The lights dim, the sound of revving motorbikes fills the air, and the stage is set for a journey into the Cyber Western World of Philipp Plein. The Fall Winter 23 Collection transcends the traditional fashion show; it unfolds as a cinematic experience, where cowboys and cowgirls ride the catwalk, evoking the spirit of a contemporary western movie brought vividly to life.
As the models strut down the runway, it's clear that this is no ordinary western world. Philipp Plein has infused it with chrome, colors, and prints that seamlessly blend into a punk rock key. The collection, consisting of 80 looks for both men and women, is a tribute to Plein's trademark aesthetic—a celebration of maximalism and energy.
Un homme et une femme
The Philipp Plein man, a rock cowboy straight out of a cyberpunk reimagination. It's where Texas meets Los Angeles, and tailored denim meets chromatic florals, studs, and crystals. The accessories, in gold and iridescent silver mix, include softly sparkling boots, maxi bags, and eyewear crafted under license from De Rigo. Each outfit is a statement, a nod to the rebellious spirit that defines Philipp Plein.
The Philipp Plein woman, a sensual and daring cowgirl, struts in tailored denim mini-skirts, animalier bomber jackets in leopard print, and floral prints in shades of purple. Fringed jumpsuits and leather jackets add an extra layer of flair. The silver boots are a must-have, complementing long lame tweed dresses that elegantly round off the collection. Philipp Plein's take on the Wild West is not just a fashion statement; it's a lifestyle choice for those who love to be wild and free.
The inspiration
Philipp Plein himself found inspiration for this collection on a road trip across the US, merging the western vibe with a punk rock interpretation. In his words, "I wanted to create a collection that was synonymous with maximalism, energy, and full of hyper feminine elevated details! It’s my way to celebrate AW23, crafting a selection of looks for people who love to be wild and free!"
