty of collections this year, but the one that left us speechless was Schiaparelli. The label unveiled its latest “Inferno”-inspired collection featuring faux taxidermy that looked so real. Chanel also had an unforgettable moment on the runway, as larger-than-life animal sculptures adorned. However, Virginie Viard created tweed suits featuring sequined corgis, for example.
From extravagant necklines to detailed beading, here are some of the boldest fashion trends spotted at Haute Couture Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2023 runways.

STATEMENT JEWELLERY
