The Blumarine girl is a confident woman in AW22.
The Blumarine girl has grown up. This was the main message conveyed by Nicola Brognano and his team backstage on Thursday. “Not just a girl anymore — she’s a woman, femmina. She’s bold, flaunting her body with a confidence as smooth as velvet. Curvy and soft, or lean and sinuous: she celebrates her body beautiful, expressive and powerfully seductive in all its fabulous diversity,” he expressed.
Such can vividly be seen as contrast from the previous two seasons, which celebrated youth and the experimentation with style, all on the quest of finding yourself. This time around, there was a shroud of darkness, a feeling of serious confidence and power as black patent jumpsuits, finished with black rosettes and ribbed red two piece skirt and top sets also featured rosettes, nodding to the ‘90s and the slight fetishtic relationship that fashion created with popular culture.
Furthermore, strong cut-out ruched dresses paired with white veils hinted at uncompromised sensuality, free from the societal gaze of guiding women’s bodies. A sense of unhindered rebellion flowed throughout the collection, providing a plethora of offerings of mood and feeling – are you feeling frivolous, are you feeling rebellious, or do both exist on the same spectrum?
