The first time is the forever time.
The second time is the forever time.
The third time is the forever time.
We begin with no endings, but a constant returning.

An hourglass, moments passing; tidal waves, a constant renewal. The potent notion of elapsed time, looking forwards, glancing backwards, inspires Nicolas Di Felice’s Spring Summer 2023 collection for Courrèges.

The plasticity of our perception of time, a value exchange between heritage and invention, between time-consuming craft and time-saving technology, inspire. The result is the projection of an existing legacy, through a new emotion, into an unknown future. And the future has always been the focus of Courrèges – and of fashion.

The set, devised by French artist Theo Mercier, transforms the interior of the now-emblematic seasonal white Courrèges box into an annular beach which, in turns, transforms again, evolving into an hourglass metaphoric of the passage of time. The lyrics of the soundtrack underscore the theme, specially composed by Sene and Hyd.
