Ferrari RTW Spring 2023

A Ferrari car may be a dream for many, but creative director Rocco Iannone is also interested in the fulfillment of dreams related to the idea of ​​freedom, to the achievement of one's goals, to the pursuit of one's passion, as the founder of the brand did, said the designer before his spring show for the brand.< /p>

In fact, Iannone chose Milan's renovated Teatro Lirico this season as the stage for his Ferrari spring collection as a symbolic place that "tells the dream". To start the show, he screened a short film, "The Dream of Dreamers", stemming from the creative conversation he had with Italian-Canadian photographer and director Floria Sigismondi.

Under the watchful eye of Ferrari President John Elkann, Managing Director Benedetto Vigna and member of the board of directors Delphine Arnault, Iannone paraded a coherent collection, mixing precise tailoring and high-end, quality sportswear.

"Sewing, workwear and running coexist in the same collection, expressing the different souls from Ferrari," said Iannone, who paraded two models wearing the racing suits worn by the brand's Formula 1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, also watched the show. These were translated into luxury suits in satin or soft leather at Rosso Le Mans or Giallo Modena.

At the same time, Iannone also presented beautiful couture-style satin jackets and skirts with embroidery sewn into a selection of tiny screws and bolts. These are the same ones used in the assembly of the engines and in this case they have been sewn together with shiny stones. Fabulous, and an example of exquisite craftsmanship made in Italy. Sequins have also lit up a series of babydolls.

Inspired by his summer vacation in Los Angeles, Iannone revisited classic denim using a process of ozone-based illumination, delivering a camouflage print of stylized California palm trees. The graphic patterns ranged from the visual impact of camouflage to original paintbrush effect dyes.

Pop shirts were worn over pleated trousers and a fitted blazer over a knit cardigan. A shirt dress was combined with a men's jacket, and a nappa leather waistcoat was worn as a dress or as a waistcoat. The Jacquard cargo pants were made with recycled nylon and the cotton was all organic, the designer noted.

Iannone is definitely evolving the brand with his own aesthetic design and he feels more and more assured. He pays homage to the brand with references that make the collection an unmistakable Ferrari, but also breaks free from brand codes and experiments more - clearly having fun with his work. This season, the Ferrari fashion engine roared.
