COLLECTION TITLE /Arteggio AW23/24

STRUCTURE: The Autumn/Winter 2023/24 collection “Arteggio” represents an exploration of fabrics and garment structure, with a focus on enhancing textures, shapes, and contrasts.

Worked prints evolve both in skirts and dresses, as well as corsets that are meticulously patterned and reinforced with cotton edgings and twills.
Dresses and corsetry adorned with 3D latex applications in antique gold, bronze, and metallic silver create a jewel-like aesthetic.
Clean and architectural lines for daytime wear, almost solemn in nature, while metallic feathers take center stage for the evening looks.

The evening theme follows the interplay of draped fabrics, each with distinct directions and cuts that carry on the symmetry of the collection.

Striking prints evoke neoclassical, modernist, Pre-Raphaelite, and pop surrealist painters for daytime ensembles. Transparencies in nearly unique pieces capture a modern and sensual nocturnal image.

Tulle skirts in pastel caramel shades, gradient effects, and voluminous structures are also featured.
A 1920s-inspired look is updated with headpieces that reinforce a blend of sensuality and ethereal beauty.

COLORS: Vison, caramel, and vintage beige serve as the collection’s common denominators.
These hues transition into violet tones, lead green, and peacock blue. Applications and trims, reminiscent of embroidery, are used alongside sequined fabrics for nighttime attire, presenting a modern flapper aesthetic that melds the antique with the classic.
Nude and dusty rose colors unveil characters of feminine elegance.

FABRICS: Gauze, tulle, and satin fabrics take center stage. Shantung and original prints on satin crepe and chiffon create unique patterns. Internal twills structure the corsets, which are embellished with metallic 3D latex applications. Unique embroideries and tinted rooster feathers complete the collection.
