Christian Cowan is a fashion designer known for his bold and innovative designs. His Fall/Winter 2023 Ready-To-Wear collection was recently showcased at New York Fashion Week on February 14, 2023, at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in New York City. Prominent guests were seen seated in the front row. Bella Thorne was spotted wearing a star-shaped neckline dress with a shiny, latex-like look.

The inspiration for Christian Cowan’s Fall/Winter 2023 Ready-To-Wear collection was the late Judy Garland, a legendary singer and actress. He harnessed her powerhouse style and influence into his designs. In addition to Garland, Cowan also referenced female icons who have impacted the queer community, giving his usual party-girl aesthetic a more mature update.

Lavender was a prominent color trend in the Fall/Winter 2023 collections showcased at New York Fashion Week, including at Christian Cowan’s show. Lavender was featured in sharp suiting, ladylike dresses, and party-ready sequinned designs.

Finally, for the finale look, a sequined halter neck jumpsuit appeared under a splashy feathery cloak that tugged down the model who carried it on her back. Originally surprising and obviously accidental, the model finally shed the coat after struggling to walk with it on, in a moment that was hailed with roars of applause. It was the ultimate conclusion to the show’s narrative.
