With fashion month officially starting on February 10 with New York Fashion Week, these are all the most-anticipated shows
We know the mind-blowing shows at Haute Couture Week 2023—from Haider Ackerman’s couture debut for Jean Paul Gaultier to the grand finale by Asian designer Robert Wun—feel as if they happened only yesterday, but the autumn-winter 2023 fashion month is almost here and there’s so much to look forward to, from designer debuts to potential viral moments.

This Friday (February 10), New York Fashion Week kicks off the new season with California-based brand Rodarte. Celebrities, buyers, influencers and editors will then fly across the pond for London Fashion Week starting on February 17. The five-day fashion feast will feature a host of rising British designers as well as iconic maisons such as Burberry. Then, Milan Fashion Week runs from February 21 to 27 featuring the likes of Prada, Valentino and Tod’s. Up next is Paris Fashion Week from February 28 to March 7, which among other highlights will mark Y/Project’s return to the womenswear calendar. With so much going on, here are some of the things we’re most excited about.
Grand entry
As usual, all eyes will be on the season’s debut collections, with Daniel Lee’s first collection for Burberry being perhaps the most anticipated one. The famous 36-year-old British designer left Bottega Veneta in November 2021 and has been appointed as the chief creative officer of Burberry since last September, taking over from former chief designer Riccardo Tisci. The Burberry show at London Fashion Week, scheduled on February 20, will be a new dawn for the British heritage brand and the industry is eagerly waiting to see if Lee can deliver a cutting-edge vision again. We have also noticed that the brand has wiped clean its Instagram page for this new chapter, similar to Lee’s approach to social media during his Bottega Veneta days.
