TURN OF THE TIED From left: power bows at Louis Vuitton’s spring 2023 show, Acne Studios’s spring 2023 show and on Simone Rocha’s fall 2023 runway. Look to the red satin bows that drenched diaphanous black dresses on London designer Simone Rocha’s latest runway. Big black bows playfully obscured models’ torsos at Acne Studios’s spring 2023 show. And during its latest Paris presentation, Japanese brand Noir Kei Ninomiya used sparkly pink or black loops to adorn harnesses that evoked bondage. Designer Kei Ninomiya said he’s intrigued by the way bows “represent something positive, as well as the variety of shapes and expressions that they can convey.” Feel-good harnesses, anyone?
