London Fashion Week SS23: Browns, Harrods, Moda Operandi, MyTheresa and Net-a-Porter's verdict London Fashion Week SS23: fresh talent, skin-baring looks and Machine-A founder's verdict London Fashion Week: micro-minis, creative corsetry, and Queen-tributes dominate Manel Torres invented the liquid fibre Fabrican, which dries on impact with any surface, including liquids, in 2013, and personally applied the technology to Hadid. She was the star of the Coperni show on Friday 30 September, where she stood on the catwalk while a dress was sprayed directly on to her. Bella also took to the catwalk for designers including Vivienne Westwood and Courr èges. Both sisters walked for Victoria Beckham’s first show in the French capital, Givenchy, Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant. Model sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid took Paris by storm this season. Kim Jones's collection for Louis Vuitton included comically oversized details such as zips, belt buckles and pockets. Monochrome looks took over the Chanel catwalk (main image above), where creative director Virginie Viard updated the house's classic bouclé twinsets with knee-length shorts and hotpants. Heavyweights Chanel and Louis Vuitton closed Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. The mood was modern at Saint Laurent, where models took to the catwalk in billowing overcoats, and sleek, asymmetric dresses in purple and olive tones. At Dior, creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri showed an intricate collection, underlined by delicate black and white lace and broderie anglaise.

The French luxury labels were out in full force. The spring/summer 23 season brought two notable firsts: Victoria Beckham's debut in the French capital was watched over by the Beckham brood, and it was Off-White's first season with under new art and image director Ib Kamara, who took the helm in May this year, following the death of founder Virgil Abloh in November 2021.

Paris Fashion Week ran for a bumper nine days between 26 September to 4 October.
