SUPERLATIVE DIOR THE DIOR FASHION SHOW EXPRESSES VITALITY AND NEW MOOD. A COLLECTION CREATED IN SYMBIOSIS WITH THE VERY POPULAR STREETWEAR BRAND SHAWN STUSSY, A BRAND THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN INSPIRED BY THE SKATE SCENE AND URBAN SUBCULTURES. A STYLE THAT MIXES HIGH-LEVEL COUTURE FOR MEN WITH URBAN TRENDS AND IS VERY REMINISCENT OF THE 80S SUPER STAR STREET ARTISTS, FROM KEITH HARING TO JEAN MICHEL BASQUIAT. PRECIOUS MIX’N’MATCH HUES, WITH LOGO PRINTS IN CONTRASTING COLOUR NUANCES FOR A CHIC STREET STYLE.

STRIPES STRIPES, A TIMELESS ELEMENT. THEY INSPIRE JOY, THEY CAN HAVE A SPORTY AND SUPER CASUAL BUT ALSO AN ELEGANT SIDE. STRIPES IN THE MOST CLASSIC MATCH OF BLACK AND WHITE, OR COLOURED STRIPES THAT DARE WITH BRIGHTER COMBINATIONS. THEY CAN BE DRAWN IN VARIOUS WAYS: HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL OR OBLIQUE, WIDE OR NARROW. THEY STRETCH, DECEIVE THE EYES AND CONFER A FAST PACE TO OUTFITS.

POLKA DOTS “ROUND, SOFT AND SENSELESS”, AS YAYOI KUSAMA DEFINES THEM, THE ICONIC JAPANESE ARTIST OBSESSED WITH DOTS. POLKA DOTS ARE TIMELESS, IRRESISTIBLE, VERSATILE AS, IF NECESSARY, THEY KNOW HOW TO BE FUNNY, RETRO, BON TON, ROCK AND ELEGANT...

THEY ARE A TIMELESS CLASSIC AND A PLEASURE TO SEE AGAIN ON THE CATWALK WITH ITS CONTINUOUS EVOLUTIONS. PERHAPS BECAUSE IT BRINGS US BACK TO THAT MAGICAL ELEGANCE OF THE 50S. FOR YEARS, IN FACT, POLKA DOTS HAVE BEEN SYMBOLISING FEMININITY, ELEGANCE, STYLE, REFINEMENT.

MIMETIC EFFECT THIS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE TREND OF THE SEASON. THE MILITARY STYLE, WITH A MIMETIC EFFECT PATTERN IS A TREND INTERPRETED BY BRANDS NOT ONLY IN A CASUAL STREET STYLE BUT ALSO IN MORE CLASSIC VARIANTS OR IN VIRTUOUS EXPERIMENTS ON THE THEME, ALSO REMIXED WITH ANIMAL PRINTS. THESE VARIATIONS IN MILITARY STYLE CONQUER CELEBRITIES AS WELL AS DESIGNERS. AS MIUCCIA PRADA SAYS: “IT IS AN INVITATION TO SEARCH FOR THE GOOD IN A WORLD WHERE VIOLENCE SURROUNDS US AND WAR SCARES US”.

OR WE CAN IMAGINE WOMEN AND MEN AS, POSITIVE, WARRIORS FIGHTING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

SUPER CLASSIC THERE IS THE INFINITE LOVE STORY OF FASHION FOR THAT MASCULINE STYLE THAT HAS LONG BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH A CERTAIN FEMININE ELEGANCE. IN THIS TREND, WITH MORE WEARABLE FEATURES, FEMININITY MEETS AN ELEGANCE OF THE PAST. THERE ARE WOMEN WHO SEEK ELEGANCE AND SOBRIETY FROM MORNING TO NIGHT. A MORE CLASSIC ELEGANCE, BUT NO LESS SUPER CONTEMPORARY AND OF INTELLECTUAL SUBSTANCE. STRUCTURES ARE IMPECCABLE AS TESTYFING TO AN AURA OF PERMANENCE. TONES ARE NEUTRAL AND NATURAL BECAUSE THEY RECALL THE COLOURS OF THE EARTH.

ECLECTIC MIX OF PATTERNS AN ECLECTIC MIX OF PATTERNS, PRINTS AND MODELS COMBINING SILHOUETTES OF OPPOSING DECADES, CONTRASTING VINTAGE FABRICS WITH MODERN AND ASYMMETRICAL CUTS. A UNION BETWEEN TAILORING AND UTILITARIANISM WITH A BOHEMIAN OR TRANSGRESSIVE TOUCH. THE ART OF MIXING WILL TEASE AGAIN: STYLES, COLOURS AND OBVIOUSLY PRINTS WILL BE MIXED. ABSOLUTE FREEDOM EVEN IN DARING, MIXING WISELY ANIMAL STYLE CLASSICS WITH CONTRASTING CLASSIC FABRICS. A TREND WITH A DASH OF FRESH AND SUBTLE MESS THAT HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO DRESS WOMEN WITH A REBELLIOUS SPIRIT.
