The top 10 fashion shows and the top 5 presentations of the spring 2023 collections
Serena! Expensive! Bella Hadid gets a dress tattooed on her naked body!
Spring 2023 runway shows and presentations took the fashion pack from a drive-in theater rain in Brooklyn to a London in royal mourning and many twins in Milan before concluding in Paris with the Eiffel Tower at Saint Laurent and Christian Louboutin and Kanye West's controversial Yeezy show.
It was indeed a wild season, but also a high-octane one, with so many dazzling spectacles — and clothes — in each city it was difficult to choose your favorites.
But WWD did. Criteria included showmanship, emotional impact, originality, clarity of vision and purpose, relevance, collection execution, and overall awesomeness.

Top 10 shows
10. Coperni
Ahead of their Spring 2023 show, Coperni designers and married couple Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer said to WWD, "It's a tribute to women in general, and to the evolution of morphology and the body through the centuries."
"Technology and fashion have always been difficult bedfellows, but if anyone can making science sexy, so it was Coperni designers, who partnered with Manel Torres, the inventor of Spray-on fabric, for the performance,” WWD's Joelle Diderich wrote of the closing performance of the brand show featuring a nearly nude Bella Hadid in "the world's first live-action spray-on dress."
"Beyond the wow factor of watching Hadid parade down the runway in her snap dress, the show raised all kinds of fascinating questions about how technology is going to change the way we dress not just in the virtual world, but IRL,” Diderich added.
9. Fendi 25th Anniversary Baguette Collection
"Fendi is one of many European brands powering New York Fashion Week this season, staging a large-scale fashion show and apparel collection in a crowded Hammerstein ballroom on Friday night to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the iconic Baguette bag, introduced in 1997,” WWD's Booth Moore wrote of the spectacular Fendi show at New York.
"To foster an 'uptown-downtown New York vibe', Jones exploited his lifelong fashion hero and former Louis Vuitton boss Marc Jacobs," Moore wrote, adding that the duo came together to design tribute looks, complete with collaboration Baguettes with iconic New York jeweler Tiffany & Co. in Tiffany blue with silver charms and handmade solid sterling silver "looking like a jewel itself, for the ultimate collector's item.”
