PRISCAVera showcased their Fall/Winter SS23 Runway Show at New York Fashion Week on February 13. The collection combines casual looks, office attire and evening-wear, with a modular approach for interchangeable pieces. These follow three thematic threads: “bossy gothic,” “bare minimum sex appeal,” and “back to the office,” with repeating silhouettes transformed by different textiles. It stays true to the brand’s roots with a commitment to complex tailoring and investigates the shifting boundaries of empowerment, sensuality and elegance.
The brand’s development of logo prints sees the introduction of a denim jacquard, soft mesh with a green tartan print, alongside stitch suits, skirts and corsets in black and white walk, and a system of hounds-tooth garments. For evenings, metallic and pink silks, metallic silver lurex, and velvet burnout make up a series of semi-transparent liquid tops, slip dresses, trousers, button-up dresses and shirts with ultra-feminine shapes and details like key-holes and knots.
Founded in 2015 by Prisca Vera Franchetti, PRISCAVera speaks to a feminine that embraces human dualities and dives into the absurdities of contemporary life with a defiant sense of freedom and humor.
