Coach debuted Stuart Vevers’ Spring 2023 collection with a runway show in New York City. Set on a dreamlike New York City pier, the show explored Coach’s American heritage through the lens of fluidity and circularity, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and pieces designed with multiple lives in mind. As part of the presentation, the house also unveiled multi-platinum artist, singer and songwriter Lil Nas X as a new global ambassador for Coach in his first-ever runway appearance.
The collection introduced ready-to-wear and bags crafted of repurposed leather jackets and football leather, remade into one-of-a-kind pieces, as well as charmingly love-worn hand-knit fisherman’s sweaters and distressed denim workwear. To underscore the collection’s theme of remixed references to the past, these pieces were juxtaposed with short gingham dresses, finished with black lace, and overdyed varsity sweaters—Americana subverted with attitude. In addition, the house introduced new imaginations of its Tabby bag, seen for the first time on the runway, in a messenger style and in a colorful jelly material, a nod to the beachy undercurrent of the collection.
