Milan Fashion Week FW23 street style: relaxed luxe

The fashion industry crowd, including buyers, editors, models and
influencers, flocked to Milan mid-February for the FW23 collections.
As usual, there was as much to photograph outside the shows as there
was within. Attendees wore a variety of looks. That included outfits
that had a relaxed luxe vibe; call it the ‘Virgil Abloh’ effect.
Designers like Glenn Martens at Diesel and Kim Jones at Fendi continue
to deliver this style of dress, which combines activewear and denim,
often accessorized with designer handbags and footwear. Here are ten
great looks from the week.

1. A Diesel show attendee wore a pink hoodie, denim maxi skirt, D logo
belt and sunglasses – all from the brand.

2. Another attendee at the Diesel show wore the brand’s oversized
white sweatshirt and denim maxi skirt. She carried a ‘Cagole’ bag in
metallic and the ‘New York City’ pouch, both by Balenciaga.

orange shearling jacket and over-long cargo pocket denim jeans, all by
