With the global pandemic caused by the coronavirus calming down, the World’s Fashion Week has also gradually backed to normal to the physical show from the digital. As usual, each brand’s show will be held in major cities of the country in 2023.
”Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams” exhibition finally arrived in Tokyo, Japan. The event will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT) starting from December 21, 2022, to May 28, 2023. This is a retrospective exhibition that has traveled around the world, starting in Paris, then London, Shanghai, and New York.
The number of companies that are strengthening their sustainable efforts in order to protect the global environment is increasing year by year, and plant-derived “vegan leather” is more known as an environmentally friendly fabric material.
Vegan leather has less impact on the environment than natural leather and synthetic leather, so that is also considered an alternative material to leather for its animal welfare. Among them, It’s “mushroom leather” made from “mushroom” that is currently being adopted by many high-end brands.
On December 12th, Jacquemus presented its spring/summer 2023 collection at Le Bourget Airport, just outside Paris, France.
At the show venue, Blackpink’s Jennie also appeared. She is a good friend and muse to the designer since she attended the Spring 2022 Hawaii show.
On December 6th, Chanel unveiled the 2022-23 Métiers d’Art collection in Dakar, Senegal’s West African capital.
This is the first time that European or US luxury fashion brands have staged a fashion show in sub-Saharan Africa. The venue for the show was the Senegalese capital’s former Palais de Justice (now home to its art Biennale).
On December 3, Dior presented Pre-Fall Men’s 2023 collection in Egypt. It was a show that appealed to all the senses, merging ancient civilizations, Maison history, and futuristic images.
The luxury fashion house Balenciaga is facing backlash surrounding its new ads, featuring children holding teddy bears dressed in bondage.
This controversy was caused by their recent 2022 “Gift Collection” campaign in support of the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2023 collection that debuted this fall at Paris Fashion Week.
