Paul Costelloe presented a colorful and vibrant runway show, within a narrative of a city garden landscape for his Spring/Summer 2023 collection. We were immersed into a floral paradise, graphic shapes with chic electric glamour, in the set designed around the opulent Mansion House – Walbrook.

Costelloe’s show features vibrant, adventurous silhouettes, with his models fashioning blonde bob hair cuts, and chromatic make-up matching the colour pallet of this fashion collection. Yellow-piped, refined cable knitted jacket and twin sets, large lapels, flouncing bottom and orange stockings styled the clothing, along with silver espadrille heels. Accessories including bright yellow oversized weekend bag and statement earrings bringing the collection together.

The presentation progressed into whites, with the bright colours becoming delicate embellishments, white midsummer dresses canvassing elegant flowered patterns. Silky jacket with giant bouffant sleeves and palettes changing from white into bright yellow and orange, finalising into smooth purple and blue. 

These rich colored structured garments formed a significant contrast to the solemnity of the Walbrook Mansion House, which illustrated the charming and graceful side of British beauty and an urban chic lifestyle. 

Costelloe has always been an indispensable representative of British beauty, glamour and class, renowned for his sculptured classic looks he designed for Diana, Princess of Wales during the period of time he was appointed as her personal designer. 

This collection merged bold exaggerated structures, textures and traditional delicate silhouettes.
