London Fashion Week 2023: A glimpse into the fashion highlights
London, known for its eclectic fashion scene hosts this biannual spectacle London Fashion Week (LFW) that never fails to impress. With each passing year, this global fashion extravaganza sets the stage for designers to push boundaries, captivate audiences, and unveil the trends that will define the seasons to come. As LFW 2023 concluded recently, let's look at the top fashion highlights from the week.
Split waists
The waistline was in focus for this edition of LFW with designers coming up with newer waist styles. It seems as though low-rise hemlines or split waists will remain in style for another season. A few designers showcased low-slung pants with creative hip cut-outs, while others let the undergarments reveal with delicately layered sheer skirts and pants that managed to look elegant and feminine.
Knee-high boots
Knee-high boots are back in vogue. This adaptable look works just as well with jeans and midi skirts as it does with tiny skirts. In the LFW, boots came in all sorts of prints, patterns and colors to stand out. The designers chose colorful, printed pairs to avoid the trend of looking overly wintery during the spring and summer seasons.
Minimal makeup
The primary focus of LFW was the models' natural beauty, which shone through effortlessly. The gorgeous ladies at LFW showcased their youthful skin with subtle makeup, yet they looked breathtaking on the runway. This season celebrated the embrace of natural beauty, highlighting individuals' unique facial features and overall radiance. All runway models exuded a healthy glow, thanks to minimal makeup and well-hydrated, clean skin.
Feathered outfits
London's catwalks were buzzing with spring/summer 2024 fashion. Several models donned fuzzy jumpers, black skirts, and oversized bomber jackets that released feathers from the shoulder seams and front zips, creating the illusion of human-bird hybrids. Some sported strappy, high-heeled sandals adorned with ostrich feather plumes, while others showcased headgear featuring towering feathers and dangling beads.
Hoods up
Hoods were everywhere at LFW this September. Designers put a modern spin on hoods, introducing an embroidered touch with a white lace hood paired with matching arm warmers. Some incorporated chain necklaces to secure the hoods in position. This season also saw the trend of knitted hoods layered beneath button-down shirts, showcasing a variety of stylish approaches to this timeless accessory.
