Nehera AW23

Palais de Tokyo, the epicenter of Paris Fashion Week. A place where we all go to recharge, mingle and most importantly attend some of the biggest shows in Fashion Week. Nehera was showing their Autumn Winter 23 collection and lucky me, I was finally well seated at front row to this pivotal show. Thusly, this front row moment was my magical moment number 5. Under the direction of a new creative director, Nehera shows us what we can all look forward to in the upcoming seasons.

Digging deep into my memory, the last Nehera show I saw in person was in 2020. I remembered the simple lines and the flow of the garments. The entire runway show seemed like a wash of watercolor. This season I am expecting to see more of the same sort of classic elegance, a quiet statement.

The AW23 collection was anchored in shades of the grey scale from white to black. The designs were all smart, slight departures from conservative representations of sportswear. There was just enough detail to make it just a bit daring, but not taken far enough to not be classified as classic. Cropped suit jackets in black were paired with hardware detailed slouchy suit trousers. Draped tunics and jewel toned turtlenecks appeared alongside raw edged plaid tweed coats. A beautifully constructed light grey twisted suit jacket and a dove colored Melton wool cocoon coat really had my attention.

Nehera is the definition of functional comfort, creating exceptional fashion that remains elegant. Current trends demad excess and Nehera reminds us of the fail proof aesthetics of less if more. The timeless designs shifts the focus onto the craftsmanship and beauty of the materials. Nehera's culture feels grounded and unassuming. As a result, designs are understated, unique and quietly compelling.
