In D-tale, the theme of the new Spazio Ricerca that develops and shapes the trends curated by Angelo Figus, together with Carrie Hollands (knit and yarn direction) and Manuela Sandroni (general coordination), the new season will mark a return to the culture of dress and wardrobe. This same philosophy will come across in foods, in the home, in the economy and in social life. There will be greater awareness of and respect for the body and its natural development without excess. This will not mean more rigidity but rather a quest for comfort in how clothes are made, from the material to the styling. Details will make the difference. Details such as construction: from the fabric surface to the design to manufacturing technique. These will be the new style codes of fashion offerings. A sense of true craft skill will characterize products and launch all possible experiments in creativeness. Creativity and quality will find their balance without one dominating the other.
Fashion will return to dreams, forgetting some nightmares and some pajamas. Through imagination and communication it will go back to being something more than a financial instrument. A world of a desire for beauty and positivity to wear. Of more accessible and enjoyable gratification, rewarding for the eye and the body. In this light we will be paying much more attention to the details of the clothes than in past with respect to an overall vision that is perhaps too conditioned, saturated and uncertain to be grasped in all its complexity. The details are passionate,
emotional, irrational, psychic; they attract and intrigue us unconditionally and without any logic.
The season’s first theme BLUNIFORM explores the concept of nobility as a way of being, the spirit’s quest for the high and pure. It is ability to act with grace even when no one is looking, of choosing compassion over judgment, of being firm without arrogance. It is an invisible skill made of kind gestures, of words that uplift, of hearts that accept without asking for anything in return. Nobility is in the dignity with which we face adversity, in the strength of remaining true to our values even when the world seems to deny their importance. It is never flaunted but is revealed quietly, in the
simplest details. It is the breath of those who see beyond themselves, of those who build bridges instead of walls, illuminating paths of others with the light of their own integrity. The color story is like a landscape painted in shades of blues, revealed through a dance of nuances with each one bearing profound meaning.
The second theme explores the concept of EXOTICALL as a call to somewhere else, fascination with what is distant, different, and unknown. It is the desire to dive into new worlds, discover cultures, landscapes, and sensitivities removed from what is familiar. Not only as a physical place, but like a mental state: a lens through which to see what is different with fascinated eyes, to be inspired by colors, fragrances, sounds, and stories that expand the imagination’s horizons. It is the zest for traveling along roads that take us beyond the boundaries of our own experiences, a celebration of the unknown as an inexhaustible source of wonder. But this exoticism is not only discovery: it is also the attempt to understand and respect what is different from us, acknowledging the beauty of uniqueness without expecting to own it. It is a real or imaginary journey that urges us to go beyond our limits to discover a new part of ourselves in what is different. The color story opens like a journey across remote landscapes where, in timeless quiet, the land dresses up in embracing colors. It is a sensory exploration that tells of mysterious forests, exotic gardens, and golden deserts where greens and yellows become the silent language of profound and uncontaminated beauty.
The third theme CAFFÈ DE LÀ PAIX explores the concept of emotivity as an instinctive and profound response to our experiences, an energy that crosses our being, shaping our thoughts, reactions and behaviors.
It is the sensation that lets us feel joy, sadness, fear, and love intensely and that can change our mood in a second. It is the ability to perceive the world and the emotions of others, of being influenced – positively or negatively – by what surrounds us. Emotivity makes us more vulnerable, but also it makes us more connected to others and to what is happening to us, helping us to react to situations genuinely. It is a power that guides us, that makes us feel alive, able to experience and understand the deepest feelings. This theme’s color story is a palette of tones that capture and portray the depths of feeling from the most intimate to the most intense nuances. It is a combination that tells of silent passions, of memories that crop up and of emotions that hide in the depths of the soul.
