PRESENTATIONS - AN ISPIRED WINTER

02/29/2012

Arthur Rimbaud wrote Les Voyelles trying to translate the world he perceived, in a universal language: that of the emotions. Thus, during this Fashion Week for autumn-winter 2012/2013, the protagonists were the five senses. Touch, sight, smell, taste and hearing. Strong colors, soft and precious materials, leather with an handmade aroma, strong taste and, as far as hearing is concerned, they are far away memories, tied to the past. A of Alcantara, vocal and the first letter of the alphabet, surprising for illustrious collaborations, from Sara Battaglia to Leitmotiv, from Catherine Gatta to Andrea Incontri. Church's, revisits two historical models: the Burwood shoes and the classic slippers. Jimmy Choo runs into a '70s revival and discovers the bohemian charm, switching from a male model to a female one: total gold. Cesare Casadei, is inspired by the archetype of the stars of the past: feminine, mysterious and fascinating. Suede and leather. Cuissards in stretch nappa leather and oversized buckles. The stiletto heel becomes a weapon of seduction. Color is the undisputed protagonist, masterfully dosed, well balanced between creativity and experimentation. Court shoes rediscover their original purpose as a pedestal: a small stage able to transform a woman. For Persol, inspiration is at Casa Malaparte, "a red arrow toward the horizon," as Curzio liked to call it. The silver arrow was redesigned by recalling the shape of the house, as well as the original engraving of the rods, aimed at recalling the stairs. Persol Capri Edition is a clever combination of technology, quality, research and Italian design. Furla imagines a winter in strong colors: sparkling style anti cold for the new it bags. Sergio Rossi, however, points to the black with twists given by python, ostrich, chamois and nappa. A body that goes in and out of a dense dark, carnal, waiting to be transformed into pure attraction. For Fratelli Rossetti, the keyword is unconventionality, served with awareness and class. Characteristics of an androgynous woman who does not disdain Dandies and likes to be called Lady Brera. Valextra, points to a casual chic, where ‘less is more’ is an imperative for inspiration. Bally, in a perfect balance between innovation and tradition, closes the circle, transforming this carousel of attractions, into an O: the Omega.
