The early spring collection is always dedicated to the fortunate ones about to embark on vacation. However, in the 2023 early spring collections, many designers have toned down the narrative about getaway and shifted their focus to romanticism. Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Valentino, and Balenciaga have all offered their definitions of romanticism: it can be a fusion of heroism and feminism, a reenactment of past splendor and extravagance; it can also abandon intricate aesthetics and return directly to purity and minimalism. Of course, the commonality between romanticism and fashion is also evident — fashion can be provocative, bold, and controversial, but it must distance itself from boredom.
