London Fashion Week AW23 Highlights: Molly Goddard

Molly Goddard presented her AW23 collection on Saturday at London Fashion Week, inspired by her time at university and exploration in the fashion industry.

Describing the collection, Goddard commented: "In a way, this collection is an ode to fashion. I worked with my stylist Alice Goddard, scouring through the library, thinking about how we’d actually wear the pieces we coveted in fashion magazines - this Charles James dress with that Ralph Lauren jumper; that Anna Molinari slip with this Cerutti coat.

"We reminisced about pieces we’d owned as kids and teenagers - leopard print jeans we’d bought at Gap kids in Whiteleys, screen print sporty knitwear from portobello, an exposed popper belt we shared from Claire’s accessories - ideas you’ll see referenced or directly recreated in the collection."

Presented to a small crowd in her studio, Goddard's AW23 collection is a nostalgic look into her own personal history. Models exited from the atelier, where the clothes are made each season, into a space normally used as a showroom.
