With the most exclusive fashion shows, we have welcomed 2023. This quote from Haute Couture, which is held twice a year in Paris, is presented just before each season. Because? Because their proposals do not require long production times, unlike the ready-to-wear.
In this post we will talk about those collections that have caught our attention the most. In the same way, we will comment on some curiosities that we believe you should know about this great fashion event in which some thirty houses show their most exceptional creations. In our opinion, it is a formidable exhibition of craftsmanship that also, why not recognize it, contributes to the international reputation of each of the firms.
For four days in Paris, haute couture gathers to delight us with the new collections of the best designers. Each piece is unique and in them we discover the key trends that will be adopted in the next spring-summer 2023 season. An event that we love and which is attended by the most popular faces from the world of entertainment, social networks, arts and culture. Among others, Chiara Ferragni, Kylie Jenner, Diane Kruger, Rossy de Palma and Carla Bruni. Who wouldn't like to be surrounded by so many stars?
Vibrate, Ville Lumiere, It's the haute couture show
Considered by many to be the most beautiful city in the world and which, at the beginning of the XNUMXth century, received the nickname of City of Light (City of Lights), has vibrated to the rhythm of elegance, daring and energy with designs as spectacular as those of Schiaparelli which, to everyone's surprise, has dressed its models in synthetic garments finished in the heads of lions, tigers or black panthers.
But it was not only Schiaparelli who once again left everyone speechless. Christian Dior, Rahul Mishra, Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Elie Saab or George Hobeika are some of the many others who have dazzled us with their designs. In our jewelry, for example, we never stop talking about Chanel garments, whose undisputed star has been the dress, with a rounded neckline, halter neck, with transparencies, minimalist touches... and in subtle colors, ranging from black to beige. cream.
By the way, something that we have not overlooked is that the French firm, in addition to having reinvented short sleeves, has chosen to embed a crystal corgi on the front of tweed suits, as well as embroidering small animals on cuffs or jackets. Yes, you are thinking the same as us, this Haute Couture appointment seems to have made a true apology for the animal world.

Parades and fashions that pay tribute
We also want to talk to you about other of our favorite collections at this event, that of Dior, a firm that on this occasion, surprise!, did not give prominence to the waist, but to the shoulders. The brand opted for a show inspired by the American dancer, singer and actress Josephine Baker, the first black woman to star in a movie, a true icon of the 20s, as well as other great African-American pioneers.
What better way to honor these women who were a milestone in history, who broke many barriers in our society? For it, Dior focused its show on the roaring 20s, a time that we love, by the way. We could see dresses with fringes, golden sparkles and geometric motifs, as well as draping and pleating. A style that, possibly just like you, has left us spellbound.
And what to say of Giorgio Armani. His collection is truly amazing. With pieces of colorful rhombuses and a wide variety of fabrics in long skirts, flowing pants or dresses, he wanted to evoke the Italian theater of the XNUMXth century and the typical male character of the commedia dell'arte that centered the attention of that show, the mocking harlequin.
Another detail that we do not want to overlook from this Haute Couture week in Paris, do you like shoulder pads? Well, the maxi have been another of the great protagonists of this event. On this occasion by the hand of Alexandre Vauthier, which offered a whole parade of structured XL silhouettes with lots of drama and sequins.
Special mention with Spanish air in parades
We do not want to finish this post without talking about our most international Spanish in this haute couture show: Juana Martin, who once again made history. We are very happy and we take our hat off to this Cordovan designer, who we have been keeping an eye on for some time.
This time, the creator has returned to this catwalk with her collection Orígins, inspired by the cliffs of Nerja and with a somewhat flamenco air. In addition, she has had a very special collaboration, that of Christian Laboutin. In an interview in the magazine Hello!, Juana Martín revealed that it was Laboutin who looked for her, since, according to what she said, the designer loved his creations.
En Origins, Juana Martín showed her roots with a work that overflowed with creativity, full of ruffles, polka dots and blue tones that evoked the sea on the Malaga coast, where the designer spent her summers. So how can you not be proud of this Andalusian? In addition to officially parading for the second consecutive year in this world fashion showcase, she has already linked her name to that of other designers from our country such as Josep Font, Paco Rabanne or Balenciaga. Bravo!
