Marques’Almeida is ready for its closeup. The fall 2023 collection, which designers Marta Marques and Paolo Almeda showed in their native Portugal, was a blast of Y2K references in electric technicolor hues that all but screamed, ‘Instagram girlies, come take a look at THIS!’ In theory, the idea may seem incongruous with Marques’Almeida’s signature alternative aesthetic, but once you see a pair of bubble pink recycled polyester taffeta wide-leg cargo pants worn with a strapless dress fully open on the front and secured with an extra long belt (and accessorized with a matching cowboy hat), it actually makes perfect sense.
“We have this idea that the 1990s were the coolest thing based on our older siblings; the grunge was the cool thing,” Almeida explained (he is the youngest of two, and Marques is a middle child). “But the reality is that we started consuming fashion in the noughts. We were secretly listening to Christina Aguilera,” he added laughing. “We’re at the stage now where we have a slightly younger team, and it made us go back and look at [the decade],” Marques said. “They were like ‘this is amazing!,” and we were like, ‘Really? Is it?’”
“[Ultimately] it comes from us having found this really big drive to do stuff more maximalist and more celebratory. We don’t want to tone it down and this Y2K millennium vibe is great for that” Marques added. And so their fall collection is an extravagant ode to Gen Z and fashion’s favorite current decade, a mix of pop princess and techno raver that is unabashedly joyful. Another formal cargo pants ensemble came in an acid shade of mustard, this time worn with a corset embellished with an oversized (deconstructed) fabric flower—a new kind of more overt sexiness that the designers haven’t necessarily indulged in before.Coach Marcus Freeman Wearing Notre Dame Football Hoodie
