September can only mean one thing – our biannual Style Special, where we present our highlights of the A/W23 fashion collections. Autumn/Winter 2023 is all about reinvention, clarity and high design, says fashion director Jason Hughes, who highlights the sharp shoulder lines of Saint Laurent’s women’s tailoring, the exaggerated collars of Prada, and the Loewe dress which, with the idea of reduction, is almost a memory of a dress, in a nod to Gerhard Richter.
We round up the season’s defining looks in The Glossary, while our main womenswear and menswear shoots are both big and dramatic – huge sweeping silhouettes, with a play on materials and textures such as faux fur and leather.
