As New York Fashion Week comes to a close on Wednesday, fashion enthusiasts are closely analyzing each runway show and new collection from the designers who showcased their work for Spring/Summer 2023. Here are some of the standout moments of NYFW:
During a Monday show in the Plaza Hotel ballroom, "Carolina Herrera breathed spring back to life," wrote The Associated Press. Designer Wes Gordon, who took over the brand in 2018, explained that the show was inspired by one of his favorite childhood novels, "The Secret Garden," by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
The designs included a variety of floral patterns with "lots of different scales and colorways," Gordon noted, as he "view[ed] this collection as a garden."
