Lil Nas X Closes Coach's SS223 Runway Show
Presenting Americana with a hint of cowboy.
Iconic American brand Coach unveiled its Spring/Summer 2023 collection, enticing a star-studded audience as well as cast. The equally iconic singer Lil Nas X closed the brand’s runway presentation, channeling his “Old Town Road” aesthetic with a Western-inspired leather vest, won rich brown leather shorts and 2000’s era-appropriate glitter jelly shoes.
Coach’s latest melange of garments blends the brand’s preppy, All-American design sensibilities with utilitarian work wear alongside unabashedly feminine pieces. The collection includes oversized leather shirt-jackets alongside cozy knits adorned with candy-colored swatches for extra texture and flair. Elsewhere, Coach taps into our days hanging by lockers and underneath bleachers with the arrival of varsity-inspired pieces. Boldly printed letters stand proudly on the chests of pleated dresses and crewneck sweaters. More flirtatious frocks break up the array as sleek periwinkle butterflies spread their wings across black cap-sleeved dresses, while voluminous sleeves and Peter Pan colors complete idyllic shift dresses.
Meanwhile, the collection doesn’t hold back on edge as leather makes several appearances in the form of deep burgundy overalls, longline vest dresses vibrantly purple hued trench coats.
