Blumarine Pre-Fall 2023 Collection is Out of a Y2K Fever Dream
That’s hot.
Italian brand Blumarine is amping up early aughts fever and sending temperatures rising with its Pre-Fall 2023 collection. The heavily Y2K-inspired gathering of garments infuses vintage silhouettes and fabrics with a provocative attitude, resulting in an array of exciting pieces.
Electric lime green faux fur coats and slinky liquid metal skirts set the tone for the line, marrying opulence with elegance. Color is in rich supply for the season as the range is flush with Barbie-core ensembles. Knit hoodies are accented with fuzzy vests, whereas silk keyhole blouses are accented with prom-ready roses at the neck. A figure-flattering raspberry hued dress flaunts a sultry cowl neck and asymmetric hemline, adding intrigue to your typical mid-length frock. Distressed denim in a matching bubblegum pink shade continues the 2000s-esque aesthetic while keeping it edgy
The decade’s favorite fabric makes several appearances as ribbons of denim cascade down a fitted shirt. Jeans are outfitted with layers of flared and frayed material, resulting in a decidedly innovative Canadian tuxedo. A psychedelic purple shag jacket stands out amongst the already ostentatious presentation, a hard feat to accomplish. Meanwhile, a sweeping, obsidian dress bearing a knee-high slit is daring enough to make Morticia Addams proud. Each item is carefully constructed as accessories are given Blumarine’s full attention. Oversized belts command attention, while the collection’s multi-strapped sandals is seen with almost every outfit. Handbags are somehow cinched in the middle, mirror the wearer’s snatched form and arrive in bite-sized and more spacious varieties.
