NOT ABOUT ANGELS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND UP-AND-COMING ITALIAN FASHION DESIGNER, GEORGIANA DEPRISCO’S NEWEST FASHION LINE, “NOT ABOUT ANGELS” DERIVES FROM THE SONG OF THE SAME NAME BY BIRDY, WHICH TALKS ABOUT UNREQUITED LOVE AND THE STRUGGLES TWO PEOPLE FACE WHEN THEY FELL IN LOVE BUT COULD NOT BE TOGETHER DUE TO LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. GEORGIANA’S FASHION LINE IS A REFLECTION OF THE SONG’S THEME, AND SHOWCASES A RANGE OF CLOTHING THAT CAPTURES THE HEART, GRIT AND RAW EMOTIONS OF UNREQUITED LOVE. WE SEE PHOTOGRAPHED THE DREAM OF A WOMAN (BRIDE) GETTING MARRIED TO THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, BUT HE SLOWLY FADES AWAY AS JUST A FIGMENT OF HER IMAGINATION. AS HER EMOTIONS HEIGHTEN, THE GOWNS BECOME MORE ELABORATE AND UNVEIL HER UNDOING. THE CLOTHES REPRESENT THE FEELING OF LONGING, HEARTBREAK AND THE BITTER-SWEET MEMORIES OF A LOVE THAT COULD NOT BE. FEATURING A RANGE OF DRESSES, ALL HAND-SEWN AND DESIGNED WITH INTRICATE DETAILING AND EMBELLISHMENTS; EACH PIECE MADE OF DELICATE FABRICS SUCH AS LACE, SILK, VELOUR AND CHIFFON, THAT ADD TO OVERALL DRAMA AND ROMANTIC FEEL OF THE COLLECTION.
