Fall 2022 Couture Trend: Pure Sensuality
On the Paris couture shows in July, designers showed levity through a myriad of sheer fashions, which proved to be a strong trend throughout the fall 2022 couture collections The sheer trend, which was also spotted on the fall ready-to-wear runways, created an elevated, sultry and ethereal vibe with sheer couture styles.
For example, at Iris Van Herpen, the designer launched gravity-defying sheer designs on the catwalk to celebrate the brand's 15th anniversary. The robes “stood somewhere between the wings of insects and carnivorous plants. Some looked like snowflakes on steroids; other deep sea creatures growing delicate tendrils. Many of them had a silver sheen to them, adding to their alien allure,” WWD's Miles Socha wrote.
During the Valentino show in the Spanish Steps, "lightness and volume were the main attributes of the range," wrote WWD's Luisa Zargani, adding that Pierpaolo Piccoioli's lightweight dresses floated in the evening breeze . Piccioli's couture designs amplified the trend with a range of "wonderful and dreamy" mini dresses, blouses and sheer dresses, as in a sheer citric green number. Dior's Maria Grazia Chiuri also showcased sheer, fluid styles during the brand's couture show, while Aelis' collection featured "light-as-air tulle creations".
Brands such as Giambattista Valli, Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad and Rahul Misha continue to elevate the trend with rich embroideries, ranging from bold floral appliqués to sparkling embroideries. The same effect was spotted on the Fendi catwalk, where Kim Jones debuted modern, sheer and delicate fishnet tube dresses, “glittering with crystals,” Socha wrote.
Here, WWD breaks down the sultry and sheer trend for the Fall 2022 couture season.
