Everything new in women’s fashion this March 2023 that we’ve had our eyes — and our hearts set — on.
Gauche though it may sound, this month love is in the air! Whether you like it or not, prepare for reds, maroons and pinks to enter your ever-expanding wardrobe. Who’d have thought a couple of beads captured in a mirrored chamber would be so galvanising as to spawn enchantment among fashion designers far and wide? Our sights this month have been awed by bewitching creations, each more mesmerising than the last, where the shapes cut to marvellous precision are adorned with fractals of hypnotising prints.

Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen’s Sarah Burton summons the nightmarish spirit of Hieronymus Bosch in her spring/summer 2023 collection. We’re particularly struck by this midnight blue dress of sublime construction, on which an image of endlessly squabbling angels and demons among flowerbeds swathed in glitter pays tribute to the house’s founding genius.

Marie Laure Chamorel
Medieval armour, a timeless embodiment of courage and resolve, has occupied a sacred station in the realms of style for generations. This Marie Laure Chamorel bracelet bears a striking resemblance to the armoured attire of knights of old – but softer, with polished stones hanging from it like starlight frozen in time.
