Louis Vuitton

Born a century ago, Louis Vuitton was founded in 1854 by the fashion mogul Louis Vuitton himself. People are absolutely haywire about the exquisite craftsmanship and quality that the brand possesses, thanks to the intertwining combination of L and V.

Louis Vuitton is known for its trend-adapting approach – not only an avid adapter but the brand has been an avid trendsetter too. But one of the unique things about this year’s collection was that the brand made a perfect balance between the past, present, and future.

The looks that we personally liked on the runway included the loose tux jackets and hippie dresses that were popular in the ‘70s and ’80s. This throwback into the past was not over yet and we were introduced to the Gen-Z kind of partywear followed by some futuristic approaches towards fashion.

Balmain

Again, an epitome brand that portrays French authenticity in fashion –Balmain was founded in 1945 by Pierre Balmain. Despite the brand’s tight grip on fashion, just this decade has seen it achieve an enormous level of recognition. While Balmain Paris was somewhat lost among fathering luxury brands, it has finally found its place with Gen-Z, and that too in a pretty neat way.

This year, they presented Balmain’s SS23 Collection for women. Regarding their approach, Balmain chose to blend the primitive and futuristic worlds together.

We have seen brands revive the dead trend and we guess Balmain is trying to do the same with this collection. Balmain’s fashion looked like it was reviving trends when it came on stage, as we said. But one thing everyone tagged Balmain with this year was the detail of craftsmanship. The outfits looked well put together and the designs were incredibly creative.

Loewe

Experience is all that it takes to fill up that pool of knowledge and what’s better than a 175-year-old fashion company starting on the luxurious streets of Spain? Loewe being LVMH’s oldest fashion house has its own style of fashion. As for Loewe’s SS23 collection, it was exactly what we expected. The brand is known to take on a more colourful and jolly approach, while also paying attention to the details and following the theme thoroughly. But when the brand came on stage - everyone was shocked, because people thought some Disney show had begun.

The designs were not bizarre, but they were among the most unique ones on stage. Virtual art, blockchain, and sustainable fashion were incorporated into the designs with a great deal of creativity, but most importantly, they made everyone’s ears perk up.

Chanel

We were discussing the pool of knowledge - some fashion moguls have a lot of it. One of them was Coco Chanel. Being the founder of the French luxury conglomerate, Chanel, the designer is known to be one of the masters behind the fashion evolution.

It was no different this year, as Chanel opted to stay in the past and represent its heritage quite prominently. As Virginie Viard was the mastermind behind the collection, we expected signature Chanel silhouettes with bold colours and a bold message.

When Chanel was on the runway – the aura automatically turned plush because when we finally saw the looks, they were mesmerizing. Being a womenswear collection, the brand represented feminine elegance with utmost delicacy. Brightly hued ginghams with sophisticated polka-dotted bows and patterns like houndstooth made everything worth watching.
