Paris Fashion Week F/W 2023: Where Did I Get That
Last but not least… Paris Fashion Week! After witnessing an amazing scene with unparalleled energy in New York (read what I wore for NYFW here!) and Milan (read what I wore for MFW here!), I flew to Paris. Paris Fashion Week felt bigger and busier than ever with a jam-packed schedule featuring a healthy mix of storied French houses and younger, independent labels. I kept wearing different hairstyles to suit the vibe of my outfits and you guys seemed to love it! Below I spill the tea on some of the best looks I wore for PFW.
Orange Accents
I am living for the duo: grey and orange. It looks like the smartest combo ever, doesn’t it? Besides, these tailored asymmetric pants are giving the kind of girl boss energy I like. The bag is Borbonese and you can find it here (there’s also a baguette version!). I am also wearing the Lumi Bomber by The Frankie Shop in Olive Green (unfortunately sold out) and Hogan’s Olympia-Z sneakers.
All about the coat
Layering is my favorite way to put an outfit together and topping off a look with statement coats is just *chef’s kiss*. It’s *the* finishing touch to any outfit, and you know I’m someone who doesn’t shy away from color, patterns or prints. I thought this coat was particularly show-stopping! It’s from Psychedelic Overdose. The sunglasses by Balmain gave the look the unexpected sporty twist it needed (last pair, make it yours!)!
The 70s show
From casual to glam, light or dark, purple is having a moment. And bold metallics are by far one of the most exciting trends I’m embracing this year. Purple and gold: a match made in heaven. The dress is by swiss fashion house Akris from their SS23 collection, paired with the Trapezoid belt and my metallic Jimmy Choo boots which are now on sale. Couldn’t find the exact same dress but I found this one and this one and the same color.
But Make It Edgy
Call it Barbiecore or whatever you like, but hot pink is giving dream world. This Ruffle Dress by Az Factory is a powerful, sexy silhouette, with removable shoulder pads and an asymmetric ruffle with a peek-a-boo cut-out at the hip. I paired it with my PS over-the-knee boots and Balmain sunnies for edge.
Bringing Sexy Back
It’s not a dress. It’s a PatBO dress. Words cannot describe how powerful I felt wearing this jewel toned number. You can find more fringes by Brazilian designer Patricia Bonaldi here, here and here.
Peekaboo
For this look, I layered my incredible laser-cut circle skirt by A.W.A.K.E. Mode (US2 available here) over a pleated color-block skirt by Christopher John Rogers (still available in orange). It was the green peeking out under all the black that did the trick! It was such a dynamic and contemporary look. This skirt by A.W.A.K.E. Mode makes a disruptive addition to your closet! Showcasing a sensual design defined by intricate laser-cut circles layered next to and atop one another, it allows flashes of skin to show through, making for the ideal piece to create a flirtatious, statement-worthy ensemble. One of my favorite looks of the season, I must say.
