Fashion Week happens twice a year in cities around the world but only four are known as ‘The Big Four,’ in chronological order they are: New York, London, Milan and Paris.
As the industry makes its way to Milan, we take a look at 10 of the hottest trends to come down the New York and London runways.
From fun statement sleeves to cool-girl suiting and big beautiful hair, we have a lot to look forward to come spring.

Exaggerated sleeves were all the rage on multiple designer catwalks, and the statement-making design detail was not reserved for just tops. We saw roomy sleeves on jackets at Simone Rocha and dresses with arms that almost touched the floor at Proenza Schouler.

Crochet designs coming down the spring 23 catwalks are nothing like your grandmother’s collection of throw pillows with a square-plaited pattern
Crochet designs coming down the spring 23 catwalks are nothing like your grandmother’s handmade collection of throw pillows with square-plaited patterns. Instead, the time-honored technique was used to design chic casual separates at Proenza Schouler and Gabriela Hearst, while Raisa Vanessa added metallic threads to create crochet formalwear.
Gigi Hadid and other models rocked big voluminous manes at Tom Ford, making sleek straight hair look so boring
Curls are back in a big way! Gigi Hadid and other models strutted their stuff down the Tom Ford runway rocking voluminous manes. Designer approval of 3D curls comes at a perfect time as women are embracing their texture more now than ever. From natural to tight curls, crimped strands and loose waves, save your money on blowouts – easy hair is in!
Denim never goes out of style but just when we thought we’ve seen it all in blue jeans, designer brands like alice + olivia wow us with something new and exciting
Denim never goes out of style but just when we thought we’ve seen it all, Prabal Gurung, PatBO and alice + olivia wow us with of-the-moment creations featuring the durable fabric. A model walked the Prabal catwalk in an off-the-shoulder corset top paired with a high-low skirt, all made of denim; while models at alice + olivia and PatBO were decked in bedazzled denim.

Suiting for spring 23 has redefined the menswear trend once again with hyper feminine accents that include cutouts, sparkle and chic shapes. Prabal Gurung delivered sexy suits that exposed midriffs (and then some!) while Badgley Mischka took the traditional pantsuit into evening with formal sequins.
All things oversized and asymmetrical were the perfect complement to the pared back fashions at Tory Burch
Statement jewelry made a strong showing for spring 23. All things oversized and asymmetrical were the perfect complement to the pared back fashions at Tory Burch. Clean lines and understated silhouettes allowed fun accessories (as seen on Emily Ratajkowski) to take center stage.
Models walked the runways of Prabal Gurung and Richard Quinn during New York and London Fashion Week (respectively) in latex tights, proving the fabric is not reserved for performance pieces or Kim Kardashian.

Itty-bitty tops in the form of corsets and bras that have traditionally been kept hidden under clothes or reserved for behind closed doors are taking the place of traditional shirts on the streets in 2023
Bikini tops worn with blazers or alone have also become tres chic
Unconventional tops in the form of corsets (as seen at Erdem) and bras (as seen at Tory Burch) that have traditionally been kept hidden under clothes or reserved for behind closed doors are taking the place of traditional shirts in 2023. New York-based brand Cucculelli Shaheen made a case for spring bikinis as formalwear, while Laquan Smith’s ab-baring bra tops paired with matching pants and jackets give new meaning to power dressing.
