old hollywood drama
First things first: we need to consider the female leads of 2023. Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis, Michelle Williams, Olivia Colman, and Ana de Armas are all being promoted for top awards, which, in turn, will dictate what we see in Los Angeles rugs. Both Blanchett and Davis are favorites of Alexander McQueen, while Colman enjoys the effortless elegance of Armani and Louis Vuitton woos De Armas. Except for Davis, a dedicated colorist, the group’s MO reads classical, rather than experimental. “I think we’ll see a return to old-school Hollywood: clean lines, structured, fitted silhouettes, and moments of timeless tailoring,” says Zadrian Smith, who, along with partner Sarah Edmiston, dressed House’s biggest stars. of the Dragon in 2022. and The Rings of Power.
That’s not to say the 2023 awards season will be boring. These brands are at the top of their game in terms of craftsmanship. KJ Moody, who dresses Beyoncé, believes it will be the “year of couture”, with creative directors injecting “breathtaking beauty” back into red carpet wear. While Moody points to Balmain, Schiaparelli and Mugler as the ones to watch, Edmiston’s money is on Valentino’s award-winning season, thanks to Pierpaolo Piccioli’s fantastic house vision and unapologetic bold color palette. .
fantastic color
“Colour-wise, we expect a shift from pink to blue in 2023,” say Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, the double act behind Jodie Turner-Smith’s jaunty wardrobe. “We specifically expect a lot of cobalt blue from brands like Jason Wu and David Koma.” Edmiston also thinks the “dopamine dressing room” is still on the agenda, as stars lean toward mood-boosting glitters, playful silhouettes, and embellishments as an antidote to the pandemic/permacrisis/general catastrophe yet to come. populates the news cycle.
Big brand agreements against free thinkers
Big-name brands will always have their moment in the sun, but as fashion strives to level the playing field in terms of representation, it’s important for Hollywood to spotlight emerging talent. “We can’t predict which brands will dominate the space, but we’d love to see more designers of color stand out,” Wayman + Micah say, adding that Davis, who previously championed Greta Constantine and Lavie by CK, gives lesser-known creatives hoping to see your work on the main stage.
Broadening Hollywood’s horizons also plays into the desire for originality among celebrity dressers, who must, of course, adhere to their clients’ brand contractual obligations. “We’d love to see the red carpet dictated less by trends and more by the individuality of each star,” Smith opines, adding Wayman + Micah, “More people breaking the mold and serving up the unexpected in 2023!”
competitive filing
“As it’s increasingly important to think about our planet and people, we’d love to see more designer archival pieces on the red carpet,” says Smith. But wearing a spring/summer 2018 look is not enough to make an impact. Vintage hawks like Shrimpton Couture’s Cherie Balch begin the “exhausting, exhilarating and maddening” process of sourcing rare gems eons before the Golden Globes roll around because, she says, “finding countless couture gowns isn’t as easy as may seem.” Fashion production wasn’t as prolific in the 1950s and 1960s as it is today, so, let’s say, tricking out an exquisite Lacroix gown requires a lot of brains and patience. The celebs spotted in Golden Age gear this year will have done their homework and put their credit cards behind these bits of fashion history (think: Zendaya and the Kardashian-Jenners, who are working on creating personal archives ).
Less bodycon, more boudoir
“People are working hard to get fit and they will show it,” Moody says in a statement apparently at odds with the rest of the world who indulged in a Lindt diet over the holidays. Wayman + Micah agree that sheer dressing is only now enjoying its heyday. “We expect to see an increase in lingerie and boudoir-style pieces from the likes of Prada, Louis Vuitton and Versace,” they say, while “anticipating less structured pieces to continue the trend of freedom we’re seeing in fashion. . It feels safe to say that we won’t be expecting as many tight moments on the carpet this season.”
If you’ve already reached the pinnacle of nude dressing, Edmiston has an alternative to the abundance of bottoms we’re about to see on display. “It’s very likely that we’ll see a resurgence of the layering trend, as we’ve seen so many beautiful layering details incorporated into spring/summer 2023 eveningwear from the likes of Valentino, Richard Quinn and Roksanda.” Layers vs. Chiffon: We know which side we’re rooting for.
