Francesco Scognamiglio Spring/Summer 2012
edited by: Matteo Menotto
These creations show a great study for details and the preciousity of the elements involved, but also a clever attention to understand the historical roots and references of forms and decorations that are here strongly brought into present fashion.
The clear reminding is admittedly to a branch of Italian baroque, drawn from pureness and forms of Roman architect Bernini and his masterpiece Apollo and Daphne revisited in a modern twist. The recovering of traditional codes becomes modern in an extraordinary use of lace, where decorations and transparencies are combined in a continuous game of volumes dominated by ruffles applied onto jackets and shirts. The color palette variates from ice-white to black including peach and mint accents to freshen up the whole atmosphere. Accessories give opulence and luxury to the whole look, from the extraordinary baroque-hills to the shining jewellery. A woman extremely fascinating but indeed very hard to catch; able to inspire the highest dreams of desire in the illusion of love, as represented in Bernini’s Daphne.
