Designers want us to know that puffer coats and slippers are here to stay
fashion week is about the designer’s vision, the mood and spirit of the brand and a conversation of how that mood will change in the seasons to come. The shows immerse buyers, press, influencers (and now, Tik Tok stars - many of whom appeared on several front row seats), in the brand’s vision, through the spectacle of a runway. For autumn/winter 2022, some designers have taken an optimistic outlook, casting off the drab loungewear of the pandemic and replacing it with glitz, glam and joie de vivre.
