Before listing the key pieces I’ll be shopping for to re-create the brand’s looks, let’s dig into the spring/summer 2023 collection a bit. Entitled Le Raphia, the show was held outside Paris to an intimate crowd of fashion insiders and celebrities. It was a fitting name for the show considering the fact that raffia pines rained down from above as over 54 looks made their way down the runway. According to what Porte told Vogue, the inspiration for the collection was that it was created for “the girls you’d imagine in Portofino or Capri.”
While Porte may have been dreaming of the Italian coastline (which was visible through the usage of polka-dot prints and sunflower clip-on earrings), it still harkened back to the quintessential elements associated with this French fashion house. But what exactly are some of those key pieces that have made this brand what it’s known for today? And how did Porte pay homage to them in the brand’s S/S 23 collection? Keep scrolling as I break it down.
