A return to tailoring, to perfect lines, to a new rigor but with a contemporary and relaxed flavour: this is Italian autumn-winter 2023/2024 fashion.
GIORGIO ARMANI titles his collection “Face powder”: the make-up moment is intimate, personal. Intimate is also the feeling that pervades this collection, presented during a fashion show with a domestic dimension, evoked by the cushions of a sofa. The atmosphere is that of a living room, a place of exchange and conviviality and the wardrobe that accompanies this idea of gentle domesticity is fluid, precious. The shapes follow the body and movement: silky clothes like pajamas, enveloping shawls, soft trousers, pullovers, elongated jackets and long dresses, in a cosmetic palette of earth, bronze, powder with touches of mandarin enhanced by the abundance of black kajal. The motif of a stylized flower recurs, a synthesis of grace, delicacy and discretion.
CHIARA BONI, “La Petite Robe” offers an essential and exquisitely elegant attitude for the season. Drawing inspiration from the stark and sensual images of Helmut Newton, the collection focuses on impeccable silhouettes and a concise color palette, focused mainly on black, illuminated by touches of winter white and azalea. In line with the mood, black leather accessories that dress the body enhance the precision of the shapes, in a game of seduction.
The celebration of the 30th anniversary of ANTEPRIMA continues: the city of Milan returns as the protagonist to interpret its essence, the true creative fulcrum and source of inspiration for Izumi Ogino, Creative Director of the brand. Love at the center of the new collection: for Crafts, for Art and for Life. The shapes are more structured and clear, while maintaining a sense of fluidity and femininity. Cutouts are precise and edges rounded on minimalist pieces with a fresher, bolder feel. Inspired by the world of architecture and design, the sculpted volume full of air adds a fun dimension to the collection.
For ETRO the DNA of the brand lies in the fabric and the print: tartan, tie motifs and, of course, paisley. All this returns today, framed by a new sense of geometric precision, by a psychedelic propensity for clean cuts and rhythmic designs. Everything mixes instinctively: long flowing dresses are paired with long, chunky sweaters; men's trousers and waistcoats are combined with silk blouses.
For the men's world, ELEVENTY creates a collection of the highest quality, tailored and young, contaminated by a light "College touch" of 60s Preppy inspiration. Unique and refined patterns and shades are expertly mixed in a chromatic path of dusty shades, among which cloud white, sand and camel stand out, new warm colors made exclusively and colder shades such as stone grey, dusty and blue cobalt. A constant in the brand's collections are the dual-material garments, born from the combination of different materials, such as nylon and leather, fabric and knit.
CANALI, on the other hand, understands that the definition of masculinity today is far from univocal. Masculinity has rightly acquired a plurality of nuances and feelings that has permanently changed the way men deal with the daily act of dressing. The Brand recognizes these changes and embarks on a new path, with an innovative approach, offering men tools that they can use to best express their way of being. The way in which these garments are made, following a gentle approach in construction and silhouette, but also delicate towards the environment, is what defines the CANALI way of making: subtle, natural and never forced.
