Spring/summer 2023 womenswear trends: modern minimalism

In the early aughts, after the Y2K scare and the attacks of 9/11, designers chose to render minimalist looks in white instead of the black shades they had favored in the nineties. It marked something of a palette cleanser. Perhaps because of the current fascination with Y2K fashions, SS23 runways were filled with a variety of garments in bright white fabrics, often with a technical edge and utility details.
