1.LEITMOTIV
Deer Dance –
American Indians consider the deer a symbol of love and friendship. The kind of love that embraces the pains future and past, defying negative people or situations, as if they were made of air.
Leimotiv is a fashion house from Bologna, founded by the Italian stylist Fabio Sasso and Colombian Juan Caro; the first loves the baroque style, the second everything Gothic and they are both devoted to creating sublime collections capable of bringing to life fairy tales loved by adults and kids alike. Their S/S 2017 collection is entirely based on vivid colors: yellow, green, red, white and blue – meant to highlight laces and frills, embroidery as well as eccentric prints. By the way, floral prints are back accompanied by delicate fringes. Masculine designs, but also evening gowns with frills, deep V necks and elegantly exposed backs, or maybe you’d prefer gowns with mesh or heavily embroidered and decorated with paillettes, and sheer fabrics.

2.ANTEPRIMA
‘‘Womanhood as strenght.’’
Back in 1993 Izumi Ogino created the new contemporary style. Even since the foundation of the brand, Anteprima has always aimed at creating elegant and refined collections – a mission more than accomplished. Ogino’s designs are exhuberantly luxurious, meant to enhance a fearless beauty that cannot be constrained by anything, be it a physycal limitation or our culture, which is why her collections are loved by those women who live in the most vivacious cities of the planet. Anteprima’ S/S 2017 collection combine feminine and masculine thanks to manly blazers and lace-up shoes, flowings silks, high waist trousers and laces serving as scarves. The runway was permeated by the unique charisma of voluminous designs that clothed the bodies without ever caging them. Sport gear with black, blue, yellow and red polka dots, but also stripes, or revisited and modified and of course, elegant flowery dresses. Anteprima offers an ideal wardrobe where women can find skirts and ankle-lenght pants as well as long gowns and silk skirts to be worn together with crop tops or deep V necks.

4.FRANCESCO SCOGNAMIGLIO
‘‘Enfant terrible metropolitane’’
The famous Italian stylist Francesco Scognamiglio has often collaborated with the most prestigious fashion houses of the world such as Versace – this until 1998 when he decided to open his own atelier and start his own fashion business, finally making the breakthough thanks to his collection inspired to the 80’s presented at Palazzo Barberini. For his S/S 2017 collection, the Neapolitan artist combined a Neoclassic style with that of Imperial China, when comfy designs were enriched by gold and pearls, but he also added a Parisian touch, with those irresistible short adherent dresses, laces and sheer skirts embroidered or further embillished by delicate fabrics. Scognamiglio opts for tulle and chiffon, laces and silks: choices that helped highlight the floral prints (especially the Iris flower ) and make the entire collection look even more elegant. Not even the more girlish-looking pieces such as shorts, deep cleavage tops and skirts with side slits could alter the viewer’s perception of a romantic collection.

4.GENNY
‘‘‘Enfant terrible metropolitane’’’
Originally, Genny was Arnaldo Girombelli’s shop in Ancona where he used to tailor skirts and pretty shirts for women in 1961. Things took quite a turn and in 1968 Girombelli was opening his first atelier and only five years later he hired Gianni Versace, who’ll work for Girombelly up until the 90’s and created the Byblos side brand. Prada acquired Genny in 2001, the former being acquired by Swinger International S.p.A. in 2011 in turn with the precise mission of bringing the Italian fashion back. Ever since 2011, Genny’s collections have been designed by Gabriele Colangelo and as for today, the brand is present in more than 150 retail shops. The S/S 2017 collection by Genny takes inspiration from a pagan age when women warriors fought bravely, imposing their femininity. Genny’s female warlords walked the runway covered in light, almost transparent gowns. The stylist Sara Cavazza Facchini suggests tracksuits with unique metallic details. Corsets and plissè fabrics, gowns made in organza, lurex, leather, mesh and chiffon; gowns tracksuits and slacks: all of these predominantly in icy colors such as blue to enhance a woman’s body.

Must have: A long white tracksuit with a deep cleavage and a metallic details such as a belt or a necklace. Continue reading clicking the below button Next >
5.BYBLOS
‘‘Alice may live in a world where dream and reality mix, but she looks like a woman now, a woman who loves to play with clothes – soft voluminous A shaped dresses, so much more pret-à-porter – she picks slacks as straight as a tower, shorter yet larger; she covers her shoulder with fancy shaped boleros or waistcoasts that morph into coats that morph again into embroidered gowns’’
Byblos was Arnaldo Girombelli’s side brand in 1973, but now it belongs to Manuel Facchini, a designer who resoterd and restyled it, opting for a combination of volumes and pragmatism, in line with Facchini’s fame as a designer who loves Art and Architecture and often mixes the two. For the collection he brought to the Milanese runway, he took inspiration from air and lightness, like the suave lightness of Peter Gentenaar’s paper scupltures. Geometrical cuts, peculiar prints and contrasting volumes are the distinctive designs of Byblos’ S/S2017 collection. Byblos too adopted floral prints for mini dresses and bags, while embroidered flowers decorate tops and gowns. The skirts are so ample they remind one of a parachute, decorated with tulle, silk and organza, so light they seem to dance on their own accord.

Must have: Maxi dress in sheer fabric to be worn on top of a crop top and shorts, decorated with fringes and embroidery
