We hate to say goodbye, but days eight and nine have brought Paris Fashion Week Spring RTW 2023 to an end. Here’s the roundup of our favourite looks from the final two days of what was an absolute fashion frenzy in the French capital.

Thom Browne

Thom Browne wowed the crowd at Paris Fashion Week Spring RTW 2023 with what he called “an American prom mixed with Cinderella mixed with the Paris Opera”. And it was quite the show with a blend of quirky looks and themes that somehow melded together perfectly.

Zimmermann

Inspired by an amusement park in Sydney, Australia that operated from 1906 to 1911, designer Nicky Zimmerman gave us uncomplicated Edwardian-like corsetry and scenic-print dresses alongside stripy dresses reminiscent of circus tents with billowy trimmings resembling seaweed.

Chanel

Head designer Virginie Viard set out to blend the old and the new, and the result? An effortlessly gorgeous Paris Fashion Week Spring RTW 2023 collection that is classic, contemporary and timeless.

A.W.A.K.E. Mode

This Paris Fashion Week Spring RTW 2023 collection was quite the rollercoaster as its inspirations ranged from Vikings and Scandinavian fairy tales to the epic science fiction film Dune, directed by David Lynch. While some pieces may have seemed offbeat, the collection as a whole felt like everyday wearables.

Miu Miu

Miu Miu’s Spring RTW 2023 collection felt a little bit serious with an equal amount of sexy but in a young, fun kind of way. The shapes were simple, as were the cuts, and fabric choices seem to adventure from leather and stonewashed denim to nylon.

Louis Vuitton

The Louis Vuitton show closed Paris Fashion Week Spring RTW 2023 with an otherworldly show that left the audience in awe. Nicolas Ghesquière’s aim was to disrupt feminity with scale—using oversized metal elements like zippers, buckles, straps, and clasps to break out of the “sweet” and “pretty” moulds.
