EXCERPT: "COURRÈGES. FALL 2023 - PARIS FASHION WEEK"

 

"...The Fall 2023 collection has further lifted the benchmark,  with the collection more direct and straightforward in its array, utilizing smoke machines, with the opening models walking the runaway staring at their cellphones in a obsessive and mechanical way.   Di Felic has structured the showpiece as a ferment impression to the self absorbed, morphing it into a spiritual perspective towards the closing of the show.  Offering styles that range from modernist to Avant-garde, in a rework of Courrèges's space age inspired looks of yesteryear; mini skirts, vinyl and leather jackets.  Mixed with sheer and amatory styles, the sex appeal, as seen with past Courrèges shows, is evident throughout the collection.   Yet, overall the humanist spiritual slant can be seen, with a mirrored circle sitting middle of the models chests, to which Di Felice decreed in his commentary for his recent collection, the importance of the circle in spiritual mythology.  That it is of a completeness and acknowledgment of the void.  The unknown.  There is no beginning and no end.  The mirror reflecting light, which is the spirit that once we pass, travels for eternity throughout the cosmos."
