From the catwalks to the streets, the bra is taking over. It shows under a jacket, slips under a coat and becomes a garment in itself. A vision freed from the codes favored by influential and fashionable girls.
It was in Paris a few weeks ago. A crowd of young socialites celebrated the launch of Camille Charrière’s capsule collection with Mango at the Hôtel de la Monnaie. Their common point. Almost all of these fans’ friends and relatives appeared in evening jackets, which were simply worn with a visible bra or transparent dresses that revealed their underwear.

The display of self-parts is no longer synonymous with the relationship to the other. We are in a relationship with ourselves, closely related to a more general search for freedom.

The bra, modestly a hidden piece of underwear, is transformed to be displayed like a shirt. Ultra sexy and sensual fashion icon. The trend is confirmed in the 2022-23 autumn-winter and next spring-summer collections. The bra is king here. If young designers such as Nensi Dojaka or Nix Lecourt Mansion work with full underwear as a day wardrobe, now many other houses also accept this trend.
At Coach, the triangle is worn with corduroy pants under a blazer jacket; At Stella McCartney, the bra slips under the dress working girl; At Miu Miu, a bra with a long low-waisted skirt reveals a steel-hardened stomach. In the evening version, it appears under a wide flawless coat with a wide opening and a long vaporous skirt at Saint Laurent, under an evening jacket worn with lace tights at Victoria Beckham or a bustier dress with sheer sequins at Bottega Veneta. In all cases, one rule applies: show it and assume it.
Spirit of Cabaret
For Nelly Rodi fashion director Marie Dupin, this trend is a direct result of the #MeToo era we live in. You regain control of your body. The display of self-parts is no longer synonymous with the relationship to the other. We are in a relationship with ourselves, closely related to a more general search for freedom. Along with this fundamental need, Gen Z, at the heart of luxury thinking, feels (and expresses) a strong desire to enjoy the present moment. “This generation of hyper-connected people wants to recapture pre-Covid optimism and have fun, live strong and dance. The tone of the body goes with it,” emphasizes Marie Dupin.
Against this new hedonism, a certain spirit of cabaret reappears, pervading the flavor of the scene and the staging. Less modest than the previous ones, the new generation is not afraid to appear naked. He also endorses the trends of the early 2000s. Seduction as the art of living in the broadest sense and recklessness are back, with the triumph of the very short, transparent and low waist in their wake. Underwear has taken over.
