A sense of Dayglow.

If one category represents the season's drive for celebration it is the evening and ceremony section of collections. The glitz and glam of SS23 enables designers to delve into the entire repertoire of party-ready garments and to create sophisticated and fun styles for upcoming summer festivities. The youthful mini silhouette is essential, while midi shapes are adding more elegant tones. In terms of silhouettes, body-conscious pieces are the most relevant, especially with a client that strives for body-liberation and for showcasing proud femininity in full force. The evening category seems more glamorous than ever. New occasion highlights include silkies sets and wrap dresses, minis with sequins or feather trims, details like the criss cross neckline or feminine side-seam gathers. The currently trending more daring cut-outs have summoned commercial potential by now and remain a fashion-forward must-have. Bohemian dresses are given an update in serene whites for a more occasion-wear feel. Blazer-dresses are carefully reworked with wrap-elements, drapes or extravagant trims and take the piece to a more extravagant level. The entire occasion category resonates a sense of fun and excitement that creates a powerful energy for the next season. As categories are blending and RTW is looking especially dressy in 2023, occasion-styles can fuse into daywear ranges as well. Evening looks experience higher popularity than before and might be combined with surprising daywear styles for surprising looks.
