The metaverse, artificial intelligence and digital solutions are currently dominating the headlines in the fashion world. But when it comes to color, designers still use reality and look to nature. Interest in classic tailoring is also very popular for autumn/winter 2023. While red set the tone on many catwalks, other designers made a statement in bright green. Other creatives ventured into neutral territory with minimalist beige and gray tones.
