Do you know how many collection images Vogue Runway posts each year?
The answer is simply “too many to count,” and while I had hoped to at least tell you the amount of detail shots we published this year for the purpose of this story, I lost count somewhere nearing four digits. What I was able to do is curate the best, funnest, kookiest, and most compelling runway detail images of 2023. Remember the banana leaf trompe l’oeil footwear at Matthieu Blazy’s spring 2024 show for Bottega Veneta? Or how about Jonathan Anderson’s clay hoodies? There’s also that one Burberry duck hat, the messy hair at Miu Miu, and those cute little towels falling out of The Row handbags.
Much can be said about fashion in 2023—things got weird, then a little quiet (luxury), and then weird again with a side of normcore—but the takeaway from this image gallery is that there’s more to your favorite looks that meet the eye. Designers this year made some zoom-worthy fashion, but if you’re feeling too lazy to pinch-and-zoom on your Vogue Runway App these days, it’s all good. We did the work for you. Scroll through to enjoy some of this year’s wildest runway details.
