New trends from the runway

Fashion Editor Sahil Harilal travelled to Milan for the annual MICAM Milano footwear exhibition and came back with five of the best fashion trends for 2023

ORGANIC PASTELS

Whether mint, sea foam or green tea, we’re set to embrace softer, more delicate hues as pastels take inspiration from the natural world.

NEON

Not for the fainthearted, neon in all its blazing, manufactured glory remerges as one of the dominant trends this year.

VALENTINO PINK

Made famous by Valentino, this saccharine shade of pink bursts with optimism and effervescence. Best worn in its entirety for total tonal indulgence.

EMBROIDERY

Taking inspiration from couture houses, we can expect beadwork that is intricate and delicate or heavy and imposing to elevate and give a luxe feel to clothing and accessories.

METALLICS

Hot on the heels of 2022’s heavy metal trend, metallics are bolder than ever. We love them worn head to toe in an unashamed show of brilliance.
