With the lift of global pandemic policies, many countries are already coexisting with the virus and returning to the normal life. The fashion week also shifts to physical runway shows from the digital. In 2022, it has become more borderless worldwide and the far-flung fashion shows are eventually back. Dior unveiled the 2022 Fall ready-to-wear collection at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, which was the fashion house's first time to hold a runway show in South Korea. As for Dior Men, the Artistic Director Kim Jones brought its 2023 Spring Collection show to Los Angeles, U.S.A.. With this comeback of destination shows, Chanel also headed to Monaco for its Cruise 2023 show and will relaunch the 21/22 Métiers d'art collection on the 7th of June in Florence, the city of Renaissance.

Meanwhile, Louis Vuitton showcased their 2023 Cruise Collection in California, the runway was walked out in the plaza at Salk Institute. And after Gucci's Love Parade show took place along the Hollywood Walk of Fame in November last year, the fashion house this year launched the 2023 Resort collection at Castel Del Monte in Puglia, Italy. Also from the French luxury group Kering, Balenciaga is bringing the next Spring 2023 Collection to New York City, which is the first time in two years for Balenciaga to stage a runway show ditching Paris.

《當代建築第三人稱》一書中曾說到：「當代建築容易欣賞，卻不易理解，在去除掉一切裝飾後，建築，更像是一門抽象藝術。」在 Louis Vuitton 2023早春開秀時夕陽餘暉落在美國加州的索爾克研究院（Salk Institute）中央大道，太陽至中軸線上分隔映射而入，Louis Vuitton 完整地將當代建築與抽象藝術之理解：一種不描述自然世界的藝術，反透過形狀和顏色以主觀方式來表達。

Louis Vuitton 女裝創意總監 Nicolas Ghesquière 擅長以當代建築作為創作靈感與秀場選地，並將空間軸線與過去、現在、未來時間軸交織、以古典涵義滿載未來主義，將兩種衝突美學結合，創造出Nicolas Ghesquière獨一無二的多重宇宙。Salk Institute這座由建築師 Louis Kahn 設計的粗野主義作品結合LV服裝中金屬未來感與復古宮廷輪廓，看似中世紀感的裙擺，卻藏著不同材質與顏色拼接未來風格的元素與特色，以建築「對稱美學」激盪出現代感服裝形式，海平面、折射光影、天空與建築本身都成為靈感來源。他打造出來的LV女裝形象是堅毅、未來主義感的女戰士，宛如《沙丘》科幻小說中神秘多元的遊牧文明，用古典美學向未來史學緻意。Nicolas自擔任Louis Vuitton 女裝創意總監後，時常以穿梭時光為主軸，早春系列更是悠遊藝術人間，選址地點遍佈全球，如摩納哥王宮廣場、由現代主義大師 John Lautner 於加州棕櫚泉打造的私人宅邸（The Bob and Dolores Hope Estate）、 巴西的尼泰羅依當代藝術博物館、由建築大師貝聿銘建造的京都美秀美術館、知名芬蘭裔美國建築師 Eero Saarinen 設計的紐約甘迺迪機場第五航站，以及去年於巴黎近郊走秀的大型藝術傑作 Axe Majeur ， 創意總監 Nicolas Ghesquière 正在改寫 Louis Vuitton 女裝的歷史，其中也不段強調著LV百年來文化血液中的旅行主題，承襲著品牌文化底蘊行李箱發跡主旨，乘載著每個旅人們的精神，關乎對未來的渴望。

It's said in the book—Contemporary Architecture The Third that "It is easy to appreciate contemporary architecture, but difficult to comprehend it. After eliminating all the decorations, architecture is more like an abstract art." When the Louis Vuitton 2023 Cruise show began, the afterglow of sunset lingered on the courtyard of Salk Institute, beamed and reflected on an axis. Louis Vuitton has entirely expressed the comprehension of contemporary architecture plus abstract art by a subjective way of shapes and colors instead of the indescribability of nature.

Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative director for Louis Vuitton's women collections, is highly inspired by contemporary architecture. He not only applies the inspiration on his design but also on selecting venues. Wittily interweaves the space with the past, present and future, has the classics to be tinged with futurism, building up the unique cosmo of Nicolas Ghesquière himself. The brutalist Salk Institute designed by architect Louis Kahn, was combined with the metallic and futuristic pieces of Louis Vuitton collection this time, along the outline of palaces and seemingly medieval hemlines with hidden mixture of different colors and textiles. The aesthetics of symmetry seen on the architecture inspired the clothing with elements like horizon, reflection of beam and skyline. The image of womenswear Nicholas has built is armour-like and futuristic which is alike to the mysterious nomad from science fiction "Dune". Traveling through time has often been used as the major theme since Nicholas was appointed as creative director, he tends to bring the destination shows to various locations worldwide, such as Royal Palace in Monaco, the Bob and Dolores Hope Estate designed by modernist John Lautner in Palm Springs, California, Niterói Contemporary Art Museum in Brazil, Miho Museum in Kyoto built by I.M. Pei, former terminal TWA Flight Center designed by architect Eero Saarinen in New York, as well as showcasing around the large-scale masterpiece Axe Majeur in the suburb of Paris last year. Nicolas Ghesquière is rewriting the history of Louis Vuitton womenswear, while ceaselessly emphasizing traveling as the theme of Louis Vuitton for the past century, carries out the spirit of each globetrotter and the desire towards future.

Castel Del Monte 蒙特城堡特色來自於八邊形的建築外觀，而數字8也與此古堡有著緊密的連結。

The features of the castle come from an octagonal outline and have a lot to do with the number 8.

另一位將風格最大極致化的非時尚鬼才Alessandro Michele 莫屬，總是能透過哲學思想與大膽文藝戲劇張力反覆傳達他賦予的核心價值，透過歷史、宗教儀式、哲學，由感知帶著你進入故事開端。2023年 GUCCI 全新男女裝時裝系列取名為 《Cosmogonie》 ，抵達擁有700多年歷史的義大利南部的蒙特城堡（Castel del Monte），訴說著星叢的剎那永恆。此座古堡建造於13世紀，是神聖羅馬帝國皇帝腓特烈二世（Frederick II of Hohenstaufen）在位期間建造的古堡，它的特色來自於八邊形的建築外觀，而數字8也與此古堡有著緊密的連結，城堡八個角上有8座八邊形的塔、城堡內部也有著一座八邊形的庭院、每一層樓有著八個房間，然而至今依然沒有人知道這座城堡為何跟數字8有所連結，或許這也是 Alessandro Michele 選擇此處的原因？擁有神秘與歷史交織的空間賦予著想像空間，在神秘理論當中，8代表著水平和垂直方向的無限，又代表著宇宙力量的基礎，正好與古堡的主人腓特烈二世有所連結，他對中世界的科學推動佔有一席之地，並且著迷於天文學與占星學，種種推斷成為大眾對於蒙特古堡的猜想與推斷。選址地點與 Alessandro Michele 哲學派思想的時尚故事家不謀而合，他透過德國猶太裔哲學家 Walter Benjamin 的獨特宇宙觀為靈感來源，將時間與空間的剎那匯聚，人類文明與天文、占星學的連結，啟發服裝創作、設計符號的基礎語序， Alessandro Michele 的 GUCCI 不是單純設計服裝的商業交易，更是以完美訴說著每一場故事。

GUCCI 創意總監 Alessandro Michele 。

Creative director of Gucci — Alessandro Michele.

Another fashion genius Alessandro Michele who maximizes his style, always conveys his core value via philosophical thinking and the boldness of Renaissance by the storytelling of history, religious ceremony and philosophy with sentimental beginnings. He named the latest collection of 2023 as Cosmogonie, which tells the instant and eternity of constellation. He brought the runway show all the way to Castel del Monte that has a history of more than 700 years. The castle was built in 13th Century during the reign of Emperor Frederick II of Hohenstaufen. It features an octagonal outline and has a lot to do with the number 8, to name but a few, eight octagonal towers on the eight corners of the castle, an octagonal courtyard in the castle, eight rooms on each floor, etc. Nonetheless, it’s remained a secret why the castle is highly related to number eight until now, and this secrecy is probably why Alessandro Michele chose as venue since it provides infinite imagination between mystery and history. In the theory of mystery, eight means infinite both vertically and horizontally which also links to Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, the owner of the castle, who had great devotion to science in Middle Age and was mesmerized by astronomy and astrology. All of these mentioned above were inferred to the reason why Alessandro, as a storyteller of fashion, selected this location that meets his philosophy. The design is inspired by the unique cosmology of German-Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin, brings together time and space, links with civilization, astronomy and astrology. Alessandro Michele has turned Gucci into perfect storytelling instead of merely trading designed clothes.
