Experiencing a strong revival in 2023, the “Cowboy-core” fashion trend – the Western aesthetic, continues to evolve and quickly dominate international fashion shows. Iconic items such as cowboy boots, leather jackets, wide-brimmed hats have had glorious moments as they were enthusiastically embraced by fashion enthusiasts, becoming “IT-items” in modern and chic fashion trends. Making a loud presence in the stylings of blockbuster films like Barbie and being an unforgettable highlight in Beyonce’s “Renaissance” tour and Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” the Western fashion style is stirring up social media and serving as endless inspiration for ideal street styles.
FASHION TREND “FEMME FATALE” – THE OBSESSION FROM ASSASSIN STYLE TO THE FASHION WORLD In recent months, Western aesthetic trends have been resurging. This was evident at Pharrell’s recent Louis Vuitton show, one of the pre-Spring collection campaigns outlined with sophistication. While it has not yet become the dominant fashion trend beyond hats and cowboy boots, it seems that the Western-inspired clothing trend will continue to appear at Fashion Weeks, especially as we enter the peak season. Not limited to accessories, wild and sophisticated details will begin to invade our wardrobes, such as Western-inspired trims and fringe details.
This trend continues to infiltrate London Fashion Week, appearing at Pharrell Williams’ FW24 show for Louis Vuitton. The collection draws inspiration from historical costumes and images, impressing with fabric prints and a fusion of cultural backgrounds. It can be said that every step on the runway is a journey that takes viewers to explore the unique beauty of the Western frontier. From the runway to every corner of the streets, everywhere has become a meeting place for designers and artists to celebrate the unique beauty of the Western aesthetic, creating exceptionally attractive fashion masterpieces.
Long dresses with intricate floral patterns or sophisticatedly tailored suits represent the combination of modern and traditional Western aesthetics. Natural materials such as linen and cotton are prioritized, creating comfort and a close connection to nature. In recent years, Western fashion has become an endless source of inspiration for the fashion and beauty industry. Talented designers have introduced new collections with a strong sense of challenge, shaping global aesthetic trends. In this context, the Western aesthetic trend is taking full “spotlight” at world-renowned fashion events.
