doublet FW23 Presented Furry Looks and Voguing Mice
As well as Big Foot sweatpants, hairy Vans slip-ons, and a Suicoke collaboration fit for monsters.
Despite being sat outside, doublet‘s Fall/Winter 2023 collection managed to put a smile on our faces. Debuting as part of Paris Fashion Week, Masayuki Ino invited attendees into a frankly hilarious world of voguing mice, fluffy bunny costumes, and models that walked with a sense of urgency (or maybe it was just the -1 degree temperatures).
Alas, this was doublet at its best: not taking itself too seriously, but presenting clothes that offered serious attention to detail. Stomachs were exposed to the elements alongside bare legs covered only by boxer briefs, while others were completely wrapped up in herringbone check coats that pushed the lapels down to the navel.
But of course, it was the wilder scenes that stole the show. As dancers — dressed in tiger-print onesies — pounded the floor, Chet Lo-esque spiked sheer hoodies, skirts made from flipped and reversed rib knit jumper dresses, fleece joggers contrasted with lime green crocodile scales, rippling ruffle sweaters with waves on the arms, and Big Foot levels of hairy sweat pants all came along the runway pavement.
On foot were hairy Vans slip-ons, taking the iconic model and subverting the checkerboard print with patches of black and white, or pink and black, faux fur. The monster mash continued with a Suicoke footwear collaboration, which saw flats equipped with Vibram sole units, a strappy top, and fur innards.
Echoing the joy were jeans sporting stuffed legs coming out of the hips, a sweater that you could flip over your head and pretend to be a bear, inflatable neon green T-shirts, and more.
