There is no denying fashion’s shift to a Gen Z market, and Coach with its line-up of Tik Tok’s who’s who made its intentions crystal clear. The plaster pink stage was set at the cavernous Park Avenue armoury, but before models came strutting down the catwalk in the traditional show format, creative director, Stuart Vevers wanted to set the scene. That scene being one of New York’s iconic piers – a place where young people would have traditionally hung out.

Two models ambled hand in hand down the catwalk in a romantic moment, before choreographed models behind gracefully swayed in the distance, and an Afghan hound (a real one) strolled stage left. Then it was time for the main event: the SS23 largely gender fluid collection. A series of oversized leather jackets took over the catwalk first, then came the varsity heavy pieces complete with high top trainers, finally landing on Lil Nas X as he closed the show in jelly shoes and a jelly Tabby bag.
