The FW23 ‘Twilight Reverie‘ show became, at the time, one of Wales Bonner‘s most opulent and established shows. A show in which he ascended to a higher plane by reflecting his British and Jamaican cultural influences with which he explores the representations of sexuality and the identity of black men.
The designer now offers, within the menswear and womenswear framework, fluid garments with which to update the autumn closet through a dual exploration of opposites and/or eclectic references that converge between tailoring, preppy aesthetics and streetwear. In this sense, the tailoring comes in the form of a double-breasted blazer and matching wide pants in “ivory” color, cut in a textured cotton and viscose blend.
Almost at the other end of the spectrum, the Motif jersey in off-white and navy blue has sophisticated collegiate overtones, as do the ‘Kola’ tracksuit, black and yellow ribbed knit top and ‘City’ polo enhanced with a high-end color palette and textile.
As for the womenswear offer, we can see how Bonner goes even deeper into the soccer field to present an outfit dressed in coordinated sets with tops and tracksuit bottoms. A collection that is completed by a range of brooches and necklaces handmade in Ghana with recycled glass beads, clear Swarovski crystals and emeralds, Tiger Eye disc beads and gold-plated brass.
Wales Bonner’s FW23 collection is now available for purchase online, as well as at Wales Bonner’s space in Dover Street Market London, which takes over from Raf Simons.
