SPRING/SUMMER 2011
Sensuality, irony and the clear joy about being a woman provide the foundations of the ELISABETTA FRANCHI Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The intent is to create a unique, recognisable style that prompts emulation on the part of women and attraction the part of their admirers. Fantasy and realism coexist in perfect harmony in the new ELISABETTA FRANCHI collection. Women are a seductive version of “Alice in Wonderland”, as they throw themselves into their daily lives, skilfully experimenting with colour and embracing city life with glamour. The Gold Label bears the entire aesthetic arsenal of the designer, with sailor stripes on bows, cherries appearing in prints, embroidery or appliqués as accessories, not to mention pearls, fringes, feathers, all adorning the many pieces designed by Elisabetta Franchi.
Colour takes an upfront role: magenta, cherry red, hydrangea blue, cobalt blue, emerald green, hints of purple and dark green extending to the more pastel shades of dusty pink and nuances of beige.
Jeans are very much mainstays in their varied cuts: Skinny, Boyfriend, Cargo, accompanied by a famous blast from the past, bell-bottoms from the seventies, which enhance and slim the female silhouette.
In the Jeans Gold, fabrics are embellished with luxury decorations, dripping with rhinestones and sequins, must-haves for the fashion-addicted.
And what would the collection be without the more interesting and ironic experiments like the “Box à porter”, a Black Box whose contents include a shirt, a skit, a pair of trousers and two belts with an interchangeable buckle, giving the possibility to invent different outfits depending on fastening preference.
The Passepartout dress is the inevitable take on the “petite-robe noir,” made an icon by Audrey Hepburn in the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and next year celebrating its 85th anniversary. This capsule collection including 24 can’t-do-without pieces to be inserted in the female wardrobe, designed strictly black with gold detailing, or else in black and white. One new entry in the collection is the 24 hour line, at its debut already an assured success. Eighty models have received the talented design of Elisabetta Franchi, who has conceived this collection to meet the night and day requirements of women.
The image Elisabetta has managed to convey with this collection is that of a woman who loves to mix and match pieces of her wardrobe, in turn composed of countless interchangeable pieces. The styles can almost be defined as basic, or rather they derive from basic styles, but thanks to colour, shape and fabric they are transformed. The final effect is a wardrobe of a contemporary woman who loves fashion, but prefers to create her own style with irony and refined taste. It’s a captivating, “cool” look for a sexy woman confident of her body and of her ability to flaunt it. In other words, a style that accepts no imitations.
