Figures. Contours soften into scalloped profiles. The bodice appears and disappears at the back; the shirt in cotton voile or organza is small and tender. The body is outlined, at every breath of wind, beneath the wide parachute-silk jumpsuit. Skirts, very long or very short, emphasise the fragile stem of the legs. 

Elegances. The flared linen duster coat, unlined, narrow at the shoulders and wide at the hem. The washed organza shirt, finished with almost festooned ‘chiacchierino’ lace, worn over ultra-light, waxed suede trousers. Flat mannish shoes in raw canvas, and vertiginous heels with a tapered Concorde toe. 

Materials. Technical nylon mesh, impalpable coloured python, nylon bonded with cotton organza (also for military-style jackets), striped stretch taffeta (for shirts draping around the figure), soft lacquered suede. Point d’esprit voile, like childhood dresses. Laser-embroidered cut-outs, silk jacquard layered over transparent nylon. 

Suggestions. For evening, layers of ruches, metallised plissés, starched borders that hold the magic of precious silk sheets. 

Reflections. The candour of white; beige fading into sand tones. Absolute black. Pink, from pale coral to the golden hue known as “desert rose”. 

Magics. By manipulating shadows, volumes and textures – not to represent reality but to transfigure it – black becomes liquid: minute pleats seem glued to the body with pitch, then left to float freely. Black turns more matte than sandpaper, or multifaceted through the thousand scales of galuchat. 

Allusions. Tricot scales compose a silvery, transparent cardigan worn over bare skin. Siren-like, warrior-like. Impalpable white shirts torn into threads of silk and mohair, evanescent silver prints. Pure, sinuous dresses, like robes in velvet and metallised lace, interrupted by almost razor-sharp cuts. 

Illusions. Cardigans with double alpaca collars, more effervescent than fur. Fantastic spotted pony skin, almost the result of impossible unions. Shoes in fabric and scale, slender pumps with metal patches – a flash at every step – glossy vinyl soles, feet tapered by light. 

Wonders. Barrel coats, sculptural blousons and bomber jackets, variously padded at different points of the body. Pinstripe and cheviot fabrics illuminated by the stylised note of a white shirt or by the silvery splendour of a grey taffeta blouse. Accents of absolute black, mineral grey, cadmium red. Hyperlight jeans like thin sheets of metal: pewter, aluminium, platinum. Softened by lingerie of metallic consistency, in gold and bronze.
