Capper and Somerville wanted to give wearers various feelings when wearing AW23; lavish, luxe, romantic, sexy and rebellious. The Central Saint Martins alums pay homage to hedonism and dishabille pushing boundaries for womenswear with risque mini dresses, corsets and low-rise flared pants.
"This season we developed several new textures and techniques, like the mottled pearl embedded chainmail, the new stripe lattice shapewear category and the pearl studded hardware," Somerville says. "The creative process for us this season was developing a luxurious yet gritty opulence in our pre-existing surface textures."
Poster Girl also added three new categories to their shapewear: striped wide lattice, transparent mesh and flocked control wear alongside elevated footwear and bags. The Whorne Bag, for example, was updated with faux fur and embedded hardware. In AW23, contrasting silhouettes — luxurious fabrics combined with satin, silks and elegant pearl and crystal embellishments — bring a sense of duality.
"The only way to describe how incredible it makes you feel is by trying our one-size dress on," says Capper regarding the brand's size inclusivity. "It’s truly life changing. Confidence is the only accessory."
