The fashion research platform Tagwalk has just published the year’s summary in figures. Inspirations, accessories, colors… 2023 has some surprises in store for fashionistas.
Fuchsia? Red ? YELLOW ? 2023 is drawing to a close and it is time to take stock. The search engine Tagwalklaunched in 2016 by Frenchwoman Alexandra van Houtte, revealed its annual trend report. It details all the fashion gimmicks that have inspired fashionistas over the last twelve months. And the numbers are sometimes surprising. Thus, the color most present in the creators’ collections was neither the beige dear to quiet luxurynor the pink of Barbie, but well black, which colored 39% of the 40,484 looks referenced on the platform this year. A guaranteed zero-risk shade, in line with aesthetics 90’s gothic which greatly inspired designers. However, the most developed theme on the podium had nothing to do with the final decade of the 20thth century. It is the “bourgeois” look that has been most exploited by creatives. The trench coat, the midi skirt, the suit… So many pieces endlessly reinterpreted by Vaillant, CelineAcne Studios or even Gucci.
Bye bye sneakers, mini it bags and big logos
To make room for new trends, certain hits from past seasons have gradually been erased. No big logos on the muffled silhouette of Siobhan Royheroine of the series Succession and reluctant figurehead of the famous “discreet luxury”. No graphic sneakers in his wardrobe either. The keyword “sneakers” accused a drop of 36% on Tagwalk in 2023. It must be said that we had to make a little room for ballerinas, moccasins and kitten heels, which have tiptoed back into fashionistas’ wardrobes. All that remains is to celebrate the return of maxi handbagslike the model Icarus by Saint Laurent, a quilted leather tote on which the brand’s cassando tree proudly blossoms. An it bag that has eclipsed the micro accessories that have been swinging from the arms of fashionistas for a while. In 2024, more is more. Spread the message.
