Didit Hediprasetyo Spring Summer 2023 Couture Collection For Paris Fashion

Didit Hediprasetyo Spring Summer 2023 Couture Collection For Paris Fashion presents In Bloom

Offering a bold vision of minimalism while rooting her fascination with nostalgia in the present, Didit Hediprasetyo presents a Couture collection for Spring Summer 2023 that pays homage to the inner divinity of every woman in all her stages of blossoming.

Flowers – such as roses, dahlias and calla lilies, among others – are at the center of this Couture collection and bloom throughout the collection in magnified digital prints on floor-skimming sheath dresses, while subtly marrying the body and curves of the wearer.

References to the Belle Époque are de facto omnipresent and enhanced with a resolutely contemporary touch: the ethereal inspiration of Man Ray’s still lifes and his distinct artistic heritage serve as the common thread of the collection and inspire the nonchalant cuts and prints, sophisticated and slender evening dresses that are as sophisticated as they are powerful.

The dress is the modern starting point for each Couture outfit in this collection ( Didit Hediprasetyo Spring Summer 2023 Couture Collection ), yet it is challenged by traditional elements, such as Songket weaving from North Sumatra, which add a touch of tailoring to the soft fluidity of the evening dresses. Florals in digital prints are particularly eye-catching when styled on a black tank dress with a white silk jersey train.

The color palette, meanwhile, is as subtle as the Belle Époque inspiration: off-white floral prints on black Couture dresses form a striking contrast while inciting a poetic dialogue. The fabrics, meanwhile, Italian velvet, silk jersey, French lace and leather add a luminous touch to cocktail dresses; a luminosity that highlights the fragile and captivating beauty of floral prints and delicate glass bead embroidery.

The message is crystal clear: while pursuing her quest to celebrate femininity through her contemporary couture designs, Didit Hediprasetyo pays homage to the vulnerability of nature, expressed through the sensual image of a fledgling rose seeking warmth and protection – like the rest of us.
