There has been a renaissance of all things late \u201890s and early 2000s in fashion as of late. So it\u2019s no surprise that on-the-rise London-based designer Priya Ahluwalia<\/a> took inspiration from the music (and style) icons of that era for her eponymous label\u2019s Fall\/Winter 2023 show. Debuting as part of London Fashion Week this afternoon, Ahluwalia F\/W \u201823<\/a> was a loving ode to Sade, Lauryn Hill, Tupac, 50 Cent, Luther Vandross and more\u2014the artists who most influenced the designer\u2019s childhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last two years, especially when I’ve been doing more films, and my first two runway shows, it’s made me really think about what Ahluwalia sounds like, and what music means for me as creative and for the brand,\u201d the designer told press before the show. The end result was a co-ed fashion show chocked-full of looks that wouldn\u2019t look out of place on an MTV red carpet circa 1999. Think: double denim, dresses with dramatic hoods, colour-blocked mini dresses with statement ruffle sleeves, and sportswear-inspired suiting. Wave prints\u2014a brand staple\u2014mirrored the sound waves of some of the designer\u2019s favourite songs, and appeared on sporty shirts and casual day dresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The inspiration may have been nostalgic but the end result was anything but. Ahluwalia has built a reputation as one of London\u2019s most exciting new names, thanks in large part to her ability to deftly weave references\u2014including many to her own Nigerian-Indian heritage\u2014into clothing that feels modern and fresh. For F\/W \u201823 her empire expanded ever further, including the debut of Ahluwalia footwear. \u2018A\u2019 logos appeared on shoes, belt buckles, and as charms dangling from some of the dresses. It’s is a move that showcases the designer\u2019s ambition for her brand, but F\/W \u201823 was the latest signifier that her plans for global domination are well-founded. <\/span><\/p>\n
