Every Look From Givenchy Fall/Winter 2023
Through recontextualized compositions and silhouettes, Givenchy has brought a reinvigorated tone of elegance and glamor to Paris Fashion Week. “The reflection of a new elegance takes shape in a balance between the new and the old,” says Givenchy in their show’s notes. In his latest collection, Creative Director Matthew M. Williams alludes to Hubert De Givenchy’s classic designs to appreciate the art-driven women that surround him every day.
Styled by CR’s Editor-in-Chief Carine Rotifeld, Williams taps into the simplicity and effortless nature of Parisian wardrobe—important basics and neutral tones—while bringing an aire of American comfort and novelty with relaxed jackets and trousers. The collection aims to empower the modern-day woman, who is equally as comfortable as she is confident and glamorous.

Every Look From Diesel Fall/Winter 2023
It all begins with an idea.
Sexy clothes, sexy people, and a sexy time were the themes of Diesel’s show in Milan as models walked down the runway next to a pile of 200,000 Durex condoms and moaning on the soundtrack. Representing freedom, choice, and pleasure, Diesel exemplifies that sex is a human right –and one that’s meant to revel in. “Sex positivity is something amazing,” said Creative Director Glenn Martens in the show’s notes. “We like to play at Diesel, and we are serious about it.”
In a collection based on individual freedom and experimental nature, of course, condoms provide a central theme. The installation served as a sneak peek into their forthcoming capsule collection with Durex, which is the first time Durex has collaborated with a fashion brand. Dropping in April, the collection will include jersey T-shirts that blend Diesel and Durex’s logos as well as 300,000 free condoms available in Diesel stores around the world following the release.
Every Look From Christian Siriano Fall/Winter 2023
It’s all roses—and more roses—for Christian Siriano’s latest New York Fashion Week presentation. On Thursday night, guests filtered into New York City’s Gotham Hall where the building’s grand interiors had been transformed into a sumptuous rose garden. “Welcome to Audrey Hepburn’s rose garden at midnight,” said the show’s notes.
The 56-look collection explored modern iterations of the ‘50s silhouettes that defined Hepburn’s influence on Old Hollywood. Roses took center stage – whether blooming from hems or repeated in abstract prints – in a timeless palette of black, white, purple, rose, and pops of vibrant yellow. Effortless fabric draping and accordion-style pleating took on the texture and appearance of rose petals as the looks swayed down the runway. In terms of accessories, wide-brim derby hats in a variety of tones and textures were a standout in calling upon Hepburn’s sophisticated style. There was sequin, there was fur, there were checkers and lots and lots of roses. The show gave off a glamorous feel, with a “vintage luxury” look.
