Fashion month and its kink for trench coats Incredible, fashion returns to making clothes to be worn

It's over. Fashion week, we mean. Fashion closes Fall Winter 2023 with its feathers, its movie sets, and all its trench coats. Yes because if it's true that we started observing the looks of New York from under the comforter wrapped in our wool coats, Paris brought us the first hints of spring and we find ourselves here - under a shy sun - to draw the sums of this fashion month and all we want is a new trench coat. From street style to FW collections, from Copenhagen to Milan, everyone wants to wear it. Everyone except Burberry. The luxury fashion house presented its first runway show under new creative director Daniel Lee at London Fashion Week on Monday, February 20-and there was not a beige trench coat in sight. The only one to go against the grain while the runways of Balenciaga, Scervino, and Bottega Veneta went heavy on it by covering their shoulders in armor, the trench coat notes. Tagwalk's latest reports reflect on winter trends by bringing out how much the trench coat has taken over the fashion scene, ranging from classic styles to futuristic outerwear.

Suddenly wearability became the buzzword of the season. It started sprouting during New York Fashion Week and gained momentum in London and Milan, but in Paris-usually the temple of high-style creative-it has practically become a mantra. Part of what is driving this shift in emphasis is that clothes that aren't complicated and don't require a doctorate to understand are easier to sell. But part of the success of trench coats in this fashion month is also the very generosity that resides in this garment. Clothes that are not complicated also require less effort to wear, carry, to match, and FW 2023 2024 reminded us more than any other season-how fashion is a profession of service. Or how much more it should be.
