New York fashion week, American style yesterday and today

mhip now very little to the return of the New York Fashion Week. The US stylists warm up their engines to present, once again, their version of the American dream: a wardrobe marked by recognizable, iconic and effortless pieces. But let’s bet that the next Spring-Summer 2024 fashion shows in the Big Apple will also feature the so-called american: those eccentric and swashbuckling twists that only Made in the USA fashion can give us.

Some, on the other hand, have made the history of fashion. And with the rich calendar that lies ahead, with 71 brands for 6 days of physical and online events, we are sure that we will see beautiful ones, thanks to the great return of the big come Ralph Lauren and the new course of Helmut Lang with the creative direction of the young Vietnamese naturalized American Peter Do.

Fashion and New York, an indissoluble combination

Popularized by stars, copied around the globe, they are still the protagonists of Autumn-Winter 2023/2024 catwalks. And yes, we will also see them for next season, because if one thing is certain, America never lets go.

The must-haves for Fall-Winter 2023/2024 born in America

And then, the must-haves of the moment who have one long history of stars and stripes. The big coming back of the camperos at the Fall-Winter 2023/2024 fashion shows, on TikTok with the aesthetic Coastal Cowgirleven in the Americana par excellence, barbie the movie (2023): The origin of the trend dates back to 1923, when Texan women wore cowboy boots during the celebration of the 75th year since the founding of the city of Fort Worth. The rise? Merit of the American actress Dale Evans, who sported them on set in the 1950s. And today they appear at the feet of all fashionistas, on and off the catwalk.

From baseball cap to slip dress

Just think of the return to the scene of the simple and recognizable baseballthe favorite accessory, of the century, by John Kennedy Jr. An increasingly popular piece not only on catwalks, but also in street style, both for men and women.

As evening falls, the quintessential American dress, still very modern today, is slip dress. King of the Roaring Twenties, an inevitable piece of the wardrobe of the US stars of the Nineties, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Jennifer Aniston – and often signed Calvin Kleinthe designer from the Bronx who deserves credit for his global success – it’s the dress that all US It Girls are wearing now, from Kendall Jenner to Hailey Bieber.
