Gothic trend For Spring-Summer 2023

Rock, gothic and glamor with a hint of marriage. This is how the spirit of Versace’s spring-summer 2023 show could be defined. As usual, Donatella Versace offers an ultra marked universe where sensuality is the key word. Decryption.

Dark is sensual at Versace! For its spring-summer 2023 show, the Italian brand darkens its universe and unveils a collection with gothic and rock accents. Without departing from its characteristic sexy. Pieces sublimated by the surprise appearances of prominent personalities.

– The 2000s in their glamorous version

Versace thinks big and offers from the opening of the show a fashion moment that we are not ready to forget. The light turns on and four models in black body con and cut out dresses appear. They pose in a glass and metal box illuminated by small yellow lights.

The first to start is none other than Gigi Hadid. Her dress with integrated hood is undoubtedly a nod to the mythical outfit worn by Kylie Minogue in her Can’t Get You Out of My Head clip.

In the 2023 version, it becomes a long, tight-fitting, asymmetrical dress with cut-out details. A look right in the 2000s trend. But on this piece, the draped plunging neckline is not present. On the other hand, it embellishes other dresses and tops in the collection to revive the style of the iconic singer more than ever.

And the Y2K revival doesn’t stop there. On the pants side, the cargo with multiple pockets is indeed present. It is associated with the long open tops in the style of light jackets characteristic of this period.

Playing with transparency, they are adorned with flashy patterns of flowers or zebra stripes. The flare jeans, on the other hand, imagine themselves to be low waisted and very tight. With a long dress slit over it, he revives the controversial flagship combo. Exuberance obliges, the faux fur coats with maxi hairs and flashy colors bring the final touch to the looks.

– A neo-rocker look

Leather is clearly one of the signatures of the Versace house. And it dresses ultra rock ensembles for this collection. A piece that is making a comeback on the catwalk, the tight black pants. It manifests itself low-waisted, come back to the 2000s, and flare.

Ideal for riding your motorcycle without constraint. And Versace wouldn’t be Versace without its just the right amount of sexy. The rocker in 2023 thus adopts the micro skirt trend. This one is embellished with zippers and a logo belt for an extra touch of style. This piece goes well with the timeless blazer but also with biker and perfecto jackets, icons of the genre. They open to reveal bustier-style leather crop tops.

Another timeless rock style, the zebra pattern. It forgets here the white to adopt the glamorous purple and pink. Bodycon or flowy dress, pants, it ups the fashion quotient of any room.

And since it’s the details that make the difference, the rebellious woman worthy of the name cannot do without fringe. The emblematic fringed jacket, halfway between the rocker and the cowgirl, is necessarily present. Bold, these wide bands give a twist to tight-fitting pants, but also a dress and top in an almost integral version. Sexy openwork look to boot!

How to adopt the Gothic trend with style?

To adopt the trend without making any fashion faux pas, it is better to bet on strong and representative pieces. The right options? The long coat, black, in fake leather, trench style, which alone is enough to give a very ‘in’ gothic look.

You can also opt for a coat in a short version, a little less ‘Matrix’, but also very fashionable on condition of associating it with black clothes!

Another piece to shop? Leather and whatever the garment, whether coat, pants, corset or short or long dress; worn in total look the leather is even more goth! We also dare to wear black lace, for a half black widow, half femme fatale look, in an evening dress version or in small touches, worn under a corset for example… Black patent boots are also right on trend gothic, whether heeled or flat!
