Fashion brand KOCHÉ presented their Spring Summer 2023 Collection, with a show held on September 27th at Palais Brongniart, during the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. For the collection, designer Christelle Kocher wanted a majestic place with spectacular architecture to present her collection inspired by technology, questioning both the heritage and the future of fashion. For this show, Christelle conducted a joint research project with Google ATAP, combining science and creativity to develop hybrid clothes and a unique show experience.
SPRING SUMMER 2023 COLLECTIONS
This collection was a chance for me to think about the future of clothing. Technology and Fashion can push boundaries, but it will make sense only if this mix allows people to express their uniqueness and who they really are. – Christelle Kocher
The SS23 collection is clearly inspired by the digital. The Designer offers, for example, perforated leather that recalls pixelated aesthetic of the early video games. The clothes are also energized by bands and fringes with cyber punk accents. The colour palette is light, vivid and fresh like screen colors. True to KOCHÉ’s DNA, this season again, the collection blends Couture inspiration with contemporary culture elements. The denim offer, for instance, is particularly elevated. As always, the collection carries a strong message. The elevated construction of the garments (structured shoulders, hotfix…) shows that clothing inspired by technology can create a rare and new elegance, expressing even more individuality and character. – from KOCHÉ
