Shame might be the most luxurious accessory one can carry.” I wanted to create a moment of embarrassment and shame to see if it can coexist with, or even generate luxury. It’s a way of showing authenticity and strength. Right now, I feel the coolest attitude is exposing your vulnerability, carrying it as an accessory. In 2023 luxury can be worn out Balenciaga sneakers, expensive track suits or upcycled ragged coats. Luxury today is being redefined, to me it’s more of an attitude. The designer continued, “Old legacy houses defined luxury as a lifestyle of elegance, high quality and seriousness.

Merging “luxurious” streetwear silhouettes like oversized tracksuits and outerwear with refined, pin-striped dresses and cut-outs, the collection itself aimed to fuse femininity with slouch, for a cozy-yet-chaotic commentary on contemporary luxury. I asked myself what is the most embarrassing thing that can happen to a fashion house and I figured garments breaking might be it,” Karlsson explained in a press release. I’m still on that theme, there’s something very interesting about shame and what happens when we are vulnerable. “I’ve been asking myself why is luxury so serious? Is it because we strive to be perfect? Could bad quality still be luxurious? The last collection was all about keeping up a fake projection of wealth and the personal failure of losing face when this illusion crashes. Dubbed “Fake it till you break it,” the collection explored the concept of shame in the context of quality and craftsmanship, and the subsequent vulnerability surrounding it. For Spring/Summer 2023, the brand’s showcase saw models falling over themselves on the runway, in a bid to comment on the “superficiality of fashion.” For Fall/Winter 2023, creative director Beate Karlsson explored yet another facet of the luxury fashion industry: its often serious facade.Įxploring the rules of luxury and playing with the idea of what happens when they’re broken, Karlsson’s FW23 saw models’ clothing intentionally ripped off them as they walked, encouraging viewers to interrogate their own perceptions of luxury.
