Wales Bonner Presents Autumn/Winter 2023 Collection Inspired by “Twilight Reverie”
London-based fashion brand, Wales Bonner, founded by British-Jamaican mixed-race designer Grace Wales Bonner, has officially launched its highly anticipated Autumn/Winter 2023 collection. Following the success of their “MARATHON” line at Paris Fashion Week for the 2024 spring and summer season, the brand continues to push the boundaries of fashion with their latest offering.
Taking inspiration from the concept of “Twilight Reverie,” the designer builds upon her previous work showcased at Pitti Uomo in Florence. This collection not only boasts an even more luxurious feel but also delves deeper into the exploration of sexuality and self-identity, particularly focusing on black men. Wales Bonner seamlessly combines elements of both British and Jamaican culture, collaborating with adidas to pay tribute to the Jamaican national football team, known as the “Reggae Boyz.”
One of the standout features of this collection is the incorporation of traditional Savile Row tailoring techniques. The exquisitely tailored double-breasted suit jackets exemplify the brand’s commitment to impeccable craftsmanship. Alongside this, the use of Swarovski crystals as embellishments on carefully curated accessories adds an extra touch of opulence.
The womenswear section of the collection introduces soccer-inspired tops and track pants, reflecting the brand’s dedication to inclusivity and gender fluidity. Additionally, the accessories range features unique handcrafted pieces made in Ghana using recycled glass beads, clear and emerald Swarovski crystals, Tiger Eye disc beads, and gold-plated brass. Each item tells a story of culture and tradition, showcasing Wales Bonner’s commitment to sustainable and ethical fashion practices.
The Wales Bonner Autumn/Winter 2023 collection is now available for purchase on the brand’s official website. Fashion enthusiasts and fans of designer Grace Wales Bonner can explore the full range and experience the allure of “Twilight Reverie” for themselves.
