The Spring-Summer 2023 fashion trends to know, from biker vibes to baby blue and 3D flowers
To say that the calendar for this Fashion Month was busy would be an understatement. Over the course of a month, the best of fashion was showcased, from New York to London, followed by Milan and then finally Paris. While the Fall-Winter 2022-2023 season saw fashion go back to basics, Spring-Summer 2023 had a festive spirit and evoked imagination, with pieces that married fashion and art. The 2000s, which had recently seemed to be gradually losing momentum, surprisingly made the cut for another season. Cargo pants were also everywhere, highlighting the will of houses and labels to serve fashion that fits in with everyday life. In terms of color, the Barbiecore trend gave way to softer shades, including baby blue, sunset tones, and monochrome beiges.

A round-up of the key fashion trends seen during Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2023:
Y/Project, Loewe, Balmain via GoRunway
Optical illusions
In what was an ingenious display of creativity, fashion played with optical illusions, unveiling trompe-l'oeil pieces that transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary. With pixelated shapes, trouser skirts and faux topless effects, the body was celebrated with futuristic accents at the Y/Project, Loewe and Balmain shows.
Coperni, Diesel, Fendi via GoRunway
Cargo
From their origins in the British army in the late 1930s to today, cargo pants have not aged a bit. At the crossroads between military aesthetics and streetwear influences, they became a fashion essential at Coperni, Diesel and Fendi.
Bottega Veneta, Off-White, Loewe via GoRunway
3D Flowers
Whether with a new twist on a bouquet or with lifelike tropical flowers, Off-White [Ibrahim Kamara's debut collection], Loewe [with its giant anthurium] and Bottega Veneta transformed simple garments into blossoming works of art.
