For spring, Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini riffed on The Attico’s repertoire of languid classic glamour inflected with powerful stylish boyishness. “We’re all the time on the go,” they supplied. “The gathering is about city velocity, about Milan’s fast-paced life-style, street-savvy smarts, and a little bit of goth.”
Cue slouchy, distressed cargo pants paired with a fragile feathered corset, or a broad-shouldered anorak-parka hybrid tossed with informal hauteur over a Nineteen Twenties-inspired sequined costume with a decadent, raveled vibe. There’s all the time an air of barely undone gloss about The Attico’s hip look, a splash of attractive disarray, that speaks to girls accountable for their seductive edge. Nonetheless, embracing vulnerability is simply as fascinating—power and fragility are conflicting forces that Giorgia and Gilda have woven into their collections from the beginning, drawing from their very own expertise as girls designing for girls. It provides authenticity, and their viewers can relate; their younger firm is outwardly going slightly effectively.
“We have been impressed by the late Isabella Blow,” Gilda and Giorgia shared. “Her elegant eccentricity, her beautiful audacity—she was touching.” Blow’s hourglass determine influenced items like a taut, slender knee-length bustier costume with sweeping fringed hem fabricated from intricate black ribbons, in addition to a body-hugging halter-neck backless minidress in lacquered silver lace in a pale shade of mauve. Revealing and concealing the physique is a recreation The Attico’s designers know slightly effectively, they usually’re good at turning dainty lace into attractive items. There’s nothing ethereal of their concept of romance, they’re undoubtedly extra goth than sentimental.
This season, they experimented with new textures and neat, sharper silhouettes, shifting the main focus away from tailoring and in the direction of voluminous outerwear with an Eighties vibe. There have been hooded bombers, high-collared anoraks, low-waisted drawstring parkas, humongous ovoid shearlings, and eccentric items like a trailing peignoir-coat in knitted wool mimicking mink fur, paired with fluffy slippers that created “as if straight off the bed [look]. We’re usually in a rush, we’ve acquired to tug issues collectively rapidly,” they quipped.
Life is about working—hopefully in the direction of a greater future. However who is aware of? Right this moment greater than ever, uncertainty is the secret, because the world doesn’t appear to be in a good condition in any respect. So for now, optimism and resilience (and presumably a glance that cheers us up) are the perfect choices to maneuver on and push ahead, say by throwing a Mongolian lamb jacket over final evening’s dazzling sequined costume, and heading out for a morning cappuccino and not using a second thought, fluffy slippers in tow.
