Fashion Commentary That Bites: Dal Chodha on the S/S 23 Highs, Lows and Murky Waters

published on 13 October 2022

In an honest and defyingly frank review of the S/S 23 womenswear season, writer and educator Dal Chodha breaks down the moments which got fashion talking.

From the debut of Maximilian Davis at Salvatore Ferragamo, Kim Kardashian's Dolce & Gabbanna 'curation', falling models at Valentino, to Bella Hadid's spray-on dress at Coperni, Chodha leaves no stone unturned.

Refusing to shy away from the industry's troubled waters, this video dives into the rigidity of the traditional runway show format and the murky business of preaching female empowerment while styling models to look feeble. Do young designers mean a younger consumer, or should we have more faith in their skills to helm global heritage brands? Plus delicious teenage angst at Chopova Lowena, the joy of expensive craft at Bottega Veneta and the meaning of mud at Balenciaga.
