What Antonelli Firenze has sought in the spring-summer 2017 collection is a meditated elegance that leaves room for the personality. It has achieved this by proposing different themes all sharing the bedrock concept that luxury is essentiality.
A mixture of cuts, colours and fabrics runs through the entire collection, where the waistline becomes higher in the culottes-style, above-the- ankle or carrot pants, and in the flowing midi skirts gathered at the hips. The dresses hint at the figure of the wearer rather than hugging it.
Jackets, even in soft glove leather,are short with raw edges or long and sleeveless with shawl collars to be worn over transparent voile t-shirts.
The new femininity is interpreted by a refined play of combinations. These include an array of blouses to be worn over drainpipe pants. Long waistcoats over full calf-length skirts; knee-length shirt-jackets oversoft culottes; zipper-closed bomber jackets in lightweight wool, blouses in printed silk to be worn overpants in male-style wool weaves, as well as a range of tracksuits in a mix of fabrics and contrast colours.
The range of dresses in cotton seersucker in natural summer shades play on an optical effect. The denim-look linen proposals are enhanced by contrast cognac-colour top stitching, while the cottons and linen shave precious inserts in organza weave or lurex. The range of shirts in summer fabrics showcases rufflesand two-tone collars.
And the alternatives for evening wear are long, sleeveless dresses, sometimes with side splits, in shades of white or sand, mandarin orange or black.
